Thanks for putting this up. It's so true. That was the exact frame of mind we worldwiders had. I posted this to Facebook and plan to cross post to my blog as well.
Thanks Gavin, good article. There is literally no hope for the brainwashed fundies and I gave up on them a good while back. I only wished I had realized it sooner and saved all the time and energy wasted on them.
A lot of these people have an idealistic need to believe the world is painted in simple black and white and their pastor / leaders have all the answers from God. Detached, critical reasoning is a skill that only a few seem capable of. Education is the ony inoculation against churches that do not allow functional frontal lobes though their doors.

Of course, #1 can be quite difficult to accomplish.
