Fundemental to who exactly? Catholics? Episcopals? Baptists? SDAs?

Teaching hell itself isn't an error, but it's not how we're supposed to evangelize.
Quote:Obviously, there is something unique to Christianity here in America that makes the need for evangelizing more pressing. And based on my qualitative studies of the religion, I think it ties back to this idea of judgment, and how God somehow authorizes Christians to judge everyone by proxy. That is why I wrote this article.
Well we aren't allowed to judge others, and in fact God doesn't want us to "change" others either.

America has a lot of issues - I've discussed at length before. For instance, when can I expect to see George W Bush, Dick Cheney, Barack Obama, Robert Gates and Leon Panetta put into gaol for their crimes? Link.
