Yes, I see. Anyone who takes their religion seriously, whatever religion it is, and isn't "tolerant" of other peoples' "lifestyles" and choices is a fundamentalist. It has become a bad name to throw around, like "fascist."
I was referring more to the classical definition of the word to describe a type of Christian who attempts to go back to the "fundamentals" of the faith.

Theo is a masculine word and as such CANNOT refer to Mary no matter how hard you make it try to fit. Repeat, the THEO is not translatable as goddess, only as god. Therefore, the flight of fancy (unsupported by any Greek scholar anywhere) in regards to the theological term "theotokos" is simply that, a flight of fancy. The primary meaning of the word is childbearing and it is only when used metaphorically that it means "interest." If you want to assert that Jesus is a "metaphorical" god, that would be an interesting new tack and course of study. The term is only used in reference to Mary and Jesus, Mary being the "tokos" and Jesus being the "theos." And I'm sure this will do a lot of good, but HERE'S A LINK. If you would like to argue that "mother of God" does not appear in the Bible, that is a completely legitimate argument and one that finds a certain resonance with me. However, do not twist a word or language or the theory of languages in general to try to make your point. Over and out.
