Hear, hear...BUT maybe this should have been directed more generally;
this one may be less of a rabid-dog fundamentalist than many B-)
I do hate to appear to be attacking any individual fundie. I know
(and am related) to several and, frankly, they're a pretty OK bunch
socially. But they all have this chip on their shoulder about being
attacked when someone disagrees with them. And they all think they
are always right...hell, they have a direct line to God! This is not,
and will never be, a "scientific" attitude. A fundie doesn't have to
be rabid to be wrong. The fellow in this group may not be rabid, but
he *is wrong*.
