    And they’re from Kansas, of all places.

    The USA really does have a Christian fundamentalist problem, doesn’t it?

      Kansas is a nowhere flyover state with little influence. The whole state has a population roughly the size of a medium sized west coast city like sacramento or portland. We need to stop letting flyover state population minorities dictate politics.

      Their headquarters is in Switzerland. Their founder was a French archbishop who spent a lot of his time in Africa. What makes you think they’re from Kansas? They just have a base there.

      Totally not. Just like Afghanistan or Iran don’t have a Muslim fundamentalist problem.

      TBF a lot of the Church’s “strength” comes from its ability to borrow local customs so that locals are willing to adopt it (after you kill people that strongly oppose it), so it makes sense that in Kansas they’re fundamentalists.
