outward appearance and mannerisms to makes it easy to identify them in the majority of cases).
So why do you think this is? Why is there a correlation between being a literalist fundy and having the general Appalachian outward packaging?
Note: I'm not referring to all theists, just the fundies among their ranks. If the shoe does NOT fit then ....

Wide unintelligible brush strokes does not a painting make.
Apologetics?
Yet another example of "superior atheistic intellect"?
Diatribe?

What are you talking about? I thought an Appalachian was a horse. And what is a fundy? Sounds like athlete's foot.

You might be surprised how many seemingly normal appearing people are fundamentalists. Just as it is difficult to tell who is an atheist. People are different.

I think you live in a small world. Do you not know that you can have a "fundamentalist" in any group? Healers, teachers, preachers, musicians, even bikers? Expand your view.

Literalism implies mental pathology, which should manifest similarly if it is the same pathology.
