I'm trolling Amazon for Pagan children's books when I stumble on to a Fundamentalist Christian young adult series called "Forbidden Doors". It looks like stereotypical scaremongering, but I found this revealing passage on the customer reviews of the 10th and 11th books. Keep in mind that by now Our Fair Heroes are supposed to have been Battling Wickedness for quite a while:
"Wouldn't you think missionary-kids be more focused on the Bible and spreading the word, not being so forgiving like they are. They seem TOO LIBERAL. Becka seems to have too much self-esteem. She used to be real and dooubt herself. Now she's changed, it seems."
Adolescent feminine self-esteem = TOO LIBERAL?
Adolescent feminine self-esteem = not a believable Christian?
I'm speachless.

Yeah, 'cos y'know, Jesus was all about being hardassed and never, ever forgiving anyone for anything.
Only us wishy-washy immoral liberals would do something like that. And everyone knows good KKKristian girls need validation by the men around them, so of course it's unrealistic to believe that this girl would actually think well of herself on her own.
