Sounds fun, there'd certainly be fireworks if they're fundies and I set them straight..
Where do they hang?
See, here's whats interesting about that response. You seem to be trying to be amusing. But you don't know any of these folks, you probably haven't even read their posts.
Yet you still offer to set them straight. (Yeah good luck with that. I was raised fundie. Their minds do NOT change.) To suggest that they need YOU to "set them straight" - what arrogance. The level of disrespect is mind-boggling. You assume, in one flash of ignorance, that these strangers are somehow childish and mentally-deficient - too illiterate to research and decide what to believe on their own.
Everyone who tries to "convert" someone else to any belief is practically shouting at them "I'M RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG, HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID?" -- It would be different if there was a shred of evidence to back the claims, but we're talking about nearly coming to blows here over which has the higher IQ - the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy?
Which is why I leave religious people alone until they start preaching. Then I need EVIDENCE for their claims. No books, no fantasies, no personal experiences - just proof, thank you.
-They don't even need to start preaching. Simply declaring themselves a believer is already a middle finger to us, IMO. It's implicit simply in their identity. Keeping that to themselves, not saying a word about it, that's about all they can do to foster tolerance, otherwise, fuck 'em.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
