Elsie, you're probably a nice lady. But you are missing the point.

If you believe in God the Father of Christ, you believe in the same God as Yahweh and Allah. Its the same Person.

Sometimes I think Christian fundamentalists are as obtuse as their fundementalist Muslim brethren.

Elsie, you're probably a nice lady. (I'm not...)But you are missing the point. (probably...... our definition of words may be different so we are talking past one another.)

Do you know the old tale, of the blind men and the elephant? Well, humans are the same when trying to discribe 'god', God, G-d or GOD. (Did I include enough different spellings to satisfy most people? I purposely left out Jehovah, Yahweh, YHWH, Allah, Krishna......)


MY definition of 'fundamentalist' would be a person that believes that what is written in his 'holy book' is true, and tries to follow that. That will exclude the others, who may say that they are believers, too, that somehow do NOT think that many things in the book is true, and substitute their OWN ideas about how to live.
