| | Fundamentalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fundamentalists claim both that they practice their religion as the first adherents did and that this is how religion should be practiced. | | | Fundamentalists justify this belief on the idea that the founders of the world's religions said and did things that were not written down; in other words, their original disciples knew things that we don't. | | | For religious fundamentalists, sacred scripture is considered the authentic word of God. |

| | Christian Fundamentalism Exposed |
| | With some differences among themselves, fundamentalists insist on belief in the inerrancy of the Bible, the virgin birth and divinity of Jesus Christ, the vicarious and atoning character of his death, his bodily resurrection, and his second coming as the irreducible minimum of authentic Christianity. | | | The rise of modern Premillennialism (end-times theology) is common to a variety of religious splinter groups: the Plymouth Brethren (developed Dispensationalism), the Millerites (became the Adventists), Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Pentecostals. | | | This is not to question Jesus or the Bible. |

| | Religious Movements Homepage: Fundamentalism |
| | The Bible is the sacred text of the Christian Fundamentalists. | | | Further, Fundamentalists see themselves as the guardians of the truth, usually to the exclusion of others' interpretation of the Bible. | | | Indeed, if there is one single thing which binds Fundamentalists together, it is their insistence that the Bible is to be understood as literally true. |

| | How Would Jesus Vote? |
| | But the fundamentalists also believe that the recorded words of Jesus in the Gospels are the words of God Himself. | | | Fundamentalists are most comfortable with a Manichean world view – a concept of the world as a battleground between unalloyed good (us) and evil (them). | | | What fundamentalist Christian would deny that Jesus said, and meant, “Blessed are the Peacemakers?” If they believe this, then if they would "do what Jesus would do," they must come to terms with its full implications. |

| | "Separating Religious Fundamentalist 'Science' from Science" by Tim M. Berra, Ph.D. |
| | The arguments of the religious fundamentalists are not only anti-biology but also anti-physics, anti-astronomy, and anti-geology. | | | The only Christian religious groups that have problems with evolution are the Protestant fundamentalists, who insist on a literal interpretation of the Bible, much as Muslim fundamentalists insist on a literal interpretation of the Koran. | | | Regardless of what they call themselves, the goal of the religious fundamentalist is to have the biblical version of creation taught alongside evolution; and to disguise the essentially religious nature of creationism, they have dressed it up in scientific terminology. |

(For my Call to Arms against worldwide Fundamentalism, visit that link.) | | | Neopaganism combines a revival of old deities that the Fundamentalists have been taught from childhood were demonic, with patterns of belief and practice that fit perfectly with the new global culture now emerging. |

| | Repeated attempts since the 1920s by Christian fundamentalists in the US to ban the teaching of evolution in public schools, or at least mandate teaching the biblical account of creation as well, have been defeated in court on the grounds that teaching religion in a state-funded school violates the separation of church and state. | | | The ruling is a victory for the religious right, which wants the biblical story of creation taught in schools instead of evolution. | | | Some 82 per cent of private schools in Cleveland are religious, the majority Catholic, the rest Islamic or Christian fundamentalist. |
