The Dangers of Fundamentalist Extremism
in Christianity

This section began with my response to fundamentalist arguments regarding homosexuals. That was before September 11, 2001. I have become increasingly aware of the dangers in the rise of fundamentalism worldwide. ALL forms of fundamentalism — Christian, Islamic, or Other — are a danger to every human society and offensive to the true spirit of their claimed religions. Fundamentalism is an active backlash against all forms of social progress by those who perceive themselves as losing power in such progress. It is essential that those who support progressive movements — including, but not limited to, feminism, anti-racism, and the rights of sexual minorities — be aware of and actively counter the backlash of Fundamentalism.

If you are a Fundamentalist, you will find the above statements offensive. If you read what I have written, and write to me reflecting an understanding of what I have written, I will dialogue with you. All other debate will be religiously ignored.

Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God.

Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and all thy soul,
and love thy neighbor as thyself.

Test the spirit by its fruits.
