They've probably had to come up with some utterly contorted (and
incorrect at some level) definitions of theorems and axioms that are
encrusted with "Biblical" nonsense; the regular plain (and immoral)
definitions are very likely far too threatening for them.

Did you take the trouble of actually reading the book, or are these just
the baseless prejudiced comments of a Christiophobe?



So do you actually think there could possibly be a valid reason why fundies would need their own geometry?
