I for one are sick of seeing fundies pentecostals and evangelicals presume if you post a question critical of religious fanaticism that you're not a Christian posting and using their answers to post a long unnecesssary sermon on how to "accept the lord" which usually has nothing to do with the ACTUAL topic!
Do these people have poor levels of reading comprehension or what?
Why do they mistake ranting for spiritual inspiration?
and then there's the whole all pagans are evil demon worshippers nonsense!
Anyone care to add to the list?

What bothers me about religious right-wing fundamentalists is their short-sighted and oversimplistic thinking. The idea that all the world's problems stem from immorality and liberalism is absurd. Corporate, governmental and economic influences are far greater than that of idealistic, young liberals.
As for the fundamentalists who are mostly religious and not political, I don't feel too bothered, but rather confused and sad that they turn so many people off from the idea of Christianity.

Hello sweet J V.. :)
The below is said with ~Love~
I attend a Pentecostal Church.. :)
Yet I have never criticized anyone here, whether they be Atheist, Hindu, Muslim, Pagan, Wicca, Agnostic, Gnostic, Buddhist or any others belief or thought..
I admire Pagan Earth-girl, Raven's Voice, ZAPP, Heron by the Sea, Kallan, Chicky, Betteriage, Pangel, Godzilla, Squirrel, Paladin and many others here.. :)
We do not have the same thoughts or beliefs, but we still are "Friends"
In Jesus Most Precious Name..

To answer your question correctly what your real problem is, is Jesus Christ the Son of God.I viewed your Q&A's, sorry that you feel the way that you do.I will be praying for you and like you even if you don't like me.NOTE: Verse 14
1Cr 2:11 ''For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Vs.12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Vs.13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Vs.14 [But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:] [for they are foolishness unto him:] [neither can he know them,] [because they are spiritually discerned.]
Vs.15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Vs.16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."
CATHOLIC CRUSADER: Sorry but I just couldn't resist since you brought it up.I know this will probably get your "goat" to.And I quess I am a fuddie thank God.
Mat 25:32 ''And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the [goats:]
Vs.33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the [goats on the left.]
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:''

Its scary how many answerers presumed the poster wasnt Christian thereby proving her point.
The question people was to make a list of things that fundies presume and do that annoy you if you're liberal/moderate or just not a fanatic.
This careless answering annoys me!
Adding to the list as requested:
Wilful ignorance and supporting bad science.

What is an Xtian? Are these the ones who celebrate Xmas for four months, since it is "50% of the retailers profits for the year?" Why do you X Christ out of society?
As far as the fundamentalists and evangelicals go, they X him out in a different fashion, but just as effective.

I hate when they say someone is going to hell. I'm a Catholic, and I've seen Fundies say that John Paul II and Mother Teresa are burning in hell. That really gets my goat.

Are you a Christian? Do you know the Lord?

Usually when someone types something against another, it's usually thought of vise versa too... as in the case of this...

They're a bunch of warmongering Christian Jihadists.
They are the American Taliban using the tactics of radical Islam! They offer the ultimatum of "if you're not with us, you're against us".
