I'm pretty sure the comic books are more wholesome.

Then when they get older, they can spend hours online asking Christians questions --- right?

That fiction seems to produce a lot of curiosity around here.

Do you think that curiosity about your fiction somehow makes it non-fiction???

So does Harry Potter on HP forums.

Not likely to happen though is it. Sad that you see theology merely as a tool for pwning others.

No, Christians get angry when you ask questions.

Awww --- they do, huh?

And that stops you guys from wanting Christian Theology out of our schools, while simultaneously spending hours on the Internet asking question after question?

What would you think if I wanted Evolution Doctrine out of the schools (which I do), yet spent hours online asking question after question?

Whatever point you're trying to make, you're doing it poorly.

We're not having long discussions about this with you because we're curious/interested. We're doing it as a way to sharpen our debate skills while simultaneously showing them off to each other. While you (not just you, but most creationists) are like a clown as far as entertainment goes, we also use you as a sharpening rod, a punching bag, a tackling dummy... you get the picture.
We're not actually interested in your doctrines any more than a football player wishes to "beat" a team of tackling dummies.

Of course, while I speak in the plural "we," I only truly speak for myself. But I suspect at least a few feel the same way. Sorry to be so blunt.

Bottom line, attention =/= earnest interest.
