What is a fundamentalist Christian?
In recent times, the term "fundamentalist" has become commonly used by the news media to refer to any religious group whom they consider to hold radical views. We may recall frequent references to the mid-east Islamic fundamentalists who have been viewed as fanatics, and often responsible for acts of terrorism.
Similarly, liberal society uses the term fundamentalist to identify any Christian whom they consider to be an extremist. Generally, they classify a Christian as a radical fundamentalist if they merely believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible, if they hold views against sexual permissiveness, homosexuality, abortion on demand, or any views which are politically incorrect.
From the Christian perspective, fundamentalist has traditionally referred to any follower of Christ who believes that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and who believes in its literal interpretation and fundamental teachings. The fundamental Christian believes in the experience of the "new birth" which occurs when faith is placed in Christ as Savior and Lord. To the world this may be viewed as radical, but is very basic to the Christian faith.

Today the word "fundamentalist" definately does carry a negative quality to it but it's just another sign of the times. I was accidentally watching The Fantastic Mr. Fox the other day at my sister's house and this animated movie is geared for kids. What a piece of garbage. One scene had the fox family sitting doing that yoga chant thing for meditation. Never would the creators of this movie have a prayer circle. Everything against God is good and acceptable today.
