When I married my wife, these folks weren't fundies, they were
reasonably normal (as far as in-laws can be, anyway).
They found Gawd, and changed everything about their lives, turning
their back on education (some holding advanced degrees) and assuming
radical religious and political positions. They travel in packs of
like thinking "believers" and will tolerate other folks only so far as
their potential to conversion to the "right" side. How do you respond
to things such as, "even the Jews are seeing the light and coming over
to *our* side"? Insert ridiculous rant on Messianic Jews, here.
They are religious, cultural, and political wingnuts. If I seem to
lack patience with that.... J'm overdosed on it right now......
I know people like that, there is nothing you can do for them really. I
admire that you still deal with them. Either way, don't associate the
rest of us with them, they are as sick as junkies and twice as pathetic.
I'd still like to know about the little matter at hand about how the
world's only 6000 some odd years old, but science proves otherwise. Do I
have the answer? No. But I would think the proof of burden would be on
those who believe that's the age of the earth.
