I am sure Warren was not referring to the fundamentals of the faith when he made reference to fundamentalists. He was likely referring to people like Pat Robertson. If so, Warren is correct to criticize those like Robertson.

It's better to just ignore him than to take a shot at him... and miss. The collateral damage from this pot shot might come back to haunt Mr. Warren. A lot of people who number themselves among the fundamentalists have been Warren supporters.

If Warren was merely referring to modern fundamentalists, why did he refer to a document from the 1920s? By his books he is known - and his "Purpose Driven" are spiritual cotton candy, dangerous to lost folks and the church.

My reviews of his books, after very painful reading, are posted here: http://brogdensmuse.menofhonorministry.org/Apologetics.htm

Warren is world friendly "pastor". This directly contradicts several scriptural mandates (Romans 12:1-2 and Ephesians 2:1-2 for instance).

Pat robertson isn't the 'enemy' either, although in the future I can't say if he will be. It depends on where he goes from here. Dominionists are a big enemy. If Rick cant distinguish between dominionists and fundamentalists, he had again, better reconsider his position as a big name Christian teacher. It's people like Jim Wallis, who Rick Warren is starting to emulate more and more, which are the enemy.

Once again, you should probably do some research:

I am sure Warren was not referring to the fundamentals of the faith when he made reference to fundamentalists.

From his interview at pewforum.org

What does Rick Warren define Christian Fundamentalism to be?
In a May 2005 interview between Rick Warren and the Pew Forum on Religion, Warren stated:

"Today there really aren't that many Fundamentalists left; I don't know if you know that or not, but they are such a minority; there aren't that many Fundamentalists left in America ... Now the word 'fundamentalist' actually comes from a document in the 1920s called the Five Fundamentals of the Faith. And it is a very legalistic, narrow view of Christianity." Quote by Rick Warren, May 2005
