"Would you like to discuss the issues? Where shall we start? The gnostic gospels? The Council of Nicea? The Crusades? Torquemada? Tetzel, Luther, and the Protestant Reformation? Justification by faith. Once saved, always saved? ID v. evolution? Speaking in tongues?"

Let's make it real simple for you;

Define "Christian Fundamentalism."

Christian fundamentalism is based on the following five fundamentals:

1. The Bible is factually and literally accurate.
2. Jesus was born of a virgin and is the son of God.
3. Atonement for sins is through God's grace (made possible by Jesus' death on the cross).
4. Jesus was resurrected.
5a. Jesus performed real miracles, or
5b. Jesus is coming again (many believed it would occur before the end of the second millenium).

There is a wide variety of secondary issues that distinguish fundamentalist churches from each other. The MSM incorrectly lumps in evangelicals and Pentecostals with fundamentalists. This is inaccurate. Although there are overlapping beliefs, Pentecostals and evangelicals are not fundamentalists.

I'm through with you. If you want an education, read books on the subject.

Fundamentals are entertaining learning games designed to help memorize concepts of learning.
