Gee, Peter, what do you want? I did say Opus Dei is annoying and comparable to Catholic Jehovah's Witnesses. On a grumpy day, I might call it "insidious" - but gee, give me credit at least for not liking the organization...

I've often told classes that religious fundamentalism is so widespread that even many nonbelievers view religion in fundamentalist terms, and then condemn all religion as fundamentalism. I see Shambles has done just that. Maybe that's a basic aspect of fundamentalism - the inability to see things from a perspective other than one's own. Religious thinking, in most religions, is quite abstract - and I think another aspect of fundamentalism is the inability to deal with abstraction.
