There may be some that are in this fold that shouldn't be. (Gasp!) Maybe some of my posts my wake them up.

Not fools? Well, Timmy, you would have to qualify what the Bible considers a fool, and what you consider a fool. Those who follow the Bible and believe it is a guide to their lives would believe that anyone who rejected their God or didn't believe in God (to quote the Psalm,) would be a fool. No hard feelings, but to hang around a religious forum to "provoke" or try to convert the people isn't the best way to win friends and influence them. It would be like an ex-Atheist who was once an Atheist; being a member of an Atheist board, then getting an epiphany to wake the others up. The reaction is the same, the endeavor becomes futile as the other Atheists (who witness their former members metamorphosis) try to "provoke" them. Monty Python? That's going to convert who? How is your campaign against Christianity working around the people you use to attend church with?

How many in your town who attended church with you convert to your current belief?
