What I said to Ray Gustafson
Ray: You're free to offer your side of the stories. In fact, the offer was made at the start a year ago. In the absence of a response, your legal and practical rights in the matter are limited to the right to attempt a plea bargain after your next drug arrest.
What I said to John and Marie Gustafson
John and Marie: You have little right to say anything further about any of this. You need to bow your heads and pray to a Savior who'd have nothing to do with you if He did exist. You're significant to this world only because you're significant to one good man.
John, shut up and reflect. Marie, you're useless and self-centered to a remarkable degree; there's really nothing else to be said to you.
The context here is that John Gustafson had asked me to comment. I did so politely. To repay civility he chose to denigrate. This is what Fundies do.
I'm not fond of Fundies. Fundie culture not only tolerates but delights in bullying, child abuse, wife beating, lies, and hatred of the different.
In short, Fundies are defined by the fact that they defecate on Christ every day of their lives. He isn't fond of them Himself. It's a colorful irony.
Exaggeration? I was sent, myself, to Fundie wife-beating classes as a boy. The school still existed as of 2020. The head of the organization was known for sitting with his penis out and erect when female students were called into his office.
The reaction of Fundies to reports of this behavior was, of course, “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil”. Ah, Fundies.
Yes, I know people who self-identify as Fundies and are far less colorful. I value some of them. The generalization is accurate regardless.
