19. that does not change the fact that the vast majority of Fundamentalist Protestants do rely on

the Old Testament as an authority on numerous matters including homosexuality- albeit very selectively . Why are children in every Evangelical Sunday School Class in the world required to memorize the Ten Commandments? Why are Fundamentalist fighting to have the Ten Commandments displayed in school rooms and court houses - if they don't consider it important? Conservative or Fundamentalist Evangelical Protestant Christianity like many other schools of thought for that matter pick and choose what they wish to believe and what they wish to ignore. Everyone who has ever had any exposure to this brand of Christianity knows this. I was raised in it. Schooled in it Graduated from a fundamentalist University and worked for a Fundamentalist (CBN) affiliated radio station when that movement was in it was in its infancy. But it doesn't take that level of exposure. Everyone who has ever had any experience whatsoever with Fundamentalist Christianity are quite familiar with their way of thinking.
