Are fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims all that different?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

They both are awful, although there is a difference, one simply take an awful religion to its extreme, while the other pervert and distort a wonderful religion.

And no, Jesus was nothing like the fundie types of today, he was the exact opposite, he was the revolutionary radical who was executed by the establishment regime and the fundies of the time (the Pharisees). That is the type of person I would follow to the death, back then, or today.

You're right, afleitch, both have strayed away from the original ideas that founded their religion.  I mean, I've never read the Koran, nor researched the Muslim Religion, but I bet that they aren't much different then these people who look down and hate groups of people in the name of Jesus, when what he taught most of all was love and tolerence.

Hardly true. In Jesus' case yes. How many people did he kill? But in Mohammed's case, no. He was a violet warmonger.

There is nothing wrong with sticking to the fundamentals (Phelps for example)

So you think there is nothing wrong with this and this is the fundamentals of Christianity?

And you think we should thank God for 9/11?

Are we arguing that Fred Phelps is representative of fundamentalist Christians now?

Well that's what MODU said. See his quote.

Know what's funny? I once was called the "Christian version of bin Laden" by a right winger. Like I'm a fundamentalist. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. I wonder what bin Laden thinks of strip clubs?

No, I was giving an example.  Phelps might be a down right biggot, but he's not out killing people in name of God.  That's why he's only a  fundamentalist.  If he were an extremist, like your terror cell leaders, then he would be out there ordering the killings of "fags" (to use the term in the website you listed) in the name of God, which is contradictory to what the scriptures actually say.  But like with anything, it only takes a hand full of bad apples to spoil the bunch.  So while Phelps is a fundamentalist, he doesn't represent the majority; however, he's not an extremist either.

So who's more extremist, someone like Phelps, or say, the UVF who did kill people and then afterwords went to deal drugs and screw prostitutes?

UVF?

Ulster Volunteer Force, largest Northern Ireland loyalist paramilitary group, while the fighting there was nationalistic and not religiously motiviated, the Portestant loyalists did claim that the republicans who wanted to join Ireland were fighting for a puppet state controlled by the Pope who they saw as some sort of Antichrist and most claimed that they were defenders of Protestantism (which was really complete bullsh!t and they probably knew it, but the point still stands)
