Well, fundamentalists do say that the Bible should be taken literally, but they are rather selective about which parts they mean. On the other hand, these particular fundamentalists do seem to have a bit of sense of humor about the Bible, which is unusual. Looking at the rest of their site is a bit disturbing, though. One can't help but wish they had a similar sense of humor about the loopier stuff they advocate. After all, if they can recognize that the ways men acquired wives in the list above shouldn't be applied to today's living, why can't they recognize other parts of the Bible that should be considered allegorical rather than literal?

ReplyDeleteWhat the heck got you there?
I forgot where I came across the link. However, you're right. I didn't look closely at the rest of the site, just the link, and I only now realize how loopy a fundie site it is. Oh well, I just added a little text to the post so that folks like you don't have the same reaction.
