Reply #52: What would fundies think if they (gasp) learned the truth?

[mwb970]

Many, many religions (such as Mithraism) have been centered on a savior deity sent by a god deity to purify mankind. There are dozens of religions with Noah-style Flood myths.

Apparently in order to be a god-fearing fully-fledged fundie, you must shut your eyes and ears to everything except church services and Fox News. You must always be on guard against acquiring new information that would threaten your carefully nurtured world view, no matter how extensive or compelling that information is. This means no college (other than Regency or ORU) and certainly no reading of any book that doesn't say "Holy Bible" right there on the front.
