Toddler sings "Aint no homo gonna make it to heaven." Church crowd cheers

[Ziploc Surprise]

According to Christian fundamentalist (and some not quite so fundamentalist) doctrine gays are supposed to go to hell *note that I don't agree with this doctrine please*. As for the state/parenting problem we're already neck deep in that shit.

This is an issue that really bugs me with debating religion these days. Fundies, naturally, say their perspective on Christianity is the correct one. This is annoying, but to be expected. But a lot of anti-religious folks of all types seem to sign up to their essentialist view of Christianity, as being the "one true" type of Christianity. This is totally illogical. If Christianity is false, then why do you attempt to define what it "essentially" is, and if you must, why do you define it as a virulent strain of biblical literalism that originated in America in the later 19th century?

OK I know this isn't exactly what you said, but this is something that happens quite a lot around here. I even saw, on this site, an atheist giving a Christian reps for "At least having to balls to stand up for your beliefs unlike the pussy liberal so-called "Christians". I mean, what in the hell kind of attitude is that to have for someone who claims to be the champion of free thought?

Fundamentalists believe that the Bible is literally the very words of (the Christian) god, it's inerrant, and it should be interpreted literally. There are other flavors that are not fundamentalist or not quite so fundamentalist and some that aren't fundamentalist at all. I was referring to Christian fundamentalist doctrine.
