phabulosa says: Look at these ironic things. These are not about fundamentalism, but the essence of all religions, "Belief without any reason and doubts". This is a sign of fundamental Christianity? No. It's a sign of complete ignorance and sheer unbridled nastiness in print - that's all. This was my first clipmark, but it was called "Top Ten indications that you’re over-obsessed with religion". I don't think you should have edited the end of each "sign", which makes things a bit confusing. But hopefully folks will go to the source site and actually read the ten signs. It's a good clip. Remember that all religions essentially the same. It is when some overzealous converts who in their over enthusiasm fail to see the obvious unity underlying all religions. What we need to do now is to transcend to ahigher realm of Spirituality from the narrow confines of Religion. The clipped excerpts - and the original as well - sound stupid. If this distinguished Christian fundamentalism, there would be a big Homeric laughter all over the world and heaven would be embarrassed. But what is more important, is: I can't recognize the core of Christian faith in this caricature. Thank goodness! As Puddnhead Wilson (Mark Twain) said: "Faith is believing what you know aint so." "Faith is believing what you know aint so."Not bad. But speaking of me, I believe, for example, in the potentially irenic nature of human beings - even when it is far from evident. Maybe I am thus going to create a world I'd love to live in. Maybe I am failing, but, as well, maybe I am succeeding bit by bit. Isn't this what mankind is bound to risk? Creating alternative drafts of reality, which thwart the existent one? In a nutshell: Faith is believing what you know aint so but should be. I'm a fundamentalist Christian and none of his remarks describe me. As to the atheists and agnostics knowing more about the Bible than me, I have spoken to many of them, and the ones I've met do not know more about it and in fact misquote it to fit their agenda. We are not the intolerant ones, they are. |
