Ordinary vs fundamentalist Christian

[Retorth]

At what point do we think that the level of belief and commitment tips over to becoming fundamentalism? Where's the line, if indeed there is one?

I've known quite a few Christians in my time ranging from people like my daughters singing teacher who is quite liberal, fully accepts evolution etc. all the way through to a friend I worked with who was a born again Christian and as nutty as they come.

But at what point does the singing teacher turn into my nutty friend?

In other words, they become sort of like extremists, right? Well, I'm not sure if that's an accurate or appropriate term to use, do correct me if I'm wrong.

I, too, have a long time friend who suddenly proclaimed one fine day, that the good things occurring in his life were 'miracles of God' and overnight became this highly enthusiastic Christian. He even tried to preach to me once or twice. I found it bizarre because he wasn't religious previously, at all.

Anyway, I reckon the line is crossed when their lives start to revolve around their religion.
