Is it possible that there is such a thing as a
Fundamentalist Christian Democrat? Is the concept mutually exclusive?

that are really fundamentalist Christians and true Democrats. Jimmy Carter is the first that springs to mind. The thing about fundamentalism, it's not quite as monolithic as it seems to be. Some see the bible as fundamentally being about taking care the poor and helping the environment and they can quote all sorts of scripture for it.

5. Yes, there is a Christian forum. They would be at home
there, I was at home there when I was a Christian. I'm an atheist now, but I still respect folks like Jimmy Carter.

9. Personal Question and you don't have to answer it...
Are you a fundamentalist Christian Democrat? I saw your other thread and it seem you believe in a deity.

I'd like to think that everyone would want to be in the Lounge, that said, religion and atheism are always flamey topics. If you write on them , expect to get burned.

I have a lot of respect for you Tuesday Afternoon, whatever your beliefs. :hug:

11. nawh...
remember ...I am the one that turned out to be an Orthodox Jew according to the quiz/test that Ava posted sometime back. Go figure. I thought my beliefs were more in accordance with American Indian.

I do believe in the spirit. I believe there is good and evil. I do believe that we are more than the sum total of chemicals and hormones.

I do believe that there was always germs though they can not be seen by the human eye. I think we just have not found the microscope that reveals to all the evidence they require in order to see God as I know him.

:hug:

14. Thank you. How long ago was that test?
I remember taking so kind of religious test a year or so ago, when I still believed in god. It seems I came out as a Universalist Unitarian or something. :shrug:

:hug:

18. I hate the term Christian Democrat for one simple reason:
It's been hijacked by the right wing.

Coming from Europe, Christian Democrats are the Right.

Angela Merkel is a Christian Democrat.

Mark.

19. Yes, but that's in Europe.
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 02:24 AM by elshiva
How does Angela Merkel compare to Jimmy Carter?

What about the Silly Party? Is that conservative or liberal nowadays?
