People who try to force their religion on others. They are always quoting the bible.
*NOTE for the people who dont have a clue. The infomation below is a FACT. check the web site out if you dont believe it.
Bible thumper (also Bible basher) is a derisive term used to describe Christian fundamentalists, or anyone perceived as aggressively pushing their religious beliefs upon those who do not share them. As an insult, its target domain is broad and can often extend to anyone engaged in a public show of religiosity, fundamentalist or not.
The term alludes to a preacher thumping his hand hard down on the lectern and the Bible on it to emphasize a point during a sermon.
Sid Meier used the term in his PC game "Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri" to refer to the religious fundamentalist faction, with remarks made by the other factions in the game along the lines of "they're too busy bible-thumping and it's cutting into their bible-reading" to suggest that they had lost sight of the bible's true teachings.
It is also the name of a Bible-study program for Palm OS which contains the full text of the King James Bible. This is a good, albeit possibly somewhat tongue in cheek, example of an insult being reclaimed as a positive description.

It is a term used long ago, ministers would go around from town to town and set up tent revivals and when they would preach they would stand up in front of the people and thump there hand upon the Bible and there for you have a Bible thumper.

Williamzo is right,a Bible Thumper is one who WILL NOT cOMPROMISE the Bible NO MATTER WHAT! Even if they have to lay down their lives,so be it! I'm a Bible Thumper and proud of it! We tell the truth like the Bible says,no punches pulled.People hate us,as well as nominal christian's because we stand for Christ and His Word.They hated Christ in His day,they hate us now day's all because of our stand for Christ.So be it,they crucuified Christ,so must i be hated and killed for my stand for Christ and the Bible.

There are plenty of examples on this forum.........those that spout verses and "try" to convince you that they are right. Usually these people can not think or speak for themselves and resort in quoting chapter and verse....
