Fundamentalist Christians?

6/9/2015

How do you feel about fundamentalist Christians?
You'd have to define "fundamentalist" for me to tell you what I think. If by fundamentalist you mean those who believe the Bible is the infallible word of God . . . I might remind all those people that they cannot rightly interpret the Bible if they do not understand the actual language of the Bible. Translations are really tricky: "Abba" does not mean Father and literally translated "Heaven" is simply sky.

About Janet:

Janet DeLong, PhD, is a philosophical writer. She'd tell you that is by default, we know it's by design. While her perceptions are not always comfortable, they are always
intriguing.

Why am I answering your questions?
I'm answering, in part, because it amuses me that my response to that question could be just as cryptic: "Maybe I'm not." That lets me laugh. Truth is, words really do hold power. How language is used to communicate, all the words, phrases, sentences, intrigue me.

It has always been a challenge to be able to communicate my truth on every single level I can think it. I've actually accomplished that twice, in two sentences. The best sentence I've ever written: "pi will id." And the truth: "When you finally understand yourself a particle, you wave."
