I think I could stand to be around fundies, and other proclaimed christians, if they would get over the nonsense of the bible being the "infallible word of god."

I don't know about you, Aaron, but I find that so darn tiresome.
More than agree.

I used to work with a devout christian. We frequently discussed religion to pass the time. The reason we could discuss, rather than argue, was because recognised his faith as his belief rather than holding it as the ultimate truth. He also respected my agnostic beliefs even though he didn't agree.

He aknowledged that even though he chose to place his faith in the bible as the word of god, he wouldn't argue that it was the word of god either.

Point is - there are fundies out there capable of rational discussion. They're just hard as hell to find.
