I'm an independent fundamentalist Baptist and would like to know what conspiracy I'm a theorist of. In other words the answer is no.

Not at all. It would be a slur to put conspiracy theorists and Fundies in the same group. An insult, so to speak. No Star Spirit, fundamentalists are just plain, old fashioned idiots. All the thumbs down I get, and there will be alot, will be from idiots.

Fundamentalists are nothing to do with conspiracy theories.
Fundamentalists of any kind or religious persuasion are the most dangerous and evil people on this earth.
It is fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims who are the terrorists.

Pat Robertson seems to belong to that group. Fundamentalists believe the Bible was dictated by God word for word.
Fundamentalism is defined as “the practice of asserting the absolute truth of your own beliefs and practices to the deliberate exclusion of the possibility of truth in the beliefs and practices of others.” It is nothing but bigotry.
Fundamentalists have this "holier than thou" attitude, which gets in your nerves. They always presume to know more about your religion than you do. Fundamentalists talk as if no case could be made for the Catholic faith.
Are they our modern day Pharisees?
How can I bring myself to even respect them? They resort to black propaganda and lies. Here are some examples of their lies and propaganda.
+ The Pope is the Anti-Christ (they have been saying this since Martin Luther made the accusation).
+ The Church is the Whore of Babylon in the book of Revelation
+ Catholics are not Christians
+ Catholics put Mary in the same level as God
+ Catholics worship statues and idols
+ The Catholic teaching on Indulgence is a permission to commit sin
+ The Catholic Church is the Mother of all harlots.
+ Catholics worship Satan
+ The Catholic Church started Islam

If any of these allegations were true I would be the first to leave the Catholic Church. And to add insult to injury they justify these allegations by saying “we don't want you to go to hell; we love you” which to us is a lame excuse for bashing Catholics. Do they really expect us to fall for that line? Catholics do not bash other religions because we know we belong to the true Church. Bashing Catholicism also shows Fundamentalists are insecure people. If they are so sure about their beliefs why bash Catholicism? They have already told us a million times what they do not like about our faith. And they have also warned us a million times we will go to hell with those beliefs. So, what really is their reason for attacking our faith again and again? There can only be two reasons: to validate their own faith which means they are insecure and unsure of their own faith or they just want to bash my faith.
To my fundamentalist brothers & sisters: Jesus said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. – Matthew 7, 1-2 (KJV)

No, but a good sign that one is a fundamentalist is that they have conspiracy theory;s.

No. Unless there's a conspiracy theory that I didn't get the memo about. Hmmm....maybe I'm being kept out of the loop. Nope...I just checked my inbox, no conspiracy theories there. Why do you ask? Are you aware of something I'm not.

Dear sweet jane,
You forgot the fundamentalist jews (zionists) as well, who killed Folk Bernadotte of Sweden.
Dear atypical carl,
As you can see, anyone can be a fundamentalist, not just christians (hindus can be fundamentalists as well)

Not necesarily but they interpret their religious texts literally. This may cause them to become conspiracy theorists depending on their interpretation of them e.g. some Christian fundamentalists say 'the devil's hand in countries fighting Israel or in liberalism.

They share a lot of traits, but the twist on them is that they think they're part of the conspiracy.
