You can call you what ever you want, I’m not to stuck on definitions. Does not change that I think your stance on abortion does not make to much sense.
So then why do you keep trying to define me as a “Christian fundamentalist” when your definition of that is basically someone who’s just a normal Nicene Christian, and not a heretical offshoot?
Because that’s how that word is used? People who take Bible/teachings literally. Maybe you are not aware but at least in Europe a lot of Christians don’t take the whole thing literal. I have good friend who is Catholic but she does not take the Bible and the teachings literal.
I literally live in Europe. And what do you mean by the “whole thing literal”, would that include taking the creation story as literal 6 24 hour long days and the patriarch ages literally? Because if so, then I don’t take the whole Bible literally and I am not a fundamentalist.
Does your good friend believe that Jesus physically and literally resurrected?
No, she also does not believe in a bearded guy who created everything, which makes sense since she is a biologist.
In general fundamentalism refers to people taking religious texts and teaching as literal. You take the story of Jesuses resurrection and wonders literal ( at least that is my impression) - so to me you are a Christian fundamentalist. Which is just a fancy way to say that you take the story of Jesus literal.
Also our dialogue might get world record for the use of the word literal.
Nope, there are Christians that don’t take the Bible literally. And no you are not the judge of who can call themselves Christian.
Then I’m a pro-choice who believes Abortion is wrong and shouldn’t be legal. Because I believe contraception should be legal

So in what way is she “Catholic” if she doesn’t believe in God 👁️👄👁️
People believe in god in quite different ways. Your literal interpretation of Jesuses life is not the only possibility.
