Why Fundies are anti-intellectual

[Black Aliss]

Intellectualism invites the constant assessment of the “correctness†of a person's belief system. That's dangerous ground for a fundamentalist Christian. When you confront them on a particular belief you are not only confronting them on an idea that they have held to more rigidly for a longer time than most other folks but you are confronting the very core of who they understand themselves to be. For them, it is on those core beliefs upon which their salvation hangs in the balance, at least in part. Questioning it doesn't just question the thought but, for them, it puts into question a lifetime of holding on tightly to that thought.

Someone posted this article on my facebook feed and I was just coming to post it here. An interesting read, I thought.

The picture that came up with the article, which you have quoted there, is what caught my attention.
