Poll question: What to say to Fundies who insist on bugging you so they leave you alone?
Edited on Tue Jan-30-07 02:34 PM by Deep13
My wife and I were on Fremont St. in Vegas on Xmas eve. Some Fundy chick started bugging us and wouldn't go away. What can a person say to holy rollers to get rid of them?

3. "I've been terrified of Christians since one killed my grandmother."
Mainly, I'd just be curious how they'd react.

5. Another way to make their heads explode
Ask 'em why there are two creation stories, and they give opposite orders of creation. Honestly, they can never answer this one.

Or, I sometimes tell 'em I'm fine with going to hell, so they should bother someone who isn't. If you seem serious enough when saying this to them, it puts great pressure on the inside of their heads as well.

24. That does confuse 'em
A lot of fundies seem to think that Jews are only characters in the Bible and that we don't exist in the real world. Plus, they kind of don't know how to handle us since we believe in God, but not Jesus. So when they say "come to the Lord", I can say "I'm already there", but we're talking about two different things. It throws them quite off track.
