I propose that skeptics should borrow the tactics of the believers, performing a sort of mental judo throw and using the weight of the believers against themselves. After all, for every yin, there is a yang; for every summer, there is a winter; and for every nut, there is a nutcracker. Sometimes what is dark leads us to light, and sometimes what is wrong can be right, and sometimes the long-winded and rambling can seem poetic. There is a time for killing and a time for healing, and a time for skepticism and a time for being credulous fucktards. As such, we must embrace what I call the Tao of Skepticism, realizing that we must reign in our passion for critical thinking and occasionally act like raging fucktards to win over the masses to our side.

An interesting idea. I sort of did that once to a Christian who was arguing with me via email - I don't recall where he got my name, maybe from some bulletin board - this was years ago.
He was telling me all about the bible and how great it was and I was just annoyed and didn't want to waste my time talking to him since it was clear he would never question his beliefs, so intsead, I used his ridiculous "reasoning" against him. Instead of telling him the bible was wrong for any rational reasons, I told him it was wrong because Allah said so and so did the Koran. I basically said everything he said to me, only I substituted "Allah" for "Jesus" and "Koran" for "Bible" - it annoyed the living hell out of him, and was quite fun for me. He eventually gave up. He also clearly took me seriously - and was very upset. Strangely, I felt no guilt whatsoever for messing with him.
