garoteChristian Fundamentalists: Our guilt is our burden. We rage against our physiology and pray for relief. We wish the whole world would just end already. But suicide would send us to hell...
Muslim Fundamentalists: God is everything to us. But his rules are strict. We relieve our frustration with this by mercilessly punishing anyone who breaks the rules. Even our best friends and children. For their sake ... Of course.
Mormon Fundamentalists: Sin and depravity are just a breath away, but our suburbs are pure and righteous. Your arranged marriage is the best you could hope for. We love you, we ALL love you. Loving you means we will disown you utterly if you become too different. The desert outside is harsh.
Anything I missed?
