Hey Mycernius. I think you are making an unfounded assumption (that a lot of atheists tend to make). You are assuming that fundies are using some sort of rational decision making process. I’ll give you an example:
A couple of weeks ago I was talking to some fundie protesters (apparently their god told them to drive 12 hours to a tiny campus in the middle of nowhere to spread the good news that we will all burn for eternity) and they were trying to tell me that the hundreds of contradictions in the Bible (they said there were that many, I didn’t know there were) actually prove it to be the unerring word of an all knowing god.
Now I’m not saying all fundies are entirely without some sense of rationality, but I think it’s fair to say that the guy strapping C4 to himself might not have much more reason to do what he’s doing than my copy of Scilab has for pseudo-randomly generating the number 0.6283918.
On another note, what happens if you take this pill?
It's half red, half blue. Would you be in the matrix or not?
