This man may be indeed a stump, but the fact that he has continued to engage in conversation reveals that at some level, he is really interested in knowing the truth. He is just afraid of what he's going to find out if he looks....

As to the "redneck" aspect of this. The area of evolution, (with the ardent science worshippers who argue it's validity here), is where I have found a bizarre brand of liberalism in those who claim to belong on this conservative forum. (Making it clear that I don't think all those who believe in 'theistic evolution' fit the category of 'worshippers' like this guy does. With them, I just have a difference of opinion)

They routinely ridicule people of faith. They routinely ridicule God's word, yet I think consider themselves to be conservatives.

It just doesn't fit, does it?

Entirely 180 degrees backwards, actually. There is little more I'd love to be true than the Christian notions of the afterlife, and what is necessarily associated with that. However, wishing something were so and knowing it to be so are not necessarily the same things.

By "people of faith" are you referring to Muslims?By "God's word" do you mean the Koran?

So people who disagree with you can't be Christians or conservatives? Must be lonely.
