re: #8 Jimmah

Fundies from all the Abrahamic religions have a lot in common. They are basically people who prefer the social attitudes of people who lived thousands of years ago to those of the modern world.

What I’m fond of saying about some of the nuttier types from my own community: “My great grandparents didn’t do this, and neither did theirs.”

It’s bullshit to say this is about the social attitudes of ‘people who lived thousands of years ago’. This is a modern development, in both Judaism and much of Islam.

All those women walking around Gaza with face veils? It was incredibly rare to see one of those up until ten years back.
