"the great allure of fundamentalism for its followers is that by simply believing the right things, they get to go to heaven. But the allure for its leaders is even greater.

It’s an intoxicating fruit to be sure.

Which is why despite its intellectual shortcomings, it should really come as no surprise that so many continue to embrace fundamentalism despite its plummeting reputation.
