Fundamentalist Christians & Atheists: Identical Twins!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Question. Why is unwarily-brainwashed fundamentalism so rampant
among Atheists, Christians, and other "fundie"-style religions?
When you compare their beliefs, as expressed in their own words,
it is astonishing how much alike they are. Wasn't it Hal Lindsey
who said that the line that divides fundamentalist Atheism from
fundamentalist Christianity is "finer than frog's hair" or some-
thing to that effect? It really is difficult to tell them apart.

They are nearly indistinguishable, fundie Christians and fundie
Atheists. For example, both groups fear all things supernatural.
It's like they have no insight into anything that isn't mundane.
No supernatural experience, no supernatural understanding, nada.
Any Christian or Atheist who admits to having such supernatural
experiences and understanding, obviously isn't a fundamentalist,
as holds true for such gifted souls of any religious persuasion.
But let's talk about those who don't, fundie Xians and Atheists...

The one group calls all knowledge and experience regarding the
supernatural "tricks of the devil", "Satanic", "mental illness",
ad nauseam. Whereas the other group calls the very same things
"claptrap", "nonsense", "mental illness", dittos ad nauseam ad
infinitum. Just as a rose is a rose, bull**** is bull****. And
fundamentalism, bull****, by any other name stinks just as bad.
Are the fundamentalist Jews, Muslims, et al guilty of the very
same sins of ignorance? You bet they are! (see Leviticus 5:17).

So, the only difference between the two groups is their choice
of words to describe the supernatural and all matters related
thereto. Neither group has one clue what they're talking about,
so they rely on group-think to support their servile stupidity.
No independent thought permitted. No questioning their worldly
so-called "authorities". Do as your told, believe what we tell
you, and don't think for yourself. That describes both groups.
They'll say "the bible says this", even though they're quoting
pitifully oversimplified, "dumbed-down" translations for their
fundamentalist minions. The other group will selectively quote
from the very same "bible-for-dummies" translations, when they
think it suits them, even though they don't believe a word of
it, regardless of the translation quoted. Neither group quotes
from the Latin Vulgate, but always from "dumbed-down" versions.
Or when they quote words or phrases from the original Greek or
Hebrew (with smatterings of Aramaic), they'll claim "this word
means this", even though the ancient author had a *far* better
understanding and profound comprehension of the subject matter.

For example, try holding an intelligent discussion with either
group about ancient mythology, astrology, tarot, souls, karma,
reincarnation, ghosts, hauntings, UFOs, or anything you can
think of that might fall into the category of "supernatural",
and you'll always get the same, autonomic, knee-jerk decrial.
All things called "occult", all things called "supernatural",
by the fundamentalists, are called "evil", or else are called
"rubbish", etc. Both groups become very apprehensive when you
bring up any such "forbidden" subject matter. It's FORBIDDEN!

The funny part is, Atheists are predictably quick to protest
with something like "that's against Christianity!" "How dare
you talk favorably and God-forbid knowledgeably about things
which are officially verboten to be practiced by Christians!"
Of course, the fundie Christians say exactly the same thing.
You see? Their own words prove that both groups share a great
deal in common, and a great deal more than they care to admit.
And I won't even get into what they believe about Jesus Christ,
not here. I'll write another article dedicated to that subject.

Boy, won't these fundamentalist Christians -and- fundamentalist
Atheists be surprised as holy ever-livin' Hell at Judgment Day,
and die in shame of identical causes. In fact, pretty much the
whole fundamentalist world is about to be in for one very rude
awakening. Think of it as an apocalyptic "attitude-adjustment".

"ecce venit cum nubibus et videbit eum omnis oculus et qui eum
pupugerunt et plangent se super eum omnes tribus terrae etiam
amen"--Apocalypsis 1:7, editio Vulgata
