Fundamentalism, Intelligence, and Humor

Grumpy old fundies hate nothing more than cheerful people-- unless it is intelligent people! They thrive on total mediocrity, and will do anything to promote and strengthen it. (But isn't that "strengthening weakness"?:)

The extremists are terrified that someone, anyone, will shine a spotlight on their weaknesses, and make them expose themselves as the worthless pieces of dirt which they believe, deep down, themselves to be! So, they never welcome those blessed with humor, or with half a brain! (Deep down, they also fear, accurately, that they are also ignorant.) As Lao Tzu might say, The ungifted do not welcome the gifted.

Well, now we can laugh at these limitations. When you laugh, they are no longer shackles capable of chaining you down or holding you back! So, it is suggested that we laugh at them, not harshly, but because their antics are genuinely funny! If you can turn a "hell" into humor-therapy, then victory is yours! The "demonic" (fearbased) are fairly adequate at debate, and condemnation is their stock and trade, but they turn to dust in the face of clear, honest laughter!

So, keep on laughing and growing!
