I would define a fundamentalist as somebody who is so confident they are right, they cannot learn from others. The downside to this is that neither can they teach- for learning is in the conversation.
For me, the take on the twins in Josephine's story is a little different. My Christ would say; 'You two idiots, neither of you get it, do you. Come here, I have room for you both. And your mates. Let me show you what relationship, what love, is really all about. And when you are ready, and able and confident, you can share some of my love, my relationship, with others as well.' Grace intrinsically linked with judgement for all. My God judges all the same- with Grace.
But then I'm not orthodox.
Hell, I don't know what label, I'd call myself*.
*gun, fish, barrel- use these words in a cogent thought.

Dude, do what you want, but RooK is trying to help you out, because that really looks stupid. You ever see some guy at a dance club snapping his fingers and playing air guitar? Scare quotes are the textual equivalent of that.

I certainly wouldn't gloat about it, just as I wasn't gloating in what I said earlier. However, I suspect that if you did lose your faith, you'd be as much as an irritating little shit about it as you are now as an Orthodox, and I'd tell you so.

Actually, it is a real (albeit online) place. We're in it now.
It's also a town in Norway, but I don't think anyone was referring to that in their posts.

Thing is, that's exactly what scare quotes are -- denoting metaphorical or other figurative use of a term. Overuse or misuse of scare quotes in writing is only slightly less an egregious affectation than is using air quotes when speaking.
Get over yourself. You're not fooling anyone with your mock humility.

I agree, nothing inherently wrong, so long as it isn't blind love and pig-headed adherence. Generally it's a lack of humility which gets people backs up, but while that occurs everywhere, those known as fundies do it best.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything here, but do you sometimes wonder how easy it is for people to accuse others of this very "lack of humility?"

Good point - it is very easy to discern lack of humility in others, which is why most people most of the time make a big effort not to come across as arrogant, pompous pratts. So that makes it all the more obvious when someone doesn't bother.

It takes a while to work the Ship out. I've not sussed it yet either. Just as it takes time for someone to learn the ropes in Orthodoxy or any othr Christian tradition.

I'm not sure why I feel like punishing myself by bothering to talk with you. Because unless I take a nail gun to my temple, I'm not going to be able to think down to your level of gibbering idiocy. But I have a fondness for this old haunt, so let me pretend you have enough functioning brain cells to grasp a couple simple concepts (wasted though the effort probably wil be).
- The exact meaning of "scare quotes" is: ...quotation marks placed around a word or phrase to indicate that it does not signify its literal or conventional meaning. Which is precisely what you asserted the meaning of your usage to be. And you'd have figured that out if you had bothered to question your supposed "understanding" and looked them up - because it's the first fucking result in a Google search.
- "Metaphore" isn't a real word, but the typo is a hilariously huge signpost for how little you bother to check what you say. A metaphor, if you will, for how little your utterances are worth.
- "OK?" That depends on how much you like being a loser. Your maladaptive mode of posting, exemplified by your tragic posts on this thread, is the whole point of why this thread exists. Which, as it happens, is fundamentally tied to why this whole board exists: to point out to annoying little cumstains such as yourself that you are, in fact, annoying little stains of ejaculate.
Basically, you suck. And if you see me outside of Hell, you better run for your pathetic little fucking life.

Mark,
You need a number of things. Firstly you must ignore the peanuts thrown your way. Consider that an elementary exercise in discernment. Just in case the invective has got in way your most pressing need appears to have already been outlined in Josephine's posts.
Otherwise, getting a girlfriend and moving out of the parental home look wise.

Except we couldn't find any commonality in Christianity when we tried. We did have a thread on this. And your argument is essentially 'the bible says it, I believe it. That settles it.' There is not a lot of learning in that.

I wasn't expecting good reviews from you, dear
I think your antics on the Ordinariate thread in Purgatory speak for themselves. You have as much tolerance in you as a Bennite at a Labour Conference circa 1981

Oh, I don't know. There's something quite fascinating about having a chew toy trying to have a go at Rook. Rather like watching a cute animated character hurl themselves full tilt at a brick wall. I expect little stars or tweety birds to appear.
Also reminds me of that computer classic, Lemmings.

That's the tiredest, lamest, least original jibe you could aim at a liberal, but in any case, on what grounds do you think I'm a liberal fundie?
I wasn't expecting good reviews from you, dear
I think your antics on the Ordinariate thread in Purgatory speak for themselves. You have as much tolerance in you as a Bennite at a Labour Conference circa 1981
You can't expect me to like those miserable misogynists, especially the ones who've been incredibly selfish while they were in the C of E, but being rude about people who you strongly disagree with doesn't make you any kind of fundie. I did say, and meant sincerely, that, while very glad to see the back of them, I wished them well in their new communion.
Anyway, the word 'fundamentalist/fundie' has become hopelessly devalued. It used to have a very specific meaning: someone who believed in the literal truth, as well as the inerrancy, of the Bible, or in other words a young-earth creationist. Now it's more or less synonymous with 'bigot', and is just a vague insult-word.

OK, I obviously seem to be missing something... This guy RooK thinks he's the big man on here, I can see he's "Admin" whatever that means. But in reality, he's just a little boy (behind a PC screen) who's given far more credence than he deserves, just because he knows how to use a few big words.

First time I've thoroughly agreed with you, Mark, and probably the last. That stream of potty-mouthed invective above was just pathetic. I know this is Hell, but even in Hell a modicum of intelligence and originality doesn't come amiss.

The Admins are the people who have the final say in how this place is run. You'd be wise to remember that.

"Stream"? Jeez, you really don't get out of the basement much, do you? As flows of profanity go in Hell, that was a mere trickle. A brook at best.

I have *far* more sense than to tell RooK what to do, but this looks to me like a challenge he might like to rise to…
Also, how much money would I need to pay for Josephine to change her title to "Ship's Babushka"?
