Fundamental Victimhood

Women are not simply the sum of their parts « The Confluence: “I shudder to think about what would have happened to Ward’s patients when they went to see her about a non-marital relationship they were in. Extra marital and pre-marital sex are absolutely verboten to the evangelical Christian. There are no exceptions.”— unless you’re a GOPer like Newt or Diapers or Rudy or [add your string of unfaithful louts here].

So, it’s not morality that really “sells” the fundie. I’ll nominate a trait seen among fundies of all religions everywhere and one that fulfills that sense of belonging– victim-hood.The fundie’s sexual morality is slippery at best but their sense of victim-hood and apocalyptic paranoia never seems to waver.
