When a fundamentalist needs something to support his hatred, he will use any part of the Bible.

They're also free to ignore whatever they like: how many Southern churches support themselves with pig pickings, oyster roasts, shrimp boils and crawfish boils? The Bible is very specific on this subject: none of those things are to be eaten. But they do it with impunity, and in the House of the Lord.

Funny story: when I was in the first grade my mom sent me to Catechism, which is the Catholic version of Sunday School except it's on Wednesday. One day they told us the church was God's house and he was home all the time. So I set off looking for him, and ten minutes later they set off looking for me. By that time I'd managed to search the entire church without success, and got told God wasn't really there. The truly independent thinker has no room in his life for organized religion.
