Gibo salt can kill you too much of it is not good for you.
Fundy's are not mainstream Christians I wonder how you feel about Fundy's who are Muslims?
This thread is about a man who clearly is Christian.
Look at the post in caps above, tell me it is not defaming the bloke.
Gibo in fact just what did your Holy book mean by judge not less you be judged?
Claims made about such as Obama in the name of one of our worlds many Gods often sicken me.
We do you know Gibo have many Gods on this planet, why do you think we have so many?
Congrats to Obama and America on a win for both tomorrow our time.
We win too a better world is the result.

Jesus also had something to say about what to do with salt that's lost it's saltiness.

Gibo: << Whats wrong with fundamentalists Belly? >>

Hard to know where to start, really. The words intolerance, bigotry, arrogance, paternalism, credulity, ignorance, dogmatism, hypocrisy and stupidity leap immediately to mind. I'm sure there are many others.

I think that Gibo, Porkycrap, runner and a few others do an excellent job on OLO of exhibiting what's wrong with fundamentalists.

While they probably perform some kind of Durkheimian sociological function, I think the world would be a better place with less fundamentalists - of any persuasion.

C J Morgan is a word smith I very often think I wish I had said that.
Without one vote being counted I am calling it for Obama.
True Sachimo is singing what a wonderfull world in my head.
No not a whole new one just a little bit better one.
Any world is better for not having Bush in charge.
Just maybe one wish from me?
That one day man will understand he made his/her Gods, did a good job but we no longer need them.
And that day we can truly start to be one humanity, no religion to teach us to hate others
Sing it Sachimo.

"What's wrong with fundamentalists?"

I suppose that depends on who the fundamentalist is and to what degree of fundementalism they adopt. Sometimes I think of myself as one, but I shudder in horror when I see what goes on among the fundamentalists in the USA.

Borrowing Gibo's definition: "believe that everything in the Bible is the truth" - I believe that the entire Bible is inspired by God, but don't necessarily believe all the events and people described in the Bible actually happened or existed. Jesus spoke in parables, and it is possible that some events noted in the Bible are recorded to tell us something.
"They dont have room for porn, abortion, witchcraft, bad political systems, drugs, drunkenness, idolatry" Porn - I find it unsatisfying so I leave it alone. Abortion - I'm a male so this won't apply to me. I don't like it, but don't think I've got the right to stop a woman from making her own choice. Witchcraft - I don't understand it, I don't believe in it, I am not interested in it. Drugs - I'm totally opposed to all illegal drugs. Drunkeness - I like to drink in moderation - the Bible does not forbid alcohol, Jesus himself drank and even turned water into wine. Idolatry - this is an interesting one and open to interpretation. Many fundamentalist Christians spend so much time trying to live a "good" life, that they haven't got time for God. In Jesus's time the Pharasees were trying to live holy blameless lives. I compare some of today's fundamentalists with the Pharasees. The message of true Christianity is that Jesus came to set us free. Not to bind us to a long list of must dos and must not dos (For many fundamentalists, this is actually a list of must be seen doing, and must not get caught doing). Their brand of Christianity actually becomes their idol.

Barack Obama has won the presidency.

A new hope for us all.
