Religious fundamentalists are really annoying people, but I have a bit more respect for them than I do for the casual religious. The religious fundamentalist applies critical thinking skills to search for the truth, the problem is that they search for it in a fraudulent textbook. If they applied their skills properly, they'd make good scientists, probably.
Casual, revisionist religious people only want enough material to corroborate what they've already decided to be true. That's why there are a lot of people who believe that the malevolent, violent and psychopathic Christian God is a kind, loving being who cares deeply about them and their lives.
