Amen!....posted by someone who thinks it's ok to believe in the message of jesus. That's the important part. Why should fundamentalists put everyone through an inquisition? Loosen up and look at the bigger picture. I agree that fundamentalist are the cause of much problems. They should be humiliated for all time.

I was watching that show 'Intervention' and they profiled this 22 year old guy who was also a Meth addict, he was a fundamentalist Christian as well. It blows my mind that a religious person would get into that crap, but I probably shouldn't be surprised.I knew a lot of Fundamentalists when I was in the Navy and it seemed like everyone of them was also a Republican and didn't believe in evolution.

Just look at Ted Haggard, he's a product of Christian fundamentalism. He hates himself because he was brainwashed to feel this way. He then preaches to others as a straight, conservative family man. When in reality, he is a gay man that has had tremendous self-hatred instilled in him by the fundamentalist mega-church business he promotes. Confusion? Oh yeah.........

I think it's completely alright to bash other people's beliefs as long as you don't bash the people themselves. The Apostles themselves did it with Gentiles and Jews many times. So despite I was nominated crazy in this video I don't have a problem with you saying it.

Very good said, it is NOT worshiping God but a book! Every time a fundamentalist may choose between 2 solutions, one that follows LOVE and one that follows the book (the laws), the fundamentalist will ALWAYS follow the book!

Foxglove consumed can kill you - yet it is where digitalis comes from. Tomato plants are poisonous but we eat the fruit. Castor beans are used to make ricin poison, but we use the fibers to make paper, and a safe castor oil that is consumed and rubbed into sore muscles - plants have their poisons, we have nuclear weapons.

Smiles, at this point, I am not so very crazy about how awful weird our planet is turning out - I was hoping for a more Next Generation world instead it feels so Nazi Germany. Too much fanaticism - even I seem to reel from the desire to dethrone our national government.

Hahahaha, "Thanks a lot God", man you crack me up Largo64. Good point, I had never thought about the poisonous plants, do you suppose that was all Adam and Eve's fault too, what with the original sin and all?Thanks a lot Adam and Eve! Way to go!

Good observation on trichinosis. Genesis has God saying that ALL plant and animal species at first were for man to eat. Only later were some forbidden. And he didn't bother to relate to the people which plants were now poisonous. Thanks a lot, God.

Fundamentalists of both Christianity and Islam think they worship their god, but they actually worship their book. They are stuck with the beliefs of pre-civilized, illiterate people.
