Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes

The portion I want to focus on, today, is "the truth."
We hear the word "fundamentalist" today as if it were a dirty word.
It is applied to the terrorists, even though in most of the world they
are known as "extremists." How can one be both fundamental and
extreme? So, there must be an agenda behind the use of the term
fundamentalist. Do you want to know what that agenda is?
Christian fundamentalists believe God's word is true. God meant what
He said there. However, liberals of the day don't want to believe
anything is absolute. So, they must try to discredit any who disagree
(even though in doing so they proclaim their own view of pluralism
absolute). Their end goal is the pluralist society of Babylon, which
Daniel and others stood against. The problem? God is a jealous God,
and Jesus is the way (see another post on this later) to the Father.
So, pluralism ends in many that miss the truth and salvation.
And, that is the real tragedy, here.

Not that Voltaire might've actually said this, or written this,
but one of my favorite (in this case, undocumented) quotations
is loosely attributed to the world-famous philosopher Voltaire:
"Monsieur l'abbe, je deteste ce que vous ecrivez,
My sire of the abbot, I detest that which you write,
mais je donnerai ma vie pour que vous puissiez
but I would give my life for that you have the puissance
continuer a ecrire."
to continue to write.
--alleged by Norbert Guterman, editor of 'A Book of French
Quotations', to be from an original Voltaire letter dated
6 Feurier 1771, to M. le Riche. This quote is unconfirmed.
Whether the witty French philosopher ever wrote this or not, it
is an excellent point, that religious, scientific, intellectual,
philosophical, political, etc. disagreement promotes discussion
and understanding--among those who practice freedom of religion
and freedom of speech responsibly in the public forum.
As it stands today, Atheists strictly control the curriculum of
America's public schools, the courts, and generally control the
government. But "fundamentalists" like you are no better, since
you want your own particular view on Christianity to be imposed
as the law of the land. You leave no room for other Christians,
or Atheists, or Jews, or Muslims, or Hindus, or Buddhists, etc.,
who don't necessarily share (all of) your particular religious
beliefs, or convictions, interpretations and misinterpretations,
much less agree on how you're defining terms in the first place.
That's why we have the Universal Ten Commandments & Golden Rule,
which is the cornerstone of civilization. Civilized humans tend
to agree with these paramount Commandments, whereas uncivilized
humans tend to be uncivilized, and hold His Sermons in contempt.
