And often their grammar is appalling. Does reading the bible too much dumb them down?

It's been my observation that a whole lot of people of all types can't spell.

The second part of, or your second question must be appalling to to you as well. if i am reading it correctly, you asked "Does reading the bible too much dumb them down"?. The definition for the word too is also, so what you are asking is, does reading the bible also much dumb them down?.
I think you need to check your own grammar as well as spelling, and possibly think of word definition before you try and pick on a person or a group of people for someting you are just as guilty of. LOOK IN THE MIRROR BEFORE YOU POINT FINGERS!!!!.
The second part of your question makes absolutely no sense!.
Now who looks DUMB?
There are many reasons for bad grammar and mis-spelling of words ie; dislexia, the complexity of the english language,etc.
These are things that affect all peoples of all races, regardless of religious affiliation!

I've seen plenty of others who can't spell, and whose grammar is atrocious. What is your definition of fundamentalist Christian? EVERY Christian, or just the ones that some people view as being "radical"?
My spelling is just fine, thank you. No, I don't think reading the Bible too much decreases ANYONE'S intelligence.

I believe that is a short sighted view. Have you checked the spelling ability of the millions of christians all over the world? Probably not. If it is just an observation of the few christians you know... they might spell wrongly but when they die, they go to heaven.
do you know where you are going?

I noticed this too. I have somebody who has been stalking me on here since December and she seems to have a hard time knowing how to spell and type. I reported it to the FBI so they should be doing something about her soon. You make a great point. They should think about their education and how they can improve the world, not on how they can terrorize people who don't share their opinions. Maybe this world will get a bit better then.

There are people from every religion that can't spell properly.Are you actually saying you believe that adherents of other belief systems are perfect spellers?

It sure does. It also dumbed down Augustine, Shakespeare, Lincoln, Franklin, Madison, Washington, Newton, etc., etc.

Perhaps you should edit questions like this before you hit the "submit" button.
You forgot to capitalize "Bible".
