The problem with fundamentalists insisting on a literal interpretation of the Bible is that the meaning of words change. A prime example is 'Spare the rod, spoil the child'. A rod was a stick used by shepherds to guide their sheep to go in the desired direction. Shepherds did not use it to beat their sheep. The proper translation of the saying is 'Give your child guidance, or they will go astray.' It does not mean 'Beat the shit out of your child or he will become rotten', as many fundamentalist parents seem to believe.

Religious fundamentalists prefer to advocate the teaching of abstinence instead of the teaching of safe sex.

Every year, during the fasting, heated confrontations and arrests take place across the Kabyle country. Where everyone who frees themselves from the religious practice faces repression by the government, which relays the fundamentalists' demands in order to buy their peace.
