I grew up around Southern Baptists, and Church of God types, et endless cetera. We used to shorten “Bible Thumper” to just “Thumper.”
Nota Bene! I speak as a Christian, here. There were serious Christians, serious martyrs among them, before the New Testament as we know it was entirely written down. I think of the Epistles, in particular, written to various Christian groups. Sometimes I want to slap me some ignernt Baptists.
Disclosure: I attend Anglican services run by the Anglican Mission in the Americas, run out out of Rwanda, to bring the Gospel to the slacker heathen American white folks.
