A Christian is by definition someone who believes that Jesus Christ is
their savior. Are you saying that Christians can't be reasoned with,
that they can't understand complex topics? Are Christians irrational?

It sure does sound like you're a religious bigot, though that seems to
be a politically correct form of bigotry these days. Shouldn't people
vote based on their personal beliefs?

A Christian is not JUST someone who accepts Christ as their savior. They also
believe God created the heavens and earth, things possible and impossible.
Christians do not believe in evolution, as they are guided by the bible, who is
written by God and interpreted by man.

I know that many Christians believe in evolution, though there are
some that do not.

Yes, Christians can be reasoned with, but when it comes to things of science,
no, they cannot.

Yet there have been plenty of scientists that were Christians, some of
them deeply religious. I'm sure we could discuss science with them.
Again it comes down to what kind of Christians we're talking about.

How many fundamentalists are there that are really unwilling to listen
to other points of view? Listening is not the same thing as being
convinced or converted. Are there really 20 million of them, and is
that number really higher then other blocks of unreasonable people?
