What's causing her to have clear and massive cognitive dissonance here is she is obviously hearing one tale from pastors/her religious community and actually thinking for herself to some degree. |
That's what gives me some hope, Louis. I sometimes get the impression she's standing at the border fence of Fundistan, looking out longingly at Reality Land.
On the other hand, what she's doing is also consistent with simply equivocating to avoid defending her position. "Abortion is murder, but don't punish the perpetrators" sounds a lot like "Walt Brown makes some good points, but I don't know whether there was a global flood". |
Ah yes, the famous Ftkuivocation. It's like trying to nail down smoke. And she wonders why people question her intellectual integrity and (ahem) "gifts".
I won't claim to have always had a place in Reality Land, but I've never lived in Fundistan or it's close neighbour GoshI'mSoModeratesville. I'm not the best person, therefore, to speak about the move away from a largely religious mindset. From what I've read though, FTK's "symptoms" are not atypical. Mind you, they're also not atypical for someone trying to avoid the cognitive dissonance of having their bullshit claims torn to pieces every time they put manicured creationist soccer mom* digit to keyboard.
In other words, I agree with you entirely. 'Tis a pickle and no mistake.

*I doubt this is what FTK is like, but I wanted to engage in a bit of creative hyperbole.
