I'm not opposed to fundies so long as they are content to just
be fundies, but when they work to deny civil rights protections to people I have a problem. Fundies have a history of fighting legal protections for vulnerable people. From protecting old ladies from prosecution as witches, to protecting people from church-sanctioned torture, to protecting small children from virtual slavery in factories, to ending slavery, to ending segregation, to ending any and all forms of bigotry, fundies are always there to fight change. They always claim to have God on their side. These are the same people who claim that every word of the bible is literal truth. They are therefore at least somewhat inured to such things as rape, incest and genocide, since all are either sanctioned or practiced by the god of their bible.
Many of them are good people who would do anything for you if you were in need (and indeed there are many fundies I myself care for deeply; I live in the Deep South after all), but I will always speak out against them and oppose them politically.

Then you should drop all pretense of intellectual discussion. You are interested only in emotion and romance. You have nothing to offer to anyone who is more intersted in facts and reason, and neither would a person interested in facts and reason have anything of value for you.
