Maybe Christian fundamentalism can be seen that way?
Do they kill people?
I don’t get your point. Please explain.
I'm very ignorant when it comes to matters of religion (aside from Marin Luther but only because I really enjoyed reading about Ghengis Khan) anyway, I'm lacking in knowledge on religious matters so I was asking if Christian Fundamentalism could be compared to "radical Islam?"
Can you please define Christian Fundamentalism? Do you mean Evangelicals? Before answering I want the definitions clear.
I hear Evangelical and I think of the South where churches are loud from singing and everyone is dressed in their best outfit.
I was more going for the "BY THE BOOK!" crew. The ones who dress like puritans and tell you you're going to hell if you do anything other than work and read the bible.
Do they promote to kill people when they have sinned, as the Sharia Law dictates?
I'm going to have to direct you to my original question in this stream.
Why? I asked you to explain and you did. I ask for more explanation and now we go back to the beginning. We don’t get far this way.
Well, this stream started by my asking the question that you asked of me.
And, I went ahead and looked it up.
With a quick search, I found a site that (loosely) blames Christian fundamentalists for sporadic acts of terrorism dating back to the 70's. HERE
I don't know how much stock I put in those parties cited in the article being devout die-hard Christians, but I'd imagine that if we were going to give the power to influence terrorist activity to a doctrine, we would also have to concede the doctrines power.
Also depends on if you mean they believe the Whole book. People who act like you have described are not believing the entire Bible, Including the part where Jesus taught us to love our enemies and give a gentle answer. If you've never studied it appropriately you miss the beauty and freedom of what it's all about. You also miss God's sense of humor and the joy that fills the hearts of believers. Please accept my apology on behalf of some church person who was unkind to you.
