- Go to Winding up bible thumpers -- wind em up real good?
pappy -- I can identify with the inherent fun involved in lighting fuses
But there is a decided disadvantage when trying to do it in reverse. The tenets of faith and in particular Christian faith are well known, widely distributed and pervasive in nature. Winding up bible thumpers becomes a fairly easy process of re-serving their dogma back to them. Not so with the non existant tenets of atheism. Non belief is individualistic in nature so it is not likely that anyone has a grasp on just what is the collective mindset of the athiest or agnostic. This reality immediately reduces any attempt to discredit this group to nothing more than a feeble and ignorance based attack for the sake of attack.

Some of us enjoy winding up the bible burners, too. How 'bout this: "If you don't do what I say, you're going to rot in Hell, FOREVER!" Who's pushing who's buttons here?
