On that note, perhaps it would be better to start a thread dedicated to "Fundie Idiocy Finds" on the web to which each of these little tidbits could be added, rather than periodic threads like this one, which typically are quickly played out and lost in the massive volume of posts here. Just a thought.
That would be a good idea... wish there was some organization to go about on the internet searching out ignorant fundie holes like this and helping to forcefully educate them. Such things can be tricky..

SDN used to have the 'Imperial Strikeforce' to do that sort of thing, but other boards didn't much like the idea of an organised board-invasion group. Besides, any invasion based from SDN would go down in flames(literaly) as dozens would be banned since the message would be drowned out by the words "fucktard" and "cocksucker" repeated a great deal. Most boards are a bit more... severe in their hostility towards profanity in debate.

Since many posters on that board keep on using the "pray for him" line, wouldn't it be funny if someone joined their board and wrote the "I will think for you line" in response.

B-but.. that sounds like fun.
*sigh* Us n00bs missed all the fun...
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
I actually have a uncle who is really smart and has 2 PhDs, he also believes in the Big Bang Theory. If you want to know the truth before Darwin died he claimed that all his theories were not true, and he accepted Christ right before he died. I followed my uncle around for three days trying to get him to talk about it and Christianity-he still isn't a Christian to this day but he's been rattled and not by me. I told him that pigs would fly if the theory of evolution was real. I asked what would make him believe in God and he said when pigs would fly. I prayed right there that a pig would fly out of the sky but nothing happened. I still prayed for him and that night his youngest daughter that was 3 years old ran into his bedroom crying for him saying that she saw pigs flying-no one had been around when my uncle made that statement so she wouldn't have known about it. God had answered my prayer but my uncle is still not a Christian and I can't force him into anything. The more you push the more hard headed some people get, but just keep praying and bring it up to the person everyone once in a while. Most importantly do what God commands you to do and listen for His voice when your talking to the person. It helps, I'll be praying for you and your friend
~God Bless~
Holy crap, prayer overkill. This guy is hardcore to the bone [/quote]
I believe the solution is quite obvious. Your friend is right. Anyone who fits two conditions will be an evolutionist:
1. Is sane.
2. Is sufficiently educated in the proper fields of understanding.
Evolutionists are primarily sane, rational people who simple understand that science brings truth, while religion brings about a situation in which people are ignorant and stupid enough to store the corpses in the same water that they drink, and eventually the general populace becomes stupid enough that they can't even actually read the bible. Not that any of you have anyways...
In essence, let your friend maintain his sanity. Don't be annoying.
If you believe that God is a real being, external to your belief, you must accept that you can also be wrong about God's nature. If you don't accept this, then you may be converting people into a belief system that leads them to hell. You may convert them into a lie.

It seems some of us have moved to engage the fundies. It looks like a bunch of kiddies who can't spell properly being blown away by people who actually know what they are talking about.

I can abstain from cursing when the situation requires it, and it would be quite interesting to go throughout the internet explaining to fundamentalists why they are wrong. There is actually a minor chance of conversion... we may actually help out a bit in fighting the extreme ignorance and stupidity in this country.

Believe me, it isn't. The fallout that often resulted from the actions of said group in the early days of the board was generally more trouble than it was worth, and trying to exert the necessary level of control over the more enthusiastic members of such an invasion force was generally impossible. It just generated a lot of unnecessary ill will and brought retaliatory invasions from the target boards if they noticed what was happening to them.
There's a good reason why those groups do not exist anymore. You want to go somewhere and debate some idiots, fine. Just don't drag the collective forum into it. Doing so tends to annoy a lot of people here when such a thing backfires, and it eventually will, probably sooner than later.

It would be less problematic if said group could order itself outside of this board, even if the people who were part of it met here. Would that be less problematic, and possibly more viable?

Yep. Originally it was a seven-piece called Yahweh, but then two of them broke off to form the Everly Brothers, and the 5 that were left changed their name to 'The Flying Spaghetti Monster' and are now finishing their tour of Sirius. They'll be back here in their 'Omega' tour in 4 Billion years when the Sun finally swallows us up in a super-nova, 'cause their 'Alpha' tour was well-received by people as 'the Saviour' and 'Bigger than the Beatles'.
