In what way is this fundie? The story is a story about a tragic mental illness case, not a religious fundie talking bollocks.
Not fundie.

Not fundie, but definitely over-reacting.
I hope he gets life.

Good thing he wasn't an atheist. Without any christian morals, he would have really gone berzerk.

Fundie because of the whole virgin hangup?
Unless this is an unusual form of senile dementia, I can't see how anyone could stay married to this type of person for 46 years. I mean, this probably was not his only egomaniacal quirk.

@ Mister Spak: That was really quite excellent.
I can see it as fundie because of all the Cult of Virginity crap I grew up with as a teenager. If a boy keeps being told he "deserves" a virgin bride, should hold out for that, should be a virgin himself, etc...well, no surprise if he grows into a man who takes news like this very, very badly.
I really hope we don't end up with more cases like this years down the line.

Wow. This is just sad.
Not sure this is a case of fundie, but it's plenty screwed up just the same.

Not fundie, since the guy was mentally ill. It sounds like he had paranoid schizophrenia.

A bizarre preoccupation with biology, virginity, and purity is much more associated with fundamentalists than any other group of people.

OK people this is not a 'fundy' issue. This is a very tragic situation of a man who obviously had serious mental health problems. I don't think this is one for jokes...

He obviously hadn't read his Bible. If she lied about her virginity, he was supposed to take her to her father's door and stone her to death.

So he *is* a fundie! Only fundies don't read the bible.

Nah, we're really soft on offenders here in the UK, we don't generally jail corpses.

Perhaps not fundie in this case, but the topic has been very much in the news of late, particularly in France.
This is why "re-hymenization" is a popular surgical procedure among cultures that put an over-emphasis on virginity for the bride.
Funny how that never seems to apply to the groom...

"The retired property developer repeatedly stabbed her with a kitchen knife and clubbed her with a rubber-headed mallet at their gated bungalow."
Is this the Shining?

Oh my fucking hell. And people say women aren't viewed as property anymore. I see this attitude a lot in advice columns - okay, so few of them go to this extreme, but it's still there - usually from guys whining about their girlfriend/spouse's "sexual history" and how they feel jealous or inadequate. As if anything but an "pure" pussy is dangerous.
How on earth do these attitudes propagate? Are they contagious? How many of them will be sympathising with the murdering husband?

"he said there were "three people" in the marriage"
I don't think the voices in your head count as a third person.

Not fundie, there is no mention of religion of any kind in this.

Difficult to imagine this behavior motivated without some kind of religious based thinking - at least, I have yet to meet anyone who thinks that virginity is so important that isn't religious. But I admit, there is no quote from him to really verify this. This isn't 'Fundies DO The Darndest things'.
