How to talk to a right-wing fundamentalist...if you must!
1. First and foremost, ask them to read Matthew 7:21-27, which says:

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

2. Then ask them to read Matthew 25: 40: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. KJV

3. And then, ask them when is the last time they fed a hungry person, or volunteered to raise the child of a woman going in for an abortion.

Then, wait and see what they say!!

3. Thanks for the ammo, luckily I don't know any fundies. And,
more importantly, I don't want to know any! ;-)

4. On number 3
I would ask them how many abandoned handicapped children they've already adopted, how many hungry people they have fed, how many homeless people they've given money to without trying to tell them how to spend it, how many elderly people in nursing homes they have listened to.

They already think women should be incubators for somebody else's babies.

5. Someone actually told me that they thought Adam and Eve ...
...really existed. I asked them if they believed in Snow White and Cinderella because they're all fairy tales. Got a big laugh.

I'm not proud but... :shrug:
