It is said by political commentators, that the 11th commandment is "thou shalt not speak ill of thy fellow republicans". It seems that there is a similar principle among fundamentalists
There is a core of fakery within fundamentalism. It seems that fundamentalists are a self-selected group of gullible folk. I'm not saying that all fundamentalists are gullible. I am suggesting that, as a group, they contain a higher proportion of gullible folk than the population as a whole. The core of fakery is exploiting those gullible folk.
The failure of many Christians to criticize this fakery makes a strong case for atheism - perhaps a stronger case than Richard Dawkins could ever make.
My advice would be to find a church less willing to condone these sorts of practices.
