That was the 70's though and it seemed like the more fundamentalist people started forming this wierd Christian sub-culture. Anyway.
I may fall more under the literal category, though I think fundamentalism has more to do with behavior. I think the Bible should be read the way any other piece of writing should—to understand what the author is attempting to communicate. What's interesting about the Bible is that the thing many authors are attempting to communicate is often a vision or divine experience.
How do you know this?
