Oh I am well aware of the bible thumpers, lived amongst them all my life as I have lived in 3 Southern states over my almost 50 years on this earth. Well, well, well, aware of them. To be honest, have a few of the more reasonable ones as friends. Had dinner Saturday night with a strong Calvinist who just got back from Knoxville TENN from some Presbyterian Convention. Now, I would not put him as a Bible Thumper in the sense of the independent fundamentalist Pentecostal or Baptist types, just a solid Reformed guy who I have some friendly theological differences with. So I don’t lump all protestants into the anti intellectual bible thumper type theological groups.
As I posted in #66, I really enjoy religious discussions but rarely get a chance to engage since the anti-Catholics show up and turn it into an HTML scripture posting frenzy about how their brand of Christianity is better than everybody else’s. Perhaps we need a Reasonable Religious Discussion Caucus?
