The rules of their religion are complex and rigid and must be followed. Therefore, to avoid any confusion, children of fundamentalists must be sequestered in an environment of like-minded adherents to the corresponding fundamentalist religion. Especially so in their schooling.This is where I'm still not certain but your lack of response gives me a strong suspicion
There is no pluralism. Their rules apply to everyone everywhere.You've been clear about your knowledge of God's rules and how they apply, especially in regards to sexuality
There is a distinct group of insiders and all others are outsiders. Insiders are nurtured and cared for. Outsiders are cast off and fought.We know for sure that you think Catholics and Mormons are not your equal and that you actually devote substantial parts of your live in attempting to convert Mormons to the true way.
They pine for an older age and a past when their religion was pure, as largely they no longer see it as such. Often, this time never truly existed, but they have a nostalgic view of a Utopian past and they long to acquire it.You've told us that the utopian age of early christianity up thru the first councils are the sources for your ideas about the world. Later sources, at least up thru the protestant reformation are not to be trusted, especially the Catholic Church.
