Christian fundamentalism was literally invented in the 1800s regard. There are literally more fundies now than ever before

Siri Keaton, from Blindsight. I grew up in fear, dead to my emotional experience. I used to be an odd public speaker, completely confident while simultaneously shaking in fear - I was just so disconnected from my own experience, I didn't notice the fear. I thought empathy was an elaborate hoax until sometime in my 20s. Also I'm a weirdo who likes computers and systems theory.
I have become less of a weirdo after getting into philosophy (especially phenomenology) and psychoanalysis (especially Lacanian metapsychology). It took being able to intellectualize my experience to that degree to actually come into contact with my experience.

Based bro. Leo Naphta from the magic mountain is a pretty good character in this way also. Amazing book. Mann was a pedophile though sadly.

Aeneas and The Underground Man at once

Oblomov is the only correct answer, except he actually got laid.

>>21928964
"fundamentalist" in what way?
i'm quite sure it'll be some sort of literalist extremism amd not the proper belief you so rarely see, and of which you often get only glimpses through the words of holy men.

I don't believe in freedom of religion, for one thing, if you worship another god you shouldn't be allowed in the US. Obviously this goes against the founding principles of America but I don't care. Also I think atheists should be deported too, and I think sins like adultery, abortion (murder) and usery should be crimes. It seems a little bizarre to me that Christians understand that Jerusalem was constantly punished by God for not obeying the commandments but they somehow believe America won't be punished for committing the same sins. Do these people believe God has mellowed out in the last 2000 years, and is suddenly okay with idolatry and child sacrifice?

based, especially for the sins should be crimes stuff.
although the last is impossible unless you only mean loan sharks, since modern society is based on usury banking.

do you hold to the rest of proper belief?

also i'd rec Locke's letter on tolerance as a nice read.
don't you think that the way america works that utopia would collapse?
free practice often leads to heresies and complacency; and since 'muricans don't read their Bibles, it'd derail quickly.
as it happened in Locke's days , any disagreements would also devolve into civil wars. even worse when everyone has guns.

a wholly Christian society with Bible study sounds kino still.
