Chris:  Correct you are Chris.  I was speaking of fundamentalism within a broad group called evangelicalism.  I place you outside this group.  The fundamentalists I was referring to are DavidM, Izzy, Judy and Terry.

Izzy:  I made my main point against fundamentalism in my post: the hardness, rigidity of their beliefs that is usually connected to anger and fear.  Grace seems to be absent except as a catch-word.  Fundamentalism is appealing due to its stranglehold on certainty.  It allows sincere people to say that they are right, to damn others that are not in this right, and even to use force if necessary to do this.

 

Anyways, I am off for the weekend.  Be safe everyone.

Here I was all excited that Chris had defended me   -- come to find out I am not a fundamentalist.   What is such a thing, anyway.   And what is the differenc between a fundamentalist and a plain ole mentalist?
