Secondly, he always accuses me of being a fundamentalist. How can that be, when I DO adore an alcoholic beverage and probably hold it a heck of a lot better than SirJosephPorter holds his diluted wine concoctions.
Yukon, I call you a Fundamentalist in opinions, in politics, not in religion. When I call you a Fundamentalist, that is a descriptive term, describing you politics, not your religion. You agree with Fundamentalists on most issues, such as abortion, gay rights, contraception, death penalty etc. That makes you an ‘honorary’ Fundamentalist, though obviously not one in religion.
I assume being a Catholic you disagree with Fundamentalists on obscure, religious issues such as salvation, grace, the role of Mary (Jesus’ mother etc.).
