Are there Bible-believing churches and churches that are not “Bible-believing?” Oh yes, in the world of the fundies, most assuredly. The fundamentalists are literalists. Every word is to be believed. The Bible, to them, citing 2 Timothy 3:16, is “God-breathed.” Theopneustos. Churches who speak of Biblical references as “parables” or “allegory?” Apostate. Yes, yes, the actual books of the Bible as decided in the various Councils were determined after Timothy, that’s SO NOT THE POINT. The Catholic Bible contains the Apocrypha, not part of what the fundies believe is Theopneustos. And don’t get me started on the Book of Mormon. Bible-believing churches is shorthand / code for “Protestant fundamentalists, we who barely tolerate the Pentecostals.”
Ah, the trickle down effect from the '70's Republican era BS explained as well, just fall thru the slats so no one can tell where the smell is coming from. The toilet cleaning bit reminded me of the $$$ cash stashed a plumber found in the wall of the bathroom of a mega church/grifter palace a few years back.
Never have I encountered someone like Mikey who is so proud and eager to display his ‘stupid’. The man is truly a condom on the Johnson of progress.

I’m going to have to see what The Sensuous Curmudgeon has to say about this. He writes about these nutty creationists. Good read. Thx.
