So, yeah, despite the fact that they're highly selective in such reading (the "abominable" eating of shrimp, after all, is ignored), I'd consider them Christian fundamentalists. Or better still, intellectually dishonest Christian fundamentalists.<br /><br />Peace,<br /><br />MichaelMichael J.

WIthout a substantial definition of this term, its just an ad hominem attack. Could someone believe that homosexual relations were not moral and not be "fundamentalist"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612445.post-37322890644598910952009-12-08T19:57:28.342-06:002009-12-08T19:57:28.342-06:00Thanks for posting this.
