My position: You can lead a horse to water and it’ll drink if it feels like it.

Fundie position: You can lead a horse to water, grab its head, force it under until it’s got no breath left to argue with you, tell it it’s baptized and walk away feeling good about what you’ve done.

As a fundie, I’m more in line with the ‘he’ll drink if he feels like it’ position.

Hmmmmm… I wonder if they’ll take away my ID card. 🙂

If you have a fundie card, **Nav** , you’ve borrowed it from someone else. You are among the (many, not few) Fundamentalists that I respect.
