Really? I don't feel any more bashed than usual. Then again, I could just be more immune to it, I could be evolving

It seems to be the usual blend of folks here in the R&S section this morning. Some atheists, some Christians, a few Muslims, and the normal proportion of "enthusiasts" in all groups.
That, or else I haven't got enough blood circulating in my caffiene stream yet this morning and I'm still too bleary-eyed to notice.

Sorry - all the non-fundies were busy creating new accounts, because we are deleted on a daily basis...yesterday was the second account deleted within 24 hours without explanation.
PS - I send a virtual punch in the face to Barry for his "not a real christian" BS he spouts. And I remind him that Stalin and Pol Pot werent real atheists either...

Based on my reading of the definition of a fundamentalist, I was wonder why most feel that they are bad? I have also heard the term legalist applied to fundamentalists. Is there a problem with being either?
Is it being legalistic to ask for scriptural proof for what one practices in the work and worship of the church? Is it being legalistic to follow what Jesus said do (John 14:15; Hebrews 5:9)? Is it being legalistic to be devoted to and follow God in genuine loving obedience (Matthew 5:17-48)? Is it being legalistic to reject human laws, human traditions and human teachings when they are placed on the same level as the Scriptures (Matthew 15:7-9)?
Some have mistaken legalism for loving strict obedience. When we do all that God has commanded, in loving obedience, we are only doing what Jesus said do. "Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say" (Luke 6:46). God said you love ME when "you keep my commandments" (1 John 5:3). People who rebel against this type of scriptural teaching and want to Justify their departure from the word of God because they have introduced innovations that are unscriptural -- try to cover up their departure from God's word by calling all those who oppose them "legalist.'' Really, they are demonstrating how feeble, indifferent, and deceitful they are spiritually
Consider this: My family doctor is what I would call a legalist-. He demands that I get a yearly physical. He insists that I stay on a certain diet to lose weight. He requires I take the medicine he prescribed in a certain way, every day, if I want to get better. He demands that I make an appointment to see him. And he insists to get paid for his service rendered Isn't it amazing how legalistic my family doctor can be? He wants me to live long and be healthy. I sure am glad my family doctor is a legalist.
God wants us to live with Him eternally. To be able to do that, I must be obedient to what God said do, the way He said to do it -- without any addition or subtraction from His word. If that makes me a legalist -- so be it!

If you're recovering, you were never Christian in the first place. And now that you mention it, yes, it's "Fundie Friday!" How do we celebrate? Pie?

They have to try and trap you before Sunday. So they start of Fridays.
