And if this discussion is so uninteresting to you, why did you bother? Methinks thou dost protest too much.
Ok, I'll bite again. Firstly, I'm not a lady :)
As long as you don't actually address any of my arguments, this exchange is not even discussion. It is merely arguments from me and demagoguery from you. For instance, how the media portrays "most christians" is utterly irrelevant to this discussion, neonmonk's initial post very clearly singles out the people responsible for the school debacles in Texas. So do I in my initial reply from you. You try to divert the subject of the discussion to something else.
I didn't miss the point that you made under those false premises in your second post either, you don't like the term "christian fundamentalists" because it carries negative connotations. It certainly does carry negative connotations, for very good reasons, all of which has absolutely nothing to do with suicide bombers. So, to be kind (this has absolutely nothing to do with our discussion, but you brought it in), please be specific: is the term "fundamentalist christians" incorrect in the context of people advocating creationism in schools? Why? (from previous experience you'll probably avoid to address this point if you reply).
Which alternative term do you propose that has the same meaning as "christian fundamentalists"? You have already stated that this term gives an overly negative impression of christian fundamentalists (for lack of a better term, awaiting your reply). So, provide a single term which covers the same definition. (You'll avoid this point as well)
From what I can tell it is actually a reasonably precise term. I explained why I deemed it legitimate in my first post, and you carefully avoided to address that in either of your follow-up posts (you will fail to address these as well in an eventual reply). Your reply to neonmonk was, after all, what sparked off my initial reply. Here, I'll quote it in full:
What about the vast majority of Christians who are not what you call "fundamentalists"? Oh, those don't exist, do they?
In that post you correctly implied that all christians are not fundamentalists. It doesn't have any relevance to neonmonk's post, which blames fundamentalists for pushing creationism in American public schools.
The reason why I find our discussion uninteresting at this point is that you weasel out of addressing any points in my previous posts. You complain that mainstream media is treating you unfairly, which I'm by no means convinced that they are. That you feel that the term is stigmatising, or that you feel that it doesn't apply to you in particular, is irrelevant as long as it is a precisely defined term which does, in fact, include the people in TFA. So, focus on answering the points I assert that you'll fail to address above, and we might have an interesting discussion.
