So was Dad. As far as I recall, our whole family, except for 2 <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">unchurched<\/span> uncles, were radical fundamentalists who professed a <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">na\u00efve<\/span> belief in the whole Word of God. And here\u2019s the bizarre part: Not one of us misfits has been observed to strap a belt of explosives to ourselves and blow ourselves up in a crowded bus terminal. That\u2019s because of a little-known fact, namely, that Christian fundamentalists typically exercise their religion and influence the political process peacefully.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All of the founders of our faith were fundamentalists, without exception. For their pains, they were martyred. Yet their reward was eternal life.<\/p>\n<p>Most pastors today are pathetically running after earthly comfort, denying the tenets of their faith and their Christian identity, and denying Christ when such is convenient. The earthly comfort they garner for this is their reward.<\/p>\n<p>But a faithful remnant is still there, and will gain eternal life. Quite possibly, with the help of the Almighty, they will also lead our nation to righteousness. Should they succeed, against all odds, we can confidently ask: If God be for us who can be against us?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #990000;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I also am also one of those Fundamentalists, Evangelicals, Bible thumpers or whatever people call true Christians these days.
