Fundamentalist
-
A person who takes their religion so literally and to such extremes that they [contradict] the very basis of their faith. They typically believe in a literal, [verbatim] interpretation of their [scripture]. They also have ridiculous, childish defenses to intelligent criticism of their beliefs that border on insanity. The level of hypocrisy and stupidity most of these people exhibit is truly profound.
Prime examples of fundamentalists are the [geniuses] who call themselves Christians and march around with signs that say GOD HATES FAGS, seriously suggest that the earth is 6,000 years old when an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence proves otherwise, or tell women that they are filthy when they are menstruating (because its in the Bible, you know).
Fundamentalists in general give religion a bad name. By definiition, it is impossible for any religion or belief structure that is centered on love, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness (most of the major religions are) to be anything but great. However, when [people watch] the news and see these dumbasses parading around with their THANK GOD FOR AIDS - FAGS GO TO HELL signs and calling themselves Christians, it tends to leave a [bad taste] in the mouth.
