These stories illustrate the problem at the heart of Christian fundamentalism – such Christians cannot quite bring themselves to affirm, believe, subscribe to and practice everything that the Bible demands. And so they find ways of affirming the perfection and total truthfulness of the Bible while selectively avoiding those bits that cause them too much consternation. Which bits those happen to be differ from individual to individual and church to church, but the same sort of paradoxical contradiction is always there at the heart of Christian fundamentalism.
