Why would one require a 'link' to a tenet which

*every* \ufffdfundamentalist Christian\ufffd would quote, at some point in every proselytization, verbatim ?

{Sheesh Beep} - ya think he's makin this stuff up.. izzat it? or is this just more Nineties-on-automatic,

If it doesn't fit
You mustn't convict
If it doesn't link
It's in the sink

\ufffd fundmentalist: "every word in the Bible is The. Literal. Truth."
as in, cha. cha. cha.
'literal' as in, "I never heered of a simile, metaphor or allegory".
