My experience has been that the people who have lead the most fanatical life make the most fanatical Xians. If an outta control drug addict that has been in prison, with bastard kids running around, never held a job, etc, becomes a Xian, they will become the most fanatical Xian.
There are less religious freaks where I live but yes, they are disturbing to me also. If they exist in a relative minority they are essentially harmless unless you happen to have some who are your parents. All you really need is a fly swatter.
In larger swarms they can be dangerous because they can and do influence public policy and other social and political institutions.
I was totally shunned and shut out by my fundamentalist pentecostal family. And as if that was not bad enough, they then tried to tear down and smear me to my friends (didn't work). They told all sorts of lies about me around the neighborhoods in the small town. Yeah, they're sick, and they do SUCK. I can still hear one niece screaming at me "You need Jesus! You're a sinner woman!" :(
Fundimentalism and other ultra conservative strands of Christianity are authoritarian in nature and impead progress within society. They generally fight to restrict gay rights, privacy, free speech, etc, etc. They also tend to support war and capital punishment. There are more progressive and libertarian versions of Christianity that can actually promote progress within socieyt though. Many progressive Christians were active within the civil rights and abolitionists movements.
Not all Fundamentalists I would say are fanaticists.
A Religious Fundamentalist is someone who subcribes to strict adherence to a set of basic principles, a reaction to perceived doctrinal compromises with modern social and political life.
Religious Fanaticists are the types who actively discriminate and persecute those who do not subscribe to their faith, fundamentalism imo is pathway or the gateway into Religious fanaticism.
Good vid, and true enough when I was looking for a faith or non-faith i went overboard, it's natural; but as it is natural you can guess it would happen and at least you could tell your mother you love her bfore calling her a demon worshipper.
Well fanatacism can be fairly harmless, but religion when taken to fanatical levels causes real fucking problems. Being fanatical about say laundry folding wont hurt anyone, but believing that everyone who doesn't believe as you believe is going to hell fosters bigotry. Or believing that medicine is the devil and illness is gods will endangers your offspring.
I concur with the fakesagan, Yokeup was probably a trouser stain before he caught christianity, still the religion cant have helped.
To Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you (Luke 6:27-28) This means not just those who do or think or believe in opposition to you, but also those who plot openly or secretly against you, personally. Did Christ lie when he gave this Commandment? NO, he also has said to feed your enemy if they need it, one cannot do this if not speaking to nor knowing ones enemy. Something to think about....for all
With Yokeup I believe it is pure paranoia.He is so afraid of what happens when he dies it has a bad effect.He forgets the bible sayss "life and life more abundantly" he lives in hell on earth.
Religion is something to base your faith and heart in to believe in. Its too bad most use it to be mean instead of to help. I ALWAYS wondered if homosoexuals EVER picketed weddings and held signs up that said "GOD HATES ADULTERERS!" what would happen? Or if they went to a church and held up sings that says "Wedlock is wrong! You will burn in hell!" would that insight fright? Weird ain't it, but what if?
You hit the nail squarely on the head with this one, Crosis. Fundies use extreme Christianity/ Islam whatever as a blanket to justify their own bigotry and hatred.
Fundies whether they be Christian, Muslim or Jewish are the truest believers of their religion. And they just show how diabolical religion in general really is.
Sam Harris has pointed this out many times. The Christian fundamentalists have it right and the other more moderate and modern christians do indeed have it wrong. The Bible REALLY does demand that the fundamentalists act in the very manner that they do act.
Fundies especially ones that are born again often go or went from one extreme to the other. For example living in a self destructive life and doing a shitload of drugs and drinking and then through rehab they might turn to God but take no personal responsibility for thier behavior or ideology
YokeUp was probably always a psychotic, hateful, stupid ass whole his whole life that it probably what attracted him to Christianity he an sanctify his hate.
The question is, what you can do about those people, or their attitudes? I'm a little pessimistic about this - I think there isn't a huge chance you can talk a fundi in beeing reasonable. What can we do? I think you can only draw a line... setting limits for them, so they at least don't hurt other people. I'm thinking mainly about fundi influence on the governments - that is the battlefield where we are supposed to raise our voices on
i wonder how often the case is that a person who is bigoted and close minded turns to religion because they find that it excuses their contempt for others by making it god's position, rather than their own.
Fanatics hate accountability. That's why yokeup and JF behave as they do. Sure, they'll tell others to 'take accountability', but when they are told to do so, they just scream "Persecution!"
Looks like a pretty nice neighborhood, what state is that?
