AMEN!RaptureTicketHolder said:I love being close minded to anything but GODs word.
Do you wish to call that fundi thought? Im good with that.
I think those who accuse others of being fundies can not understand the Lord's word well enough to see the closeness that fundi actuall has w/the Lord. Out of this ignorance a different kind of hate or disdain is formed for that fundi "hater".
I tend to agree w/this post that tolerance of worldly thought and action has slipped its way into modernday Christian thinking producing the non-fundi like qualities that most of Christiandom is current made of. I call this the great falling away. It wont be long though, folks, when these so called fundi principles and thought are seen for what they really are, the Lord's calling from His word.
I would much rather be a fundi then a lukewarm taker of the Lords wrath.
i like that quote too tulc. it has been one of my dozen signatures. so truetulc said:It kind of reminds me of something Jonathan Swift said:
"we have just enough Religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love each other."

Well I don't believe in the concept of "good" as the Abramic religions define it. In fact I don't believe in the whole concept of ultimate good and ultimate evil in a constant battle for control of the Universe.Fiendishjester said:Good and Evil are relative concepts, they are not absolute. Many people have many different ideas of good and evil.
Good and Evil also cannot exist without each other, as they are relative concepts. For the concept, "good" to exist, the concept "evil" must exist. For this reason, if you wish, you may be intolerant of evil, but as long as you believe good exists, evil will exist as well.

.....I don't have to be bigotted, or use hateful speech to do it......
I would much rather be a person who claims to love others and actually displays that love than a fundie who claims love but shows none.[/qutoe]
Show me the hate, and Ill be happy to deal with it though you.
You are confusing tolerance w/love. I see this very, very often in such conversations.
You are actually advocating tolerance here and confusing the lack of tolerance on the "fundi" part as hate.
Tolerance can be misused just like anything else.Havoc said:You see, tolerance is a good thing. Intolerance is rooted in hatred, prejudice, and bigotry.
The fact that you view intolerance as being the preferred position speaks volumes about what is really in your heart.
Once again I am reminded of why I didn't want to be a Christian any more. No doubt others here are reminded once again as well. Thanx for your help RTH.

Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
Thank you but I'll stick with the originial quote.Havoc said:If you stand with someone who stands right, but only because it serves his selfish pupose, you should have parted with him.
If you stand with someone who believes he stands right, but cannot show that he stands right, and hurts other people while doing so, you should have parted with him.
If you stand with someone who says he stands right, and everyone who believes differently than him stands wrong, but cannot offer so much as a shred of substantive evidence that he is right and everyone else is wrong, you should have parted with him.
I agree, which is why each of us must do his part to prevent bigotry and religious fundieism from suceeding.sweetkitty said:Thank you but I'll stick with the originial quote.
Here is another.
Edmund Burke:All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.
