It has been asked, what have Christian Fundamentalists contributed to society ---- even the world?
My deep feeling is that Christian Fundamentalists have the clearest understanding of the phrase: WHERE THERE IS LIFE THERE IS HOPE...
The logic being that while a person lives, he may turn his life over to GOD and become a Saved individual through CHRIST; however, once he is dead all hope is lost.
So the Fundamentalist Christian has sought to protect life, promote life, and save life.
This is not true of most other cultures, who see life as cheap and disposable. Perhaps this is why in America there has been such a long outcry against abortion, as an example.
Fundamentalist Christians have had the most influence in the United States and is still somewhat of an influence.
Several hundred years ago, life was expendable. If a man was killed, it mattered little to society. In the Muslim nations, this can still be seen, as people are encouraged to throw their lives away in the act of blowing up "infidels" (as though GOD HIMSELF in incapable of dealing with such in HIS own way). Children are allowed to starve in the streets and die without a thought of love, care, or protection (as though oh well, that is the way things have always been ---- who cares).
I see the United States heading in this direction but see no recourse if the society at large loses it's Fundamental Christian influences... The nation will again imagine, as with the rest of the world, that life is cheap, and hope is but a meaningless word. All that counts is me, myself, and I...
