And we should not suddenly become caught in the same mindtrap they are.
But the fundamentalists are caught in the same mindtrap. There is little difference between fundamentalists of any strip. It isn't one religion vs another, or one economy vs another it is one mode of thinking against another. Rational vs irrational, inerrant vs questioning, fixed vs changing is the real battle that the world is starting to sink into.

Christophobic ?
How many Christian fundies are blowing themselves up, killing all they can with them in the name of Christian Biblical fundamentalism? When are you ever going to get real and over your Christophobic bent?? This is an outright blatant falsehood, and you well know it in your heart, Ned.
Excuse me, falsehood? Did I say Christian fundies were blowing themselves up?
What I say is the the mind that has to deny truth and reason to stick to an unchanging view of the real world is a dangerous source of falseness and, yes, even violence. Are there no fundies setting bombs anywhere? Is not unreason a perfectly valid way of operating to too many? Are some forced by their worldview to resort to lies to support it? These are symptoms which are not part of a religion but of a mindset.
Christophobic? I know what the majority of Christians believe and how they think. It is not that majority that I have an arguement with or concern about. It is the inturned, Bible worshipping minority that are the concern. This minority looks to my Christian friends more like the islamists than they do like those who share the pews with them.
