61. So we have to look to
History to condemn Christians today?
What other groups do you hold responsible for the sins of their fathers?

67. I didn't condemn christians, I condemn christianity.
If you're out in the world doing all that you can to help others, then good for you, and thank you.
Your church still thinks women are inferior and has ignored most of what your "savior" told them to do.

57. Fundamentalists are the problem. Those who not only believe they should
believe, act, do as they do, but believe they are right in forcing others to do the same. Including harming and/or killing those who don't. A real liberal does not believe in harming others, but so long as someone's belief doesn't, it doesn't matter. Which is counter to the Fundamentalist way of life.
"The only unprotected group in America are Christians"? What the hell? No, change it to Fundamentalists and you'd be more correct, but even they have protections. Do you seriously believe "The only unprotected group in America are Christians"?

65. who decides what a fundamentalist or extremist is?
There are people who would say Christians who believe Jesus rose from the dead are extremists. So they could easily lump them in with people who fit your narrower definition.
You're doing what Hannity does by saying "Islamic terrorists". Sure he says only Islamic people who happen be terrorists should be offended but what it really does is link Islam to terrorism.

123. ANY group that thinks their way is the only right way...particularly, but not limited to,
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 05:54 PM by BrklynLiberal
those that involve heaven and/orsalvation...is an extremist group. Their beliefs usually involve STRICT adherence to THEIR rules, and extreme punishment for those that do not adhere to them.
Virtually all extremist groups can also fall under the description of Fundamentalist, since few of them would be considered Progressive.
Maybe I've forgotten...which group is it that is filing lawsuits to force long-standing laws to change? To force their beliefs on the entire country? To punish any who
speak out against their beliefs for Hate Crimes?
Which group is it that lumps all practicing, evangelical Christians under the label "fundy?" Which group is it that coined the phrase "Rapture Cultist," as though that conservative Christian belief is somehow extreme? Which group seriously thinks that believing God created the world is MORE extreme than believing that life created itself in a mud puddle billions of years ago...and then invented RNA, DNA, cell specialization, asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction, all with NO supernatural assistance?
So, Lanie, do you think libs are bigots yet?
