Hi all. Read the entire thread so far and i find it disturbing at how there are so many fundies are in the US.
Fortunately we don't have that problem here but i've been to MS and met some fundies and they are scary people. They don't like change, none whatsoever. Alot were racist, hyprocritical and just plain bigots.
It shocked me and i doubt i'll ever be back in MS.
Serious hard-core Christian fundamentalists may "smirk" at the idea that unbelievers are 'going to Hell'.....but hard-core Muslim fanatics will actually help unbelievers to GET there...the sooner the better......
Big difference.
The thousands (tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?) of innocents killed in our Iraq misadventure may beg to differ with you there Mac. Our invasion definitely has been given a modern Crusader tinge to it by Dubya and the fundies are generally the Biggest Cheerleaders of this unfortunate episode.
Are we to assume, then, that you're FOR Sarah Palin's church, and in agreement with their beliefs...or AGAINST them? Your post doesn't make this clear.....
Then I guess raising people from the dead, fortelling the future and VODOO rituals are 'normal' to you. LOL!

I prefer to associate with normal people.
Yeah yeah yeah. You've posted this same thing 500 times on here already .
I live in the deep south "bible belt" and I haven't been to church in 20 years, nor have most of my friends. Nobody has ever said a word to me about it. The only people I see going to church around here are old people, and I think that's just because it gives them something to do. Some of you people believe what you see on TV way too much.

You were the lucky one then. It's my fiance's family if you must know.
Been there, done that, bought the T shirt. No thanks.

Yeah, and one of the first things that Bush blurts out is that we on a 'Crusade'. Either really stupid or misinformed, either shoe fits.
The Taliban is way more extreme. They stone women publicly if you can see their eyes through their burquas. Saudi Arabia (our life blood) has some nasty laws against improper conduct between men and women too..ie a man and a woman being in the same room without a member of the woman's family present.
True, but these are really only superficial differences. Aside from dress and dating rules, the treatment of women is very similar.

Oh but they do want control of the government. They don't want to deal with the economy, taxing, and providing services and infrastructure, the mundane tasks of government. BUT they would love to be able to dictate the behavior of all aspects of life in this country, from abortion, marriage, abstiance only education, etc.
