[Journer]

[Stumps]

I saw that ages ago on SBS....his show is pretty funny.

 

[clickynext]

lol, but at least the religious ones don't do it with malicious intent.

It's annoying when they come but I just politely say I'm not interested, close the door, and that's that.

 

[Printer Bandit]

wow, i'd like to punch that guy in the face.

 

[StrangerGuy]

Don't attempt to shove your beliefs and ideas down others' throats...Thought everyone knew that?

 

[xcript]

:laugh: Nice.

 

[imported_Ned Flanders]

Awesomeness doesn't even begin to describe that.

 

[d2arcturus]

Bible thumpers finally get a taste of their own medicine. Eat it.

Those two guys didn't do it with malicious intent. They weren't out to do harm.
We here have a religious community (the Jehova witnesses I think) that sometime walk on the street giving away their magazines (Watch Tower). They don't do little more than that, they don't bang on people's doors and so on.
In my brother-in-law city of birth, some sect went on Christmas and played carols in buildings (on the stairways).

I have some stakes that need burning. Anyone have extra rope?

 

[akshatp]

That was awesome...

 

[fire400]

not funny. if this guy is so awesome, I don't see people following his footsteps and doing the same thing.

first off, his morals suck.

secondly, he is like some dork who can't seem to get over himself.

last but not least, the laugh goes back at himself, he's just faced unproductivity.

I feel sorry for losers like this who try to prove a point and fail terribly just to get people to laugh. He considers himself to be a know-it-all, instead he's very cocky and annoying.

 

[George P Burdell]

LOL, that was beautiful.

Living in the bible belt I've had the door-to-door religious folks stop by occasionally, and I do openly and politely discuss with them how their belief systems are wrong. It's fun when they try and explain the flaws of evolutionary theory, and how it is "just a theory". Even more fun that one thinks he knows what he's talking about, but you can see the seeds of doubt rise in the eyes of the secondary as you explain the simple facts of evolution, a system you can recognize in your day-to-day rather than some system of faith. They all give up at some point when it becomes obvious that I know more on the subject than they do, though they will leave pseudo-scientific pamphlets on matters like UFOs (seriously). Needless to say, I don't get a lot of repeat visits though they all promise to come back once they've "researched" the answers. I usually give them an out in that faith in science does not preclude the existance of a higher order, and that faith is a personal experience which can't be shared. I wonder if any of them are converted.

evolution is not so agreed upon as you believe, or 'simple' as you say. although it annoys the heck out of me when religious fundies try to spout off arguments against evolution with no idea what they're talking about, people who believe that everyone accepts a gradual darwinian evolution as fact irks me too. there are major players, such as the late stephen jay gould, who espoused punctuated equilibrium, which is a theory of evolution i tend to hold to more...i think it is a better explanation as to the lack of evidence in the fossil record for small gradual, incremental changes.
