If someone you despised came over to our side, what would you do?
Say, Jerry Foulwill or Pat Roberson....

If they had an epiphany, and said they were going to pursue the liberal cause because its more in line with Jesus' teaching, how would you react?

4. Nothing
Just wondering your reaction. After all, a few neo-cons and conservatives HAVE come over to our side (David Brock, Ariana Huffington and John Dean to name a few...)

2. I'd check to make sure that I wasn't on one of those Candid Camera Shows.
Like PUNK'D or something like that...

5. I'd say GREAT
but I'll believe it when I see it. It that were to be done by any of the rightwing nutjobs, they'd better be ready for a lot of skepticism, and be prepared to prove themselves by their actions.

6. First, I would keel over, likely fatally injuring myself.
Second, if I lived long enough, I would have to ask: "What the hell took you so long?"

14. Her hubby coming out of the closet was part of it
I mean, here was a guy she liked. Respected. Enjoyed the company of. True they couldn't be married anymore.

So began her journey...

John Dean is key IMHO.
He has such a unique perspective.

8. hopefully the reason for my dislike of said person is based on that
one's behavior and its effects on others. consequently, a changed perspective and changed behavior (required) ought to eliminate the cause of my negative evaluation.

I think an alien invasion is more likely, personally,
but, hey, why not run with it. "Welcome aboard. We're glad you've finally come to your senses."

9. I'd ask how they intended to make up for all the harm they had caused ...
up to that point. And then I would say Congratulations on your enlightenment.

12. I'd want to know what his flock thought of it.
It's not enough to profess a change of heart--what would a Jerry or Pat do to get his fans up to speed?

15. Reserve final judgement
Until they back it up with actions, and do it the same way that Christ did!!!!
