They say the same thing about Jesus, actually. Word for word, some fundies actually believe that's part of the symbolism of his birth, that "swaddling clothes" were what they put on dead bodies for burial, symbolizing that baby Jesus, who was said to have been wrapped in swaddling clothes, was literally born to die. The reality of course is the Greek phrase is extremely common in ancient literature, the rest of the Bible included, and just means they wrapped the baby in strips of soft cloth as was customary for newborns, no death symbolism there at all.
Far too much of Christianity is little more than a death cult.
Fundies are in a death cult.
