Hmmm... the fanatics are fun... hours of laughing (you) and angry shouting, sobbing or crying (them) - you can even make a lot of fun with religious fanatics without them noticing it. Watch when and where they stop using their brains - believing in any religion can bring people to that point in awesome speed... then you got them ;) Hmmm... geeks _do_ read, don't they? Think of Nietzsche's "Der Antichrist" or similar. You won't believe how many intelligent and really really unfriendly analyses of christianity there are. And the real point even with the Vatican is not church history like burning witches or violently invading the arabian world for god's sake - no, it's christian ideology. Read a bit, watch carefully and smile about what you understand, this may be the ultimate survival skill for teenage geeks ;) Or just talk of First Person Shooters, Horror movies and that you would love to have a coffin as your bed, you could... oh - it's about survival... Better don't do this with the fanatics ;) PS: Be aware of the sheep, those who really believe Christianity has done humanity good and try to bring peace everywhere, they will even cry to stop you from arguing, and they _are_ persistent... Smile and nod, those people can be very useful when you are in trouble. PPS: Often christian youth groups consist of just a few real believers and a hand full of ordinary kids just using the space and possibilities provided. PPPS: Hmmm, just thought about this, this is definitely not off-topic for this list ;) Greetings, Thomas
