Meet samurai_sarah
German-born, based in the UK. I accidentally migrated to the UK to attend university, and found the British Library. So, I decided to call it “homeâ€, and stayed. Books are my catnip, especially when they deal with history, but I’ll read anything. Unlike Lori Alexander, I actually do love learning; and the implicit idea that knowledge might be dangerous, baffles me.
I came to reading Christian fundamentalist blogs after stumbling across the word “quiverfull†in a newspaper article. Google led me down the rabbit-hole of fundie blogs. My background is one of liberal Catholicism, in Germany, where the mainstream Christian Protestants seem the real liberal ones. I had never heard of Christian fundies, and was hooked. Holy rose-coloured spectacles, had these people never cracked open a history book? Also, why do some people resist spell-check?
After the occasional mention of "Free Jinger", I googled that and realized that I’m not alone with my questions and bemusement. And my continuous amazement, about how little fundies seem to know about actual history. So, with that in mind, I’m going to mostly focus on history. Because fundies don’t seem to get that the past isn’t some magical la-la-land of Victorian ladies in white summer-dresses, and independently wealthy gentlemen. If you have an issue you’d like me looking into, let me know. I don’t pretend to know everything, but I love learning about new things, and keeping that pitchfork of knowledge polished.
