GUEST,Slag BS: It's not delusional if it's religious? (177* d) RE: BS: It's not delusional if it's religious? 06 Apr 09


I scarcely see a fundamentalist accepting YOUR definition of fundamentalism. Inerrancy and mathematical precision do not belong in the same arena. Granted some (or even many) so called fundamentalists DO make such errors but they are not spokesmen for the various groups who make their fundamental beliefs known. What hath Jerusalem to do with Athens?

PBS ran a program concerning how people learn. Part of the experiment took place at MIT, no less, on graduation day. It was sponsored by Harvard. The interviewer had a AA battery, one short piece of copper wire about 6 inches long and an appropriate flashlight bulb. He asked at least a half dozen new MIT engineering grads if they could make the bulb light up. All but one could NOT! So, do we judge MIT by its alumnus? Is it fair to knock their school because some of it's participants couldn't make a simple electrical circuit?

You make a straw man of fundamentalism because you do not understand it and many pew sitter fundamentalists do not understand just what they believe either. You can't judge it solely by its constituency.
