I thought the blogger did an excellent and insightful job ... I've bookmarked that blog. I don't know if I agree with all the points, but the points caused thought and the points were not written as "reactionary" ... very well done.

On a second point, are you saying that you cannot be a Darwinist and a Christian at the same time? Just Curious.

The question on the table is whether or not Anders was properly classified as a "Christian Fundamentalist".

The answer is, of course, NO!

That was the claim the Leftwingtards were making.

Historically in the United States the "Christian Fundamentalists" are a relatively small group who engage in a literalist interpetation of the Bible. They became famous during the period of the Scopes Monkey Trial.

Elsewhere the term "fundamentalist" is used quite differently. The Pope, for example, might be thought of as a Christian Fundamentalist in China, India, Russia, etc., but NOT in America.

Or, we can ignore the Monkey Trial church people and take back the term "fundamentalist" and once again, voila, as if by magic, the Pope can once again be a "fundamentalist Christian" in America!

I think you missed the subtlety of my comment ~ the relationship to Darwinism is that in America you would not expect a classical "Christian Fundamentalist" to also be a "Darwinist" because the two terms are historically considered antipodal to each other.

It's like the problem some of our American Leftwingtards have about the idea that in Scandinavia you can have Leftwingtard Nazis ~ which presents no problem whatsoever to Scandinavians!

There, since they live in MONARCHIES they identify "the Right" with the traditional Royalists. The Nazis are not Royalists so they don't fit on "the Right".

Instead, the Nazis fit in quite well with the other Socialists ~ but, the problem here is that the term "Socialist" is not necessarily understood the way WE in America understand the word.

Liberal also means different things ~ sometimes as many as a dozen different things,

In general in Europe a political party with the word "Christian" in it means it has a lot of "Catholic supporters". In America, no parties are ever called "Christian".

If you throw Latin America into the mix in trying to figure out what fits where, the merger of the Far Left with the Nazis has been an enormous problem all over Latin America since they first became aware of the terms. Most of their politicians are also easily bought with bribes, which more or less renders all the standard terms we use MEANINGLESS.
