http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalism

Quote:Fundamentalism is the demand for a strict adherence to orthodox theological doctrines, usually understood as a reaction to Modernist theology.[1] The term was originally coined by its supporters to describe five specific classic theological beliefs of Christianity, and that developed into a Christian fundamentalist movement within the Protestant community of the United States in the early part of the 20th century.

Oh shit you're actually being serious aren't you? Well fuck me twice over in the ass it's another theist playing the 'lets narrow the definition to suit my argument!' Game. What a joy!

Ok so the term 'fundamentalist' actually refers to a wide variety of behaviour and movements in given contexts beyond the term you cite above.

But for sake of argument, let me just agree with you and say that, instead of fundamentalists, let's say extremists? And let's lump all the aforementioned behaviors and stories under that term and all go home happy knowing you were wrong.

Too bad Christian fundamentalists are Protestants.

So what you're saying is that the "moderate" Christians killed 800 babies in 36 years, got it.

I guess the fundamentalists would have done it in a week? A day? Do tell.

Seeing how the word "Protestant" means "to protest" the Catholic church, I'm saying that one has nothing to do with the other.

Not to mention that Christian fundamentalism is primarily an American thing especially between 1925-1961 (the period of the article). this particular story happened in Ireland.

If were going to go all to way to Nigeria to find atrocities, I'm sure you can do better than that.

At this point I don't really need to do anything. I mean, you were flat out wrong above as demonstrated, so it's all good for me. you can keep redefining what you class as abuse but that's for your fucked up mind to deal with, not ours (I just hope you're not around children too much judging by this). So here's a picture of a seal photobombing some penguins for the lulz of everyone else. Enjoy.



If you want something stronger I've got a cow laughing at a horse stuck in a gate.

Apparently you haven't watched the video, the guy compared a girls parents (american) to the taliban. I fail to see the connection between the girls parents and Nigeria.

Two can play that game, Stalin (an atheist) has a body count three times higher than Hitler, making atheists worse than Nazis.

Actually, that makes ONE atheist worse than nazis...

My point was that comparing the a fore mentioned girls "fundamentalist Christian " parents to the Taliban was absurd.

Fidel_Castronaut (ironically another Atheist with a body count) didn't seem to think so.

It's not absurd... and you're extremely intellectually dishonest.

I'm all ears on how these people can be compared to the Taliban and not have a body count.
