"Fundamentalist", or "literalist" Christianity is, in effect, the only "true" Christianity, when one considers that, if left open to personal interpretation, the Bible can be construed as an authorization of just about anything, thus rendering "Christianity" meaningless. The simple act of reading the Bible and having your perspective on life mildly reformed makes you about as much a "Christian" as the simple act of reading Nineteen Eighty-Four and having my perspective on life mildly reformed makes me an Orwellist.

Forgive me for traipsing a bit off-topic here,
Are you pulling his chain? Are you kidding? I took a quick look at "The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC)" on wiki and I couldn't believe what I was reading,
not one good thing WBC had to say about any of the other Christian denominations. I think they are well passed extremist's veiw point on anything. I
wouldn't call them Christian, nor would I say they have an ideal of Christianity.
