This picture was taken shortly after getting kicked in the head. After getting kicked in the head, Dylan felt like crap. But he Knew why he felt like crap. He knew that while wrestling with Adam, Adam tried to arm bar him and a misplaced foot ended up in the back of D’s head.<\/p>\n

The point to this story is that even if you have a headache, knowing where that headache came from is important. It provides you with a means of fixing the headache, or even preventing the headace from recurring. Not knowing where a headache comes from is frustrating because you are powerless against it.<\/p>\n

This is the case of my headache: Religious fundamentalism. I don’t know where it comes from, or how to stop it. All I know is it makes me feel like I got kicked in the back of my head.<\/p>\n

My family tries to tell me that religious moderation is the norm, that religious fundamentalism is not a controlling force in this nation. I don’t believe that to be true. Our “President” is a fundamentalist; the large majority of christians I’ve met believe in the Bible is the literal word of a real God; most of them don’t believe in (Read: don’t understand) evolution. Now if you live in LA, you are most likely not going to experience the Fundy mentality. To see the things that I think of when I picture the christian average, you have to go to the south and the midwest. It’s there that you will see things like THIS<\/a>… which are increasing. Fundamentalism as a whole is increasing in the world.<\/p>\n

But even in LA you’ll see that the Fundy BS reach exists. The rural areas of Ca harbor many fundies. I was sent a letter by my Uncle about the ACLU war on Xmas. Someone Please send me some evidence of the ACLU war on Xmas. What I see is a religious attack on secular thought via a made up war on Xmas blamed on the secular. So someone please, show me the light.<\/p>\n

Despite what many would say are Puritanical roots, the truth is our forefathers were Deists<\/a>. That is to say, Christian in many senses of the word, but far more secular, and by No means fundamentalist. In the mid-1950s, a fundamentalist mindset can be evidenced by the “In God We Trust”<\/a> emblazoning our currency. Since then the problem has increased. In 1964 they even had a cartoon about it<\/a>. See any similarities?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
