The fundamentalist mind

Fundamentalism isn’t consigned to the conservative/evangelical wing of American Christianity. But, there are issues without doubt. David French writes:

The fundamentalist mind is largely free of doubt. It presumes to know the mind of God not just on the core elements of the faith — the life, death and resurrection of Jesus — but on virtually all matters that touch on Christian faith. Fundamentalists believe they know exactly how God wants you to vote, to raise your kids, and even which movies and television programs he wants you to watch.

There may be a way through the morass. French’s article (HERE) is an interesting read to be sure. We have to find ways to express our thoughts and struggles without being branded and rejected.
