I'm just sick of having people I love being lumped in with violent extremists. I could be anti-American and say I'm sick of American ignorance coloring peoples perception of what it is to be christian, but that would be going to far, so I won't.
However, the number of times I see a whacko raving, and people referring to him as "fundamentalist" drives me insane!
It IS a relative term. Like IDEALIST. What are your ideals? Idealism isn't wrong.
Religion, faith, ideals, fundamentalism, intolerance. All relative terms. Any benefit or damage to an individual or society is found within the CONTENT of those beliefs, not simply having beliefs.
Otherwise it's a deification of moderationism.
