The video demonstrated that there are some really stupid things in the Bible. If we all stoned our children for swearing at us, overpopulation would definitely not be an issue. You complained that Ethan called religious fundamentalists (lets go to the dictionary again, my preference is Chambers - fundamentalism noun in religion, politics, etc: strict adherence to the traditional teachings of a particular religion or political doctrine.) nuts. But the fact of the matter is any religious fundamentalist of any of the Abrahamic religions are nuts. If they're not, they're not really fundies.

Well I had to stop watching that video, because it was offensive. It may not be offensive to you, maybe you really don't care.
Al-Qaida is seen by some people as being "fundamenalist." And that is my problem with the word "fundamenalist" being used in this thread about 9/11.
That is the problem with the word "fundamentalism" because it has become to be a pejorative to anyone who "adheres" or follows a religion regardless if it is peaceful or not. So if one is spiritual in any way one is being lumped together with Christian fundamanlists and Al-Qaida.
If you are an atheist fine. But don't lump everyone together who practices a religion as nuts. Because every other religion out there is not the same.
