Blow a faux Christian mind when they talk about the Iraqis
"deserving" it.
Ask why, if the United States is sooooo special and sooooo sacred and sooooo Christian, when Jesus could have walked anywhere on this earth, why did he choose to walk through Babylon instead of what is now New York City or Los Angeles?

1. Actually that fits in with their world view
that the end of the world will happen because of unrest in the Middle East where Jesus did walk.

2. Because that was "the olden times."
Same reason there were giants, arks and other miracles too.

No offense, but I dont see this talking point really working on too many fundies.

3. Actually
If Jesus Christ himself appeared and told the fundies a truth different than what THEY believe, they would probably hang him on the cross themselves and continue to worship the image they have created.

4. Sing 'em this too... they hate this musical play!
Every time I look at you
I don't understand
Why you let the things you did
Get so out of hand
You'd have managed better
If you'd had it planned
Now why'd you choose such a backward time
And such a strange land?

If you'd come today
You could have reached the whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication
Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong, now
Don't you get me wrong


Then, when their heads are spinning, ask them why it's ok for them to pass judgment on others when Jesus specifically told them not to. And then tell them that Jesus loves Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden every bit as much as he loves them. Once the convulsions stop, tell them that however you treat the lesser of men, so also do you treat the Lord.


Yeah, those bastards need to learn to walk the freaking talk alright.
