Random Quote
(Complete listing)In the fundamentalist view, unbelievers have only two relevant attributes: They are potential converts and sources of temptation. As objects of evangelism, they are called 'crops to be harvested,' 'sheep to be found,' and 'fish to be netted.' Because of the danger of worldly influence (much like a contagious disease), relationships with 'them' must be handled gingerly. Contacts must be superficial, geared toward evangelism only, and cut short if there is not a positive response. Since Christians are already full of truth, there is no need for them to listen, nothing for them to learn, and much for them to lose by admitting alternative views into their consciousness.
Marlene Winell, Leaving the Fold (Oakland, CA: New Harbinger, 1993), pp. 76-77.

You and me both. I figure, who cares if they still believe nonsense about gods and lose a few, "If there was proof" types, as long as you embarass the nuttier segment that want to replace reason with self induced ingorance. Then I think about the consequence of having perpetuated religion, or the backlash from eventually telling people it was all just a magic trick using some advanced but unreleased techonology and...
Sigh... Its still a nice day dream though.

Oooooh. The "read the comments" link in the RSS feed is super snazzy. However, it will do nothing for my productivity at work.
However, I would say that the links butted up again the image. It may be a tiny little bit better if there was a hard break between the posts and the links back here.

And Cory Burnell can kiss my South Carolinian *ss, too!
[Redneck voice]We don't want his kind here.[/Redneck voice]
Can I get about 20 rational people to move here to counteract the 20 nuts that Burnell has supposedly gotten to move to SC?

I already live in SC so count me as one.
Love the cartoon.
