As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“This context is one of the few in which I would use the word fundamentalist for myself. …someone who believes in the ‘fundamentals’ of the faith—the historicity of the biblical accounts, the Virgin Birth, the substitutionary atonement, the bodily resurrection, a visible and physical Second Coming” - CToday
“The problem is that religious authorities — the voices journalists quote – keep pinning this label on others. Thus, one expert’s ‘evangelical’ is another’s ‘fundamentalist.’” - GetReligion

Sucking on a cigar and casting his fishing line into the pond, my New Age cousin informed me that Critical Mass was going to happen in the year 2000. When I asked what he meant, he explained that the forces of good (as he defined them) were finally going to outnumber and overcome the forces of evil.
“When I asked my fundamentalist teachers and mentors how to reconcile portions of the Bible with each other I was harshly put down as trying to use reason on what is essentially beyond reason.” - Roger Olson
