    And today’s christian fundamentalists usually have not read the Bible, or, heaven forbid, understood the key messages, but want it to force on other people against their will. Which tells a lot of how little those fundamentalists have understood the Bible.

        Exactly. And the pastor would never try to teach about the more … problematic … parts of the Bible: Incest, robbery, murder, rape, and all of it in the name of God. Heck, confront them with a real text from the book, and they assume you are showing them a faked version intended to mock them or make their believe sound bad.

      I was a fundamentalist. (Raised in it.)

      I actually read the bible and studied it. No longer a Christian.

      Funny how that works.
