Reply #34: But I encounter more "fundamentalist" arguments from atheists in R/T than anywhere else in my life:

[struggle4progress]

by this, I mean that certain atheists in R/T are the only people I regularly encounter who insist that if I consider myself a Christian, then I must interpret the Bible with a fundamentalist's literalism

This "fundamentalist atheism" appears to be a standard set-up: who discounts it, is described as not a "real Christian," the common intent being to promote the idea that "real Christians" are schizoid, poorly educated, illogical, superstitious, and anti-scientific

So, thanks, but no thanks
