Normal people don’t think of life in bipolar terms. But you are right, you are closer to this woman than us moderates.
Straight to the ad-hominem attacks…
You must have killer-arguments!
Wasn’t you applauding insult just a little while ago?
Clever!
But what was he insulting and what was insulted by you?
It wasn’t an insult what he wrote, it was an opinion. Well written and exaggerated to underline the point. I wasn’t insulting him either. I agreed that he, or the viewpoint he argued for, was closer to this womans mindset than that of moderate people, whom he wished to die. [/quote]
Closer to that womans ideas as in intellectually consistent?

Central theme to this sort of behaviour is a psychological disorder. The bit about avoiding questions is very accurate in that people with psychological disorders will gloss over anything that could possibly interfere with their erroneous beliefs.

And that is not true for “moderate religious” people in what way?

Really? What does?
Must a question have the benefit of having an easy, nay, comfortable answer?
And I allways thought the other kind was so much more fun…

English is my second language, let us try to work this out…
Fanatical religious people are at least consistent in their lunacy…
They swallow their religious scriptures, undoubtedly dictated or at least inspired by their God hook, line and sinker…
“Moderate” religious people just lie to themselves… They want to find a middle ground between “religious” superstition and cold painful reality…
Kind of a spiritual comfort zone…
A middle ground where fairytales do exist but reality is strong enough to feed and shelter us…
My point would be
A) fuck them if they dare to intrude into my life with that mumbo-jumbo bullshit and

Fire and brimstone. Ever hear of it? It was the dominant form of Catholicism in the South for many, many decades. Ask any religious, conservative old fart to tell you about “the good old days”.
The woman is a devout Christian who knows her scriptures well. She made Steve-O and Rainjack look like heathens.

You do realize that people on this forum avoid questions all the time, right? It happens regularly just about everywhere, especially on television. I don’t think that’s quite enough evidence to make a psych evaluation, Doc.
I thought she presented her case well, especially given the fact that H&C cut her off incessantly.

I think you are sadly confused (as usual).
The thought of “fire and brimstone” Catholicism in the south is quite amusing but entirely wrong.
Catholics are the TARGET of fire and brimstone sermons in the south.

Oops, you are correct. That was a rather silly error on my part. I should have said written Protestant Baptism rather than Catholicism. As you can tell, I just don’t know too much about religious denominations.

Exactly.
It is sad that when someone uses the now-popular phrase “hijacking their religion” there is really no hijacking going on at all, it is just honest faith in the basic dogmas of that religion, mainly “my holly book was written by my god, and as such is inerrant.”
It’s hard to understand how a person could become so cruel and cold and deceived. Satan has obviously been at work in this family.
I heard an interview with her a couple of weeks ago on the Christian radio show I listen to. The host was trying to corner her on her own sin. It was frustrating and sad to listen to her. She did not even understand the basics of the Christian faith. She just kept reverting to her lunatic ravings.

The christians did for many years…The inquisition, the crusades, the, massacre of the cathars, slavery, anti-semetic crimes, salem witch trials etc…
Also, are these people really Christian extremists? I mean correct me if I’m wrong but the bible clearly says god is intolerant of homesexuals and goes on further to condone the persecution of them.
