Leaving Eden Podcast 5 ultra-specific rules of Christian Fundamentalism that make no sense
Sadie takes us through the five categories of Crazy Fundie Rules, and how these rules affect your life when you are trying to live by them. Some of them have biblical justifications, some of them are completely made up by some pastor somewhere and ended up being widely adopted. Fundie pastors use these rules as a way to physically and psychologically control church members, and they can be quite draconian.
What are the most arbitrary rules that your church had growing up? Let us know in the comments!
