I was here from early on in the thread, and I saw when it turned. If you want, tomorrow I'll sift through all the threads and show you some rather innocuous posts that earned incredibly hostile replies.

And by the way, you can call me a fundamentalist if that makes you feel comfortable, but I can guarantee you that I don't fit through whatever you have in your brain as your little "fundie" template. I came into religion fairly late in the game, and there's no reason for an adult to do that unless it's out of actual belief. If that makes me a fundamentalist, well gee, I've certainly been called worse.

You either believe the Word or you don't. If you do, you also have to acknowledge that in some matters there are higher expectations for believers than for nonbelievers. This was one of those matters. You can't get around that.

"You either believe the Word or you don't."

Not true, unless you're a fundamentalist. Most Christians are not. They practice a basic faith in Christ and understand the wisdom of a forgiving God. They are all going to heaven, too, along with Jews, Muslims, and other people of good will and deed.

Some of the "emergents" are calling us "Bible heads". They meant it as an insult, but I have to tell you I like it. I like it a lot.
