This is exactly what I was thinking. I think EatingPie is just unfamiliar with how religious conservatives act. My father grew up in a very conservative family (I'm sure my grandmother would disown us if she knew we have been going to a church that allows women to speak in front of the congregation and even plays instrumental music!). Luckily for me, he learned the error of those ways and raised me better.
The religious conservatives are very good at word games. They have to be to justify their strange beliefs.
On the topic of the new information coming out, it seems to be even worse than the first article indicates.
