pejorative term describing a particular kind of religious believers who accept any statement issued by some religious authority or interpreted in a religious
text, without using critical thinking and
even common sense.
God-gobblers can be found among monotheistic fundamentalists of various religions.
They will also refuse scientific facts because they don'
t reflect their beliefs.
Ignoring scientific ethics, they could also try to formulate pseudoscientific theories to support their beliefs.
Origin: comes from God + gobbler, "one who eats food very quickly, without decorum" (figuratively).
"My kids (
teenagers) go to youth-groups at some God-gobbler church near them"
"take a look at a real history book - not
something cranked out by some evangelical god-gobbler or neocon think
tank"
