    I'm a Pentecostal evangelical inerrantist. I post things that might make any reader take some step in my direction.
    I am also an American with knowledge of political science beyond most professionals, so I can help define the limits to what laws might be written and go our way.
    I am prepared to defend the Bible and the unique aspects of my policy.
    I certainly would not have read the religion section before I became Pentecostal or even when I considered my options for a few years.

    What exactly is an in-errantist?

    I believe that every word of the 66 books of the Protestant Bible was inspired by God and true: no lies, no errors, no contradictions.

    Why the "Protestant Bible" only?
    Did God speak to the Protestants only - and to nobody else?

    Why can't you give me an answer?

    Lindis, I did give an answer.
    You must have heard of the fundamentalists. They believe the Bible (creation 4004 bc, flood 2348 bc, etc). If you ask them one of those nitpicky questions bad people ask they'll say, "Close enough." I won't.
    Last year on Facebook, after being denied permission to teach apologetics at church, I wrote what I might have said on Facebook. It took about 5 months. At the end I had an answer for every likely argument from all 66 books of the Protestant New Testament, defending everything except one typographical error in 2 Samuel.

    OK. And are you a fundamentalist? :)
