my aunt's family are fundamentalist christians who live by torah law plus a bunch of their own made up Authentic Jewish Secret Biblical Law for bonus Piety Points, they belong to a whole community of people for whom vanilla prairie hyperchristianity isn't hardcore enough and it is pretty batshit. they all live in isolated rural locations, homeschool together, avoid letting their kids associate with children who aren't in the cult, good times, super healthy, I worry about them a lot.

the best part is they are of course also paranoid of being forced to live under sharia law, unaware that it is more lax than what they voluntarily do to themselves already

it's not an uncommon belief. in particular, it's mormon canon:

76 And again I say unto you, those who have been scattered by their enemies, it is my will that they should continue to importune for redress, and redemption, by the hands of those who are placed as rulers and are in authority over you—

77 According to the laws and a constitution of the people, which I have suffered to be established, and should be maintained for the brights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles;

78 That every man may act in doctrine and principle pertaining to futurity, according to the moral agency which I have given unto him, that every man may be accountable for his own sins in the day of judgment.

79 Therefore, it is not right that any man should be in bondage one to another.

80 And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.

A man in the lower-left corner of the painting is holding a copy of The Five Thousand Year Leap, an enormously popular book by a Mormon John Birch-ite that makes the case for just that, the divine inspiration of the Amerikan constitution. I recommend you check it out Caesura, it’s a bizarre and fascinating little work.

In my experience if you really want to get to American fundamentalist protestants is to tell them you're catholic.

i will never pass up an opportunity to bring up how the novel series based on the computer game DOOM is, bafflingly, a Welsh author’s saga about a Roman Catholic’s simultaneous encounter with Mormons, who survived Hell on earth because they’d prepared themselves to defend the divine United States in the last days, and Jehovah’s Witnesses, who survived it because they believed every single worldly government belonged to the Devil already

if you have a chance to write a book, you write it

#4588
it reminds me of how James Blish, who wrote good books with similar themes that everyone should read, made most of his money from licensed short-fiction prose adaptations of old Star Trek episodes. by the last couple years before he died it was probably his wife writing them under his name. squeeze the bastards for everything you can imo
