a good friend of mine's husband is an extreme fundamentalist, in that he believes in a strict adherence to the bible and that everything, for good or for bad is god's will and he will receive his award upon entering heaven
she really struggles with this because she's a real radical...a revolutionary if you will, extremely liberal take to the streets if need be kind of girl
and her husband is a very traditional, he goes to work and is the man and supports his family while his wife takes care of the kids kind of guy...he believes that because that's what the bible says
and for context's sake, they are young, poor, and black, and he doesn't think it's necessary to fight against racism or poverty or injustice because he believes that if that's what god intended then so be it...his reward for suffering will be eternal salvation, and he's one of the most bush hating cats i know
i don't know how the marriage works but it does
i have another (female) friend, extremely religious, who doesn't think that women should be in big powerful positions or anything like that...because she believes in strict adherence to the bible...and she hates george bush
:shrug:
