What fundamentalists believe

This is a dKos diary by an ex-fundamentalist, ex-Republican providing his view of what the Fundamentalists believe and generally how it all fits together. (here) I find it extremely interesting, and it seems to fit with what I have observed as a non-fundamentalist Christian.

There are two key points to make about this. First, the Fundamentalists consider themselves to be under attack (to include by those of us who are not fundamentalist Christians.) Second, this is more to determine the political implications of their beliefs than the theological aspects.

The author does a good job of explaining why he is writing this, and what he thinks it is good for. I have found it very illuminating. If you do also, and have an interest in history, go look at Karen Armstrong's book in the right-hand column of this publication called "The Battle for God: A history of Fundamentalism." It covers Fundamentalism as a subject in all three of the religions of the book (also known as the Desert religions.)
