Interesting way to proselytise...

conversions to what? biodiesel?

Atheism, or at least get them to become agnostic.

Why would you feel the need to convert anyone?  Wouldn't that make you just as bad as the people you have a problem with??

Its little more than exposing fraud really, and it would get the nut jobs out of my face.

The thing that annoys me about fundies is the unswerving belief that their particular brand of truth is the absolute, the only correct truth.   The thing that people forget is that you don't have to believe in anything to be a fundie.

I suppose you have to hand it to them for believing in something, at least they are nice and happy in their bubble they create.

But you cannot really be a fundie and an agnostic. I suspect you are refering to atheism here.

Hmm...can one not be rabid about pushing the
'good' of skepticism?

Though, you're no longer ACTUALLY skeptical,
if you do.

Not really, as you said you are not a skeptic if you do.

Exactly; a hardcore Atheist can be every bit as smug, self righteous and narrow minded as any other Theist fundie.

[Calandale]

As can those who believe in science.

They do tend to be smarter though, even if he is a cock, Dawkins does pwn the fundie morons.

Could you explain this? I have trouble imagining being
a fundie skeptic.

I was referring to Hadron's comment that he would have been forced to covert them to Atheism.  I've seen people who are atheist who are just as arrogant that they hold the only truth and must make all the misguided people who have some religious beliefs see the light, as any religious fundie out there.

Ah. But an atheist believes in something (sorta).

[purposefulinsanity]

Lets not get nit-picking- you know I was talking about what would traditionally be called religious beliefs/faith- there just isn't another succinct way of putting it imo.

[Calandale]

I guess. Though, as I pointed out,
one COULD be sort of a fundie skeptic,
even if doing so made them no longer
a skeptic at all.

I used to get really stoned with some mates and we usually went to KFC afterwards. (y'know, the munchies thing).

There was a stack of leaflets on the counter, something about how bad drugs are, so naturally I took one for a laugh.

The whole thing was bullshit and generally painted a bad picture for ANY substance that can be taken as a stimulant (including coffee!) or depressant.

Had funny (i.e. shitty) cartoons too.

After further investigation of the fine print on the back, it was based on the teachings of L.Ron Hubbard.

Oh Narconon. I bet Christianity and the like started out a similar way...
