They're still dumbshits.

That's all you need to know.

you mean because they ended up in a stalemate?

or because they're arguing for the sake of the audience?

cuz in the last case you'd be calling LMNO a dumbshit, as i was initially replying to his post

No, because they're dumbshits.  If they weren't they'd be doing something better with their time.

Arguing with fundies is fun, because you can show them to be dumbshits.  Quite easily too, since the Bible contradicts itself just about everywhere on every point.  Having a copy of the Art of Eristic Debate open helps too, since that was made for public debating.

If you're just out to fuck with their heads, then I see no problem.

In my experience, most people are not willing to entertain other views at all and no matter how compelling your verbal argument, you will only sway those who are already uncertain and uninvolved.
