Do something supremely evil and violent to get rid of the stupid people I know? Oh, wait, that's just about everyone...and I'm a pacifist... Shit.

By the way, man, you've got 42 posts! The answer to life, the universe, and everything! Woooo! :D

I'd go back and revise every holy book, so fundies of all stripes won't have anything to justify slavery/genocide/war/hatred with.

Change the minds of church leaders when Darwin wrote his book so that the church wouldn't have protested against evolution. This would have prevented the rise of creationism, and thus much of modern fundamentalism. Not perfect, but it works.

Hahaha, hmm, that could very well be so... Ando keeps telling me that I can't in actuality be a pacifist and be an American at the same time; he says the two don't mix, so I have to pick one or the other. :D

And for the record, I was tempted to write about bludgeoning a fundie friend of mine (who actually visited this board for a few short days) in answer to this thread. My favourite sport is to sit down with him and try to talk him out of his circular reasoning: weee! But the pacifistic side of me said that wouldn't be nice, so I said nothing. But of course, I just said something here, now, so...bugger. Nevermind. I'm back to being a bitchy non-pacifist. :D

I'd print out a complete list of crimes, intelligence actions, economical manipulations that fundies made or where they were involved and present them to the "believers", while force the fundies to admit.

That would surprise the population of the world...

Though according to Mr Bush senior....you cant be an american and athiest either....and most importantly you cant be a....patriot! (I do wonder though if he meant you cant be used to try and intercept missiles.....because then for once he might have been right.) :lol:
