Can't say what one thinks on the P list?

No argument here. I debated for four hours with a couple of them once. 

It's no use defending atheism with a fundy; they scoffed at my 
'optimistic agnosticism'. Anything less than total faith, to them, 
indicates Satanic influence.

I'm just saying that in they hands of a person of high IQ, 
Fundamentalist beliefs are immensely frustrating, rare as it might be.

Fundamentalist are WILLFULLY STUPID for the sake of their beliefs, at

Our local Mensa chapter has several fundamentalist Christians,
including a professor of Creation Science. It's probably 'smarter' to 
be Christian in the Bible Belt.
