If you confronted an enemy of your beliefs,..what would you do?

Imagine, a person, right in front of you, INTENTIONALLY "selling" LIES lies while simultaneously defrauding you of every single moment you have invested your heart/soul/mind/body/sweat/tears in every moment of your life and a life greater than you.vesting in a life greater than you.

2. i'm sorry what was the question again?

i think pretty much all of us have confronted an enemy of our beliefs who lies to our face, it's part of being an adult, hell, part of being a child for that matter

3. Anyone with that much power over me would need to be shot on sight

However, I can't recall ever meeting anyone like that.

6. I'm imagining a confrontation with a fundie, whom I'd either tell to get the hell outta my face, or

try to engage in discussion about how silly it is for one person (or one people for that matter) to be filled with hate for the other soley because of beliefs (spiritual) that niether can prove to be real - depending on my mood.

10. I have a fantasy about Bush showing up on my doorstep for a photo-op

I'd call out for a Secret Service officer, and when he/she answered, I'd tell him/her, "Please get this man off my property."

Then, I'd shut the door in his face (carefully) and call the local news to tell them what I'd done.

I'd let his wife or daughters use the bathroom if they needed to, but not his mother.

7. Sounds like the devil

Since I don't believe in the devil, I will have to think of something/someone else.

Would you mind rewording your question, or put it into a sentence?

11. Tell Em Jesus loves them and they better hurry and see him before he changes his mind

Or just shrug and waltz along. If they are selling lies it means they may well not believe em, so no point in wasting moments of life arguing with em. Unless I was drunk.

14. Well, Based On What I See Here From Time To Time, The Person Should Step Away From The Mirror.

Too often it's the person themselves who is lying to themselves and being self-destructive.
