Which just goes to show that the one thing fundies really can't stand
is to be laguhed at.
Their armor aginst being made to look stupid is essentially
impenetrable. They just never realize how dumb some of there
"agrguments" are, but they understand when people start actually
laughing in their face.
Poor Tony. He just doesn't seem that if he wants respect all he has
to do is post a real argument. >>

Absolutely. The power of mockery, especially with the pious and
self-righteous, cannot be over estimated (i.e. Ronal's exit). Ingersoll
observed this a hundred years ago and put it to good use.
It is especially necessary AND called for when dealing with ones
who are incapable of, or not interested in, using, reason.

"Laughing has always been considered by theologians as a
crime. Ministers have always said you will have no respect for
our ideas unless you are solemn. Solemnity is a condition
precedent to believing anything without evidence. And if you
can only get a man solemn enough, awed enough, he will
believe anything." --Ingersoll
