The Dangerous Dinner
China Cat Sunflower said:Religious fundamentalism is dangerous, Salty. That's the truth. Look what's happened here in the U.S. over the course of the last several years. I'm not inclined to give the fundies a break. No kiss and make up from me.

The original poster was talking about "Christian fundamentalism." The article he refered to seemed to describe all of Christianity as "fundamentalist," even the liberal forms of Christianity.
What I was wondering was whether this "truth" was about "Christian fundamentalism" or Christianity as a whole? Was the agenda to say that Christianity as a whole was "fundamentalist" in nature or was it simply isolating "fundamentalist Christianity" for criticism?
Obviously the original poster may or may not share these views. He may just have been passing it on. He may not even know the difference between Christianity in general and fundamentalist Christianity!!! He may be either a "new comer" or "new skeptic" to Christianity.
What I was saying was that the original poster didn't clearly identify his own subject of criticism, he simply referred to an article that talked about fundamentalist Christianity. He didn't clearly state whether he personally perceived Christianity as "fundamentalist" in nature.
I already know "fundamentalism" is dangerous, I just wanted to know what the original poster believes to be "the truth" about Christianity. He didn't exactly make that clear in his post. I don't know what to think!!!
