I don't care to change people's beliefs, my only concern is how they act upon those beliefs, or conversely, how those beliefs compel them to action.  

For example, the nutter who thinks gays should be put to death, because god says so...draws some shield..in his own mind, from maintaining that "god" says so.  We hear it all the time.  "God's rules, not mine".  Ridiculing that god is -one- way to show the believer that his perceived cover is not unimpeachable.  A fairy told him...in a book...that gays should be executed.  Let's all take him and his beliefs super serious, they totally deserve it. Let's have a reasoned and civil debate on the merits of his claim, because......

LOLNO!, what a complete moron. I didn't do what my imaginary friend told me to do when I was a child and this asshole is, presumably, a fully functioning non-psychotic adult.

(see, it's easy)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
