Lucy writes of the fundamentalists she knows,
<< They are obsessed with going to church and
memorizing scripture. I ask them, "What's the point in memorizing all
that stuff if you're not ever going to do something with it?" They are
aghast. To them, memorizing scripture is the holy act all by itself.
It's just too air conditioned, clean, and convenient for me. >>
I have made the same observation. I ask them if they think memorizing a road
map is the same thing as making the journey?
