The fearful are listed among those who will be cast into the lake of fire.

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (KJV)

This is not from the Bible. Using biblical wording only adds to the deception you are engaging in. Do you enjoy deceiving others?

"Fear the fundamentalist"? LOL It's more like "Confront the fundamentalist, and shine the light on the errors of his ways. Expose evil, especially when it comes as wolves in sheep's clothing". You and your figurative 'fundamentalist' both have dirt on your hands. You're not helping; you're making matters worse.
