More E-mails From Fundies

Now that I’ve read some of the ‘stuff” on your site, what do i do with
my newfound fundie friends. Should I drop them and ask you to e-mail
me a list of approved Christian friends that measure up with YOUR
criteria? Your problem is that you don’t paint with a broad enough
brush. The Grahams, (Yeah you know, Billy, Franklin and Ned) have long
been giving aid and comfort to the same Chinese church apparatus that
has been killing and persecuting our brethren for years. No complaints
on this site about that. I could site the likes of Rick Warren, Bill
Hybels, Josh McDowell and others who with their rhetoric have
supported the arrest of brethren for witnessing to Muslims in
Dearborn, Michigan and persecution and imprisonment of brethren for
“proselytizing” in other nations. Why are there no posts here about
that. Answer. Because to do so is to use too broad a brush. I’m
surprised you guys weren’t high-fiving one another over the deaths of
these missionaries in Mexico. Weren’t THEY fundies? With all due
candor, I cannot call myself a fundie, not in the purest sense anyway.
But people like you (yourselves, whatever) will make a fundie out of
me. There are plenty of planks to be pulled out of eyes. Start with
your own. Of course it could be that I’m not even dealing with true
Christians here. I don’t know who I’m dealing with here at vthis site.
Maybe this comment was just a complete waste of time.

(Signed)None of your business

You know, I really feel for this individual. It must be such a bummer to go to a site about fundamentalists and then discover that they only talk about fundamentalists instead of whatever your own pet topics are.
