18. The Fundies are bonkers on the whole sexual sin thing
Until the 1930 Lambeth Conference (gathering of Anglican and Episcopalian Bishops) pretty much every Christian body prohibited contraception - yet pretty much every Evangelical now supports it's use (within marriage, of course).

The Church has always considered adultery to be worse than fornication, the Gospels put serial marriage on a par with adultery; how many now accept re-marriage?

Read mediaeval thinkers on usury, it was rejected utterly. How many fundies earn interest on their savings accounts.

Many in the primitive church rejected soldiers from their ranks; yet the Christian martial tradition is now firmly engrained.

My own view, is that many of these people just need a good lay. One night of passion, and they'll be far better.
