11. Do fundamentalists ask themselves the quesetion, "What if the liberals are
right and we are wrong?"

Not very often, I dare say.

Back in the 1980s, when I was with a church-related peace group, we had the same discussion about the pro-war types, especially the Pat Robertson types whose attitude toward nuclear annihilation was "Bring it on!"

We came to the conclusion that the fact that we can doubt shows that we actually believe in using our God-given brains to assess a situation.
