    Actually after reading several of your posts (wanting everyone to feel sorry for the jews), I am 200% sure that you are jew.
    At least, be proud of who you are.

    That was uncalled for, Sure the Muslim community has gotten bad publicity but i have muslim mates and they are pretty peaceful. Basing a mojority from a minority makes you the same as the Media

    Your ignorance and intolerance are making you confuse fundamentalism with religion.

    Fundamentalism is religion in it's truest sense.

    Anything other than fundamentalism is a weak bastardization of fundamentalism and is not true to the original religion.

    Millions of Christians worldwide - including the Pope - would disagree with you on that.

    So what is the true original Christian religion?

    Catholic?
    Protestant?
    Evangelical?
    Russian Orthodox?
    Presbyterianism?
    Pentecostal?
    Mormons?
    Anabaptist?
    7th Sunday Adventist?
    Lutheranism?
    Quakers?
    Baptists?
    Methodists?

    I really don't care who disagrees with me. I'm concerned with being correct, not with being popular.

    Fundamentalism (in this context) means "strict adherence to any set of basic ideas or principles."

    If you aren't strictly adhering to the basic ideas and principles of a religion, you are making up your own religion. You can't be a Muslim if you deny the teachings of Muhammad. You can't be a Buddhist if you deny the teachings of Budda.

    This is true even if you deny just some of those teachings. Religion isn't about reason or logic or common sense, it is about mans obedience to God.

    Yes, I agree to a certain extent - but it lies on the interpretation of those teachings. Anglicans claim many of the stories in the Bible, such as Noah's Ark, were allegorical, not fact. Is this making up your own religion? It does not dampen their faith in God. They would claim His message is still being heard; that Timothy tells us all scripture is inspired by God. Likewise, Mormons claim that references to God's finger, hands, breath, and even bowels in the Old Testament prove that God has a corporeal form, which the Nicean Creed evangelicals, Catholics, protestants sects reject - they interpret references to God's body parts as analogies to communicate God to humans. Who is right here? Depends on your sect. But they would all claim to believe in the same God.

    Since you seem to have a direct line to the Big Man, I wonder if you could tell me - what is the true original Christian religion?

    Catholic?
    Protestant?
    Evangelical?
    Russian Orthodox?
    Presbyterianism?
    Pentecostal?
    Mormons?
    Anabaptist?
    7th Sunday Adventist?
    Lutheranism?
    Quakers?
    Baptists?
    Methodists?

    I think you will find even the apostles Peter and Paul had a few fights over religion ("I withstood Peter to his face"). True Christianity is anyone who follows God's will as he reveals it to them. Starting with reading the Bible is a good step and praying. I personally think Heaven will be full of lots of people of different faiths who had the willingness to do as God instructed them. The Bible says God winks at our ignorance - you won't be going to hell because your uneducated - in the end it will be because it is YOUR choice. If you want a Universe without God - that is exactually what you will get - its your choice and you will find out without God you will cease to exist, without God there can be no life. I.E. either way the evolutionist will get it the way he wants - if he evolved in a Godless universe and is right then on his death thats it - if he's wrong he will still get what he believed in and wanted his entire life - a Godless universe and thus either way his existence will come to an end.

    The problem is that many religious sects and cults that claim to be "Fundamentalists" practice strict adherence only to a specific subset of the religion's holy books, only read those verses, and view every word out of those phrases as being 100% literal. Some "fundamentalist" versions of Christianity put the old testament above the new testament. They concern themselves with not putting pork in their mouths before they worry about monitoring what comes out of their mouths.

    You're barking up the wrong tree here; I'm not a Christian.
