No! You tried to dismiss me with a ridiculous proposition aimed right in my face, not over my head. You aim was bad, however. So, now I’ll turn the other cheek while you reload!!! (grin)

Huh?

Better check your headgear and flush it out, I never said anything disparaging to you, ever.

Maybe you are just too sensitive when online

Since you are either too young to know any better, or just (insert disparaging adjective here) to know better, I’ll explain the obvious:

The term Fundamentalist came from those series of books that were written. It was originally an insult by those who rejected those volumes, but was gladly received by those who knew those volumes correctly descried what the Bible taught.

For you to lose that thought, or to never have it, is just a sign of the times, I guess. Because until that term was created to describe Bible believing Christian Protestants and Baptists, that term did not exist.

That means the term is entirely restricted by it’s original definition to mean only Fundamentalist Christians, and excludes Roman Catholics, Liberal Christian denominations and any other religion, period.

The term was used once again starting around the 1960’s or 70’s to be applied to Muslims or psychos because of the lack of knowlege of the person who wielded the word and they had no ther means to describe the intensity of belief of the persons or group they were describing.

The word Fundamentalist does NOT apply to any religion other than Christianity, and it does not include psychos who bomb abortion clinics or multiple wives or (insert disparaging comment here). To do so is to totally misunderstand the term and it’s origin and meaning. And if you think FR is Fundamentalist, then you dont know much about Fundamentalism. Go to the link and start reading the book. You’ll learn something.
