Well hell---maybe I have the wrong idea here but I thought a forum was to discuss and debate issues out in the open in a way that everyone can express themselves and learn from. I try really hard to avoid name calling and to be courteous. I don't always succeed. I have tried numerous times to understand fundementalists yet it STILL all sounds like people who not only believe things as literally written and will accept no challenges. I guess that's even fine with me but when these very same people act in a manner that is contrary to thier belief they absolve them selves by using scripture from the VERY SAME BOOK. If another "strays" they feel obligated to inform the " sinner" that unless he changes his way he will not have eternal life. I know the concept of "other ways" is a sin in your viewpoint so those who believe differently have lost before they even started. I should not have challenge a belief sytem that accepts no challenges but feels free to challenge the beliefs of others. Hypocracy just gets me frustrated and I should have known this by now but I guess every now and then I feel the need to see if a fundementalist ever lightens up. If they ever even think that there might be "other ways" they lose thier identities. I do understand THAT aspect of it. thanks for the bull session
