Similarities

Fundamentatlists are "right" because their God tells them so.

Fundamentatlists feel that only one book is worth reading and can not be wrong in any way.

Fundamentalists are 100% sure that all others are wrong.

Fundamentalists are 100% sure that they will be rewarded and all other punished.

Fundamentalists deny evidence that is ovewhelming to the rational mind.

When a fundamentalist kills it is "God's will".

The above is true of fundamentalists of all stripes. These are the similarities.

fundies

While the catholics and protestants there are acting in a particularly mindless way I'm not sure that they qualify as "fundies" otherwise. I wouldn't take this as an example but I don't know the details of thier specific beliefs.

Religion too?

Is it possible that Buz, who has shown a rather weak grasp of science also has an equally weak grasp of comparative theology?

An Historic Moment!

So to address your original hypothesis, fundamentalist religion is a high risk attitude toward religion which tends to enslave people to it. It's not right to say fundamentalist Islam is a direct opposite of fundamentalist Christianity, because obviously they belong to the same fundamentalist class of religion.

We agree!!!!
