I find it FUNny that you won't recognize how FUNdaMental begins with the word FUN and includes the word Mental which could be applied to someone with a ridgid, narrow and stubborn view of the word and it's origins and what or who it applies to!!!

I think I'll just keep tormenting you on this lame trip you're on till fatigue sets in and I prevail by default!!! (grin)

I stand by the statement I made to JimRob in post #1047. A trucated version:

I'm pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, and absolutely against running a abortionist/gay rights RINO for President. (I'd also take that one step further than some freepers in that I'm ALSO absolutely against nominating abortionist/gay rights RINOs for major office in ANY state, regardless of whether it "voted for Obama" I don't think we need to sell our soul to "win".) I'm a charter member of the VRWC, couldn't be more proud, and have one of those cool FreeRepublic themed "VRWC" cards in my wallet.
I'm also a practicing Christian, consider myself devout (I attend church when I can), but I wouldn't describe myself as a "fundamentalist" or "religious right". (one of the few times I think Ann Coulter was spot-on was when she said conservatives in the upper northern states aren't comfortable with the label "religious right" attached to us , regardless of how religious we are) I am a hardcore social conservative, but not because of my religion (for example my church was adamantly opposed to the Iraq war, whereas I supported it).
I have no intention of joining "Darwin Central" for the same reason I have no intention of joining the "American Association of Geologists" even though I believe in the theory of continental drift. Not my thing.

But for the record, I also agree with the statement Behemoth the Cat made before being banned:

"I am also a Christian who thinks “evolution” has been scientifically demonstrated. Most Christians think similarly. The problem is... the zeal of one, small breed of creationists - the Young Earth creationists, who cannot reconcile science with faith (as the mainstream Christianity managed to do several hundred years ago, on the occasion of geocentrism). It's sad that the FR founder has subscribed to the view... professed only by some FRINGE Protestant sects, defines one's conservatism and faith, and denies Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans... the name of Christians"

I certainly hope that won't get me banned. I've been a member in good standing of this forum for a decade. I supported JimRob when he banned the Rudybots that were being disruptive and spoke out against the freepers pushing for Romney 2012. I whole heartedly agree with the goals of this forum. But I also agree with the idea that freepers who believe in creationism have no right to continually bash those who feel otherwise as "non Christians". I wish the mods would crack down on that more.

Wasn't it during the Huckabee campaign that we hearing on this forum about how it was so important not to let the "evangelical types" alone dictate who's a good Christian and what the GOP stands for?

I dont have to give up when I already won.
