re: #20 doppelganglander

Good point. Mainly, though, fundamentalists can’t stand anything that might possibly conflict with a literal reading of the Bible. I’ve noticed that the literalists are very literal about everything else, too. They don’t catch sarcasm or subtlety, and they basically have no sense of humor because their minds can’t process anything with two meanings.

That is not quite true, my friend. There is much *literal* teaching in the Bible that they choose to skip over. Why they have latched on to this particular issue to politicize is beyond me, especially when it is beyond the grasp of most Christians, again, by choice.
