Why bother? With faithfools there really is no fucking point. At least beating your head off a brick wall there's a chance you'll get through eventually.

The point isn't for the person you're talking to, it's for everyone who's listening.

Going head-to-head against a fundie won't convince the fundie, but it may change the view of those watching the fight.

yup, and you might help those others arguing with the fundie to find different ways to argue with them.  Because, at least on MySpace anyway the argument basically consists of:

Fundy: "God is Love.  God is Everything"
non-fundy: "You are wrong because I think you suck."

Boring.

Know thy enemy.  Or at least, know thy person with a belief system different from yours.

expecially when the enemies are in control
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

I find staying as paranoid as Phil painful in my melon. Got a cure for that (besides being less paranoid, 'cos that could be dangerous)?

And it's FUN.  Fundies are HILARIOUS.
