Understanding the Mentality and World View of the Christian Fundamentalist

[guno]

The motivations behind christian fundamentalism and the literal fear that drives them

Basically, the Evangelical Christian has two powerful things controlling his/her mind and emotions – the fear of eternal punishment in hell and the reward of eternal paradise in heaven. Those are essentially the two most powerful things that can control someone’s mind, period. They are the ultimate brainwashing tools ever designed. No question about it. Now keep in mind that heaven and hell are not some abstract concept or theory to them. No, they are absolute LITERAL FACTUAL truths! No less true than the fact that falling off a cliff is harmful or the fact that your body needs food and water to live. Therefore, they take them VERY seriously indeed. It’s no joke to them at all, especially when the eternal destiny of the soul is at stake. And that’s why they are so adamant that you become saved too, because in their minds, it is like watching you driving toward the edge of a cliff, and since they care about you, they want to warn you of the reality of the situation. That’s what it boils down to. It’s not about disrespect for your rights, freedom, or choices. It’s really about their 1) genuine concern for the eternal judgment of your soul, and their 2) sense of duty to God, after being given eternal life and being saved, to do his will to preach God’s message of Salvation to you, which is the least they could do for being given immortality.


Now think of the implications of this. Remember that this is all literal factual truth to them. Here’s what that means to someone who genuinely believes these things. It means that these are ETERNAL consequences in their minds. What that means technically is that an eternal heaven means a bliss and paradise for them that is never-ending without end, where billions of years or trillions of years have no measurement at all. After all, that’s what infinity means. On the other hand, an eternal hell also means a state of suffering and pain forever and ever. This means that even if one was suffering, tormented, and in extreme pain in hell for a billion years or a trillion years, it would still not stop because eternity means that time does not exist. It would go on and on and on. It NEVER ends, EVER! Think of that for a moment, not as some abstract theory that’s “out there” but as a literal fact that could ACTUALLY happen to you! If you seriously see that as a realistic possibility, you can understand why it is a VERY VERY VERY SCARY concept indeed!

All of the above begs the question, if they truly believe in Hell if they sin then why do they behave in sinful ways towards their fellow man?

Take their lies about gays for example. They have every right to not condone gays but they are sinning when lie about it being a "choice".

And no, I don't expect the OP to know the answer to that question because the fundamentalists don't know the answer themselves.

They don't even understand that they are sinning.

The cognitive dissonance necessary to be a Christian fundamentalist short circuits rational thought. Instead they emote because that is what a fear based religion is all about.

Spending your life in a state of fear is no way to live your life IMO.

See if the far left drones can answer this:

So is Jeremiah Wright a "Christian Fundamentalist"?

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Very simple. Buy a Bible. Everyone who followed Jesus Christ was a Christian fundamentalist. If you're not a fundamentalist? You're not a follower of Jesus Christ.

And if you hate Christian fundamentalists? You are an enemy of Jesus Christ.

No, he teaches liberal theology which seeks the destruction of Christian Fundamentalists and promotes Communism. (Rev. Wright and the Jesuit Pope Francis share this in common)

Jake , no matter how hard you try to make christ insanity sound reasonable it won't work

Fundamentalists, whether religious evangelicals or militant atheists, can be identified with 'stain': christstain or atheistain.

Non fundamentalists can embrace any religion or none. They don't try to impose their beliefs or lack thereof on anyone.

It only fundamentalists who have to prove themselves "right" who go around insisting that others must believe as they do.

Yet the far left drones do this every day, with each every post!

The far left religion does exactly what they accuse others of doing, Oh the hypocrisy!

In reality Christianity is about charity and forgiveness. guno, however, doesn't care about facts that don't buttress his hate of ethnic groups other than his own.

Hell is the suffering that comes from selfishness and hate both in this world and the next. guno should know all about that.

And so the far left religion can be included in such a discussion. But then again so could "Islam", Judaism, Catholicism, etc. Why only single out Christianity?
