If she's a fundie, not surprised about the homosexual marriage part -- MAJOR bigots.
As for the KJB - don't even get me started. That's one of the first things I point to when they try to say the bible's "God's word"; if that's so, why has it been edited??
Unfortunately, when I was younger my first experience with baptists as an entity was with a southern baptist church. They were hosting bible school and the night they had the children's awards program, they showed this stupid film based on Revelations and scared my mentally-handicapped teenage neighbor so badly she was sobbing and had to be taken outside.
The baptist preacher - wife duo I work with have no problem with evolution and are of a live-and-let-live mentality with homosexuality and such, so obviously all baptists aren't nutjobs; it's too bad southern baptists are the ones who tend to get the attention.
