Um, well, they said "Messianic Jew." My understanding of the term is that it's yet another fundamentalist "Christian" sect that holds church on Saturday and does the whole "Mosaic law" thing.

And fwiw, why can't a Jew be classified as a "fundamentalist"? I think that term can be applied to ANY religious practitioner who exhibits certain traits.

To be sure, the radical Islamists are "fundamentalist Muslims."

The meaning of "fundamentalist" in relation to religion is "one who takes their holy book literally"..

As literal interpretations of the Bible would cause one to go forth and evangelize, that is what true Christian fundamentalists do.

Is that the trait you were referring to? Or are you referring to something else? What would a "fundamentalist" Jew do?

Do you consider the Catholic church to be a fundamentalist "sect"?

Check my post #115. He says he's a janitor, not a preacher. He even gives a job description.

As for this case, I have extensive professional knowledge of the legal system in Wisconsin, and that extends to the Dept. of Probation & Parole. And anyone who relies on the Christine's advisors, the Gastons, and recommends the Gaston's sui juris legal babble is out on the fringe.
