It seems that there is a cycle of some fundamentalist showing up with a fanatical fervor to school everyone up and convert them. Heck. They have the inexplicable compulsion to convert Christians. It’s a curiouser curiouser thing that Christian Fundamentalists are really not a lot different from the fundamentalist of other religions. They have it all figured out. No legitimate question be it difficult or simple goes without an answer. They “litrally” have it all figured out and an answer for everything. When their beliefs are challenged they don’t answer directly but go to great lengths and blather on and on repeating some memorized apologetical argument to support their views. When that fails they resort to personal insult and or dehumanizing the person who is a threat to them by having ask simple questions. They are not self critical or introspective which is a reflection of a deep seated belief that that they are somehow autonomously righteous. They are big on law and commandments. Never mind that the whole of the Bible teaches that the law never did, never could and never will bring righteousness. It can’t. It wasn’t designed for that. But…..the fundamentalist drags everyone back to the law. If they were self critical and introspective they would realize that they are sinners. Sinners he said! Ask a fundamentalist if he sins. That’s a fun experiment. Talk about making a guy squirm as his self righteousness is challenged. They will lie through their teeth and come up with all kinds of excuses or twisted definitions of what sin is and how they only sometimes sin. They never realize that the expressed disbelief in their righteousness by those who claim no faith at all is a condemnation of exponential proportions. I’m a Christian. Faith is important in my life. That being the case, were I faced with two choices, go to a fundamentalist church or go to a whore house I’d chose the whore house every time. It would be a much more honest transaction every single time and metaphorically appropriate. Last edited by IZH27; 08/30/21.

I think that form and function matter. People tend to muddy it up with their own ideas and personal “messages from God”. Fundamentalists invented their own brand

I do like to share my faith with people who are interested,but do not want to arrogantly impose my beliefs on anybody. I just consider myself to be a follower of christ who belongs to a local church

He is very well versed and I have not once felt belittled by him. Nor by as BIL who lives it . Others- yeah I get the holier than thou every now and then and it annoys metoo. I try not to trigger or argue but as coolly as I can 'offer' a counter, rather than "insist: a counter. Me...big work in progress. Would love to be the person I .....would love to be. Most of my family is devout Catholic but none can quote the Bible yet were ever eager to ...instruct me. Not so much these days. When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are something to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honors are something to be ashamed of . Confucius

It’s more like a cut in brush. The Gospel is simple. Fundamentalists take you back to the law as a way of measuring yourself righteousness and justifying yourself. No Gospel to be seen in that message.
