It seems to me that he deliberately fails to define it, because "fundamentalist" has become such a hot-button code word for "religious jerk." Do you know anyone who defines themself as a fundamentalist? I don't. I define myself as a biblical Christian, who attends an Episcopal church because I grew up there and am comfortable with the liturgy and the music. But, if you cross-examined me in detail on my beliefs, many would describe me as "fundamentalist". To a lot of people, if you believe that the bible means what it says, you are a "fundamentalist".

It seems to me that Warren is trying to bypass that hot-button stereotype, and I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

I do. In fact I define myself as a White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant-Right-Wing-Conservative Fundamentalist-Evangelical-Christian-Jesus-Freak. And if that doesn't offend just about everyone, then I'm sorry. I tried.

I know this was not addressed to me, however, as a Fundamental Baptist, I thought I would introduce myself. If you have a spare moment, you might get a surprise if you do a quick Goggle search on Fundamental Baptist. We not only define ourselves as Fundamentalist, we put it on our sign in front of our churches. Most of the web sites will have a "Mission Statement" explaining what we believe.
