266. No, they have not really read the book. They have glossed over it.

Their thinking shows that their eyes skip over the words like skipping stones across a pond. Once, I was a member of a church that got taken over by such a right-wing fundamentalist bunch. One Sunday, I volunteered to do the New Testament reading. It was the 25th chapter of the gospel of Matthew. I read it carefully, with good pauses at the proper places, and accurate enunciation of the words. This chapter describes how Jesus told a listening crowd that the last judgement will have a scene in which he will tell one bunch of people, "Come, my wonderful friends, to the everlasting joy I have prepared for you! Because you saved me when I was sick, and cold, and starving, and in prison!" and they will say (essentially), "What are you talking about? We never heard of you!" And he will tell them, "Oh, but you saved my suffering brothers and sisters! Do you remember helping people who were sick, or cold, or starving, or in prison? Well, in my mind, those were all my brothers and sisters! So when you saved them, as far as I am concerned, you saved me! So come on into heaven!" The right-wing parson quickly jumped to the pulpit and essentially said, "Heh! Heh! Of course that doesn't mean that unsaved (meaning "un-fundandamentalist&quot people will go to heaven!" Two weeks later, they had somebody read that same passage; she read it at top speed so you could hardly hear what she was saying, and they quickly changed the subject. I left that church soon after that. Of course, the Bible was written 2 - 5 thousand years ago, in a turbulent time and place. But there is a lot of writing in it that condemns greed, snobbery, cruelty, and narcissism.
