I'd hate to see what they think, then.

The whole thing is fascinating to me as an outside observer.

I couldn't agree with you more when we're outside looking in.

But, of course, the same literalists who are quote mining Paul to condemn homosexuality yet promote an egalitarian attitude toward women, are also likely to view The Pastorals as authentically Pauline. Despite learning otherwise in 3 years of seminary, I'm pretty sure my father rejects the pseudonymity of 1&2 Timothy and Titus.

Of course they do. By definiton, being a fundamentalist means believing stupid things to be factually true.
