This brings up the discussion of when it is better to leave the annoying
people in life alone, so as not to bring attention to there cause or
create a Martyr, versus destroying them and getting them out of your hair
forever.

I think Mankind has generally showed way too much tolerance for
unacceptable behavior and has had to spend great resources in cleaning up
messes that could have been avoided if willing to act early on.

The only possible examples that come to mind are: Hitler and Sadaam
Husein in support of the argument and obviously Jesus as a point against
it.

This "dialogue" with Fern Jeremiah (or is it Jeremiah Fern?) is
somewhat distressing. I'm inclined to think that someone with
the faith meme this far ingrained is beyond help and any
resources devoted to the discussion can be better spent elsewhere.
Does that make me as close-minded as the fundamentalist? I never
envisioned Virus to be an evangelical religion. Does the lack
of proselytizing put us at a severe disadvantage with religions
that do?
