I'm not the only ones with fundie relatives. I have to endure my father-in-law every holiday sit around and slobber all over Bush for hour after hour. He thinks Bush is the 2nd coming of Christ and that Jimmy Carter and Martin Luther King Jr. should both be shot as traitors (literally shot - I'm not exagerrating!!!). Of course my father-in-law is a "Christian" and is a deacon at his local southern baptist church. No wonder Christians get a bad rap. I appreciate your choice to sit back and listen. I usually find that it can be amusing to just listen and not try to "fix" them. FYI... I just orderd Carter's new book. It sounds great. He is one of the few people attempting to keep Christianity from becoming mutually exclusive with intelligence and compassion. Wow! I’m not the only ones with fundie relatives.

Holidays with the fundie relatives. Last year I got to listen to a BIL drone on at length about his interpretations of all the signs that we were at the end of days. Can't imagine how much fun it'll be this year, what with the hurricanes and all to give him additional fodder. My holiday mantra: Bite your tongue 'til it bleeds. Ah,yes.
