biblical literalism, fundamentalist-style
Philip Slater’s “The Great Fundamentalist Hoax” at HuffPo exposes the selective biblical literalism of the fundies, noting that their preference runs toward verses that reinforce their traditional views of social hierarchy:
It's startling, in fact, how rarely fundamentalist Christians mention the sayings of Jesus. 'Morality' to them means the sexual inhibitions of ancient Middle Eastern patriarchies. […]The Bible becomes the 'Word of God' when a bigot wants to use it to bludgeon his neighbor, and a mere archaic relic when it would be inconvenient for him to take it seriously. Fundamentalists of all persuasions--Christian, Muslim, Jewish--often manage to find some sort of backing for their hatreds in their sacred texts; for these texts were written in societies that were misogynistic, militaristic, and rigidly authoritarian--written, furthermore, by men who believed the earth was flat.
He ends his post with this passage:
There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word "Christian" has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry.
I think the term he’s looking for is “Christianist,” as Andrew Sullivan has so amply demonstrated.
