“ This new fundamentalism reads passages that apply to disenfranchised people with all the verbal-literalist zeal of the original fundamentalists, while ignoring huge tracts of Scripture that challenge their own lives. The consumerist in them won’t allow them to make the world of the Bible inconvenient; it is there for their own catharsis, their own redemption, and the expurgation of their little sins. ”
