I may finally get fundies. They are weak and need the government's help.

Listening to NPR the other morning on the way to work, I finally heard a coherent explanation for the evangelicals and their need for government control of books, the internet, television, etc. Like many, I've often wondered why people don't just turn off and tune out the stuff that offends their moral sensibilities.

As the preacher put it, they recognize temptation and want the government to help them avoid it by putting limits on what they can read and view. So simple, but I never really understood where they were coming from with their Taliban-like approach to government.

Am I the only one who didn't know this? They approach it from a position of moral superiority when it is really about moral weakness.
