WTF? Do I have to be the one to point out it's "Make Deaux"?

I've submitted Buddhist fundies, and they just didnt make it through. I don't know exactly who's voting, but some seem to think we are the anti-RR or something. Seems that's were 90% of our posts come from. I'll go submit some Buddhist ones, I'll even try and find atheist ones. But you know we're going to hear the OMG THIS ISN'T FUNDIE. I believe a lot of people who come to this site just hate Christianity for whatever reason. Edit: Screw it, I got 3 or 4, but damn Buddhist can say a lot about absolutely nothing. Can you please post the links to the those quotes?

Yeah, we should get some Scientology fundies up in this joint. You could probably find some goldmines in pagan sites as well, particularly from the white-supremacist pagans (they worship the Norse gods because they see Christianity as an evil Jewish invention). The Nation of Islam is pretty WTF as well.

According to "Common Errors in English Usage," it is in fact make doMarc Would it happen to have an explanation for this? It doesn't, but here's mine: When you use the phrase "make do", you are adding the implied phrase "with what I have." If I am making something "due," then I am saying that it's owed. If a library book is due today, then that means you owe the library their book back today. If I am due my paycheck, then it is owed me. If, for example, I don't have enough cash to buy a pack of cigarettes (an apt analogy for me today), I might say that I'll just have to make do. Adding the implied phrase, "with what I have" means that: 1) I can extend the time between smoke breaks to make whatever cigarettes I have left last until I can get cash to buy more. 2) Buy/bum a few cigarettes off of a friend. etc. In otherwords, I will do the best I can with what I have. Does that make sense? Marc

The Nation of Islam is pretty WTF as well. We have some of these nutcases in Norway. Thing is, I'll have to translate their writings. Maybe you would be interested in the ramblings of Varg Vikernes (Burzum)?

I can get fundie quotes from other languages on the internet as well, but since non-English quotes will inevitably be more difficult to verify, one must ask: what should be the policy regarding translations?
