Dogma and spiritual fervor.

It's strange how fundamentalist beliefs like this form isn't it? People like to hold on to their certainty about a world view. So every world of he Bible must be true. EVERY WORD. Over the years the dogma just piles up. One piece of dogma is there to explain another and so on and so on. Then when people take these irrational ideas to their logical conclusions (the irony!) you end up with things that contradict themselves or you have ideas about morality that are just reprehensible.

All men are born into sin
which means everyone is destined for hell
but god is eternally merciful
so he sends his son to be punished in your place
so all you have to do is accept him and you'll go to heaven!
but if you're already born into sin anyway...
then what's the point in trying to be good?
you can rape your daughter and accept him later...
and everything turns out all the same!
