Christians Fundamentally Gone Wild

If sin exists then Christian fundamentalism is as sinful as sloth, greed or
gluttony. It's a lifestyle that promotes surrender to the temptation to
simplify the complexities of life by letting someone else do your thinking
for you. The typical fundamentalist will extol this state of mind as
surrender to God. I think they say "let go and let God" or some such thing.
Truth be told, it's simply intellectual laziness.

As society seems to lose its moral compass and crime and decadence seem
unrelenting, the fundamentalist maintains that they have a sure thing in
their relationship with Jesus. Everything may be out of control in this
world, but they speak assuredly of their salvation and their escape from
reality because they've "accepted Jesus and are guaranteed eternity with
God."
