This is something I've always found annoying. It seems as if anyone who practices a religion is instantly a fundamentalist. It makes me cringe honestly. I've been in dozens of roundtables and studies on religion in university, and have even met seminarians who take more pragmatic approaches to Biblical interpretation. One of my best friends from high school is a Lutheran minister now with very social liberal views; and upon asking him how he handles the Bible's stance on homosexuality, he literally responded "The Bible says a lot of things."
I suppose pushing idealogies into two opposing groups makes things easier to digest...though it'd be nice if people were more open minded to the world around them.
There are two types of peoples in this word. Fools, and those who realize that there are far more than two types of people in this world.
