A fundamentalist; a Christian whose ideas are completely in-line with church dogma. Fundies, for the most part, do not think for themselves, and are often frighteningly evangelical.

A Fundamentalist. One who takes the Bible too literally. Some stories in the Bible are not true, they are only meant to prove a point. (Take creation for example. God did NOT create everything in 7 days and 7 nights...the story is there just so you understand that God created everything.)
Usually fundies are so extreme in their religious beliefs that they persecute others that do not believe the same way.

I hate it when fundies who support Bush are like "Pro-Bush, Pro-Christ, Pro-War, Pro-Life." How can you be both "Pro-War" and "Pro-Christ?"

fundamentalist. Especially Christian and mainly "non-denominational" and "born again" -- that is, "taken Jesus into his/her heart as his/her 'personal savior'" (saved from?!??) -- Usually pejorative -- used as a negative (as entries at this site show). Often used to express frustration with people who are unwilling to actually debate, especially with regards to religion.
It looks like the fundies are back in the news; this time they're trying to bring prayer back in public schools.

Person who believes the universe was literally created in 7 days, despite the fact that "day" is a unit of time dependent on the not yet created earth and sun, and time itself cannot exist independent of the not yet created space time continuum. Usually interprets scientific evidence to the contrary of his/her beliefs as Satan's trickery. Suspicious of gaining new knowledge, as it might lead down the road to hell. Typically believes every negative headline is more proof of the impending rapture.
I wonder if that fundie knows the Book of Revelations predicted the fall of the Roman Empire and not the end of the world?

If you're not a fundie born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being.

n. Short for fundamentalist. A person who generally holds to extremely Protestant-Christian, social/moral right-wing ideas. Often associated with the more evangelical denominations of Christianity.
They're all such fundies, it's hard to have an objective, open-minded discussion about any religious issue.

A judgemental teenage boy or girl (but usually girl) of the Fundamentalist Christian faith. She usually enjoys Christian music, going to church, and pretending she's read the Bible. This person hates everything and everyone with an opposing viewpoint on the origin or practice of Christianity. The fundie likes to hang out in groups of other Christians during science classes to ask if evolution is just a theory. When you try to have an intelligent conversation about religion with one, she will turn into an apathetic bitch who's only defense from being friends with you is her hate of free-thinking and her endlessly pissy attitude towards you and anyone else you've ever spoken to. Since being indoctrinated into the Christian faith by her cartoonishly close-minded parents (or other fundamentalists around her) from a very young age, that is all she knows and will openly deny any new ideas on the world even if they can improve countless lives and make the world a better place (Jesus is coming to get us in a few years. So what's the point?). If you ever try to read a book other than the Bible around her, get ready for a "Funder Storm with a chance of Pain" because you're going straight to hell. You must also never utter the words "talking snake", "Imagine", "contradiction", "Pro-Choice" or "atheist" in close proxitmity even if that is not your personal opinion. It really doesn't matter to them. They're doing God's work so expect an exorcism. And while you can have fundies as friends, be careful about Christianity. They can smell doubt like fear.
Dude, stop respectfully stating your opposing viewpoints on the subject of actually following Jesus' teachings of compassion, forgivness and love, divinity, science, religion and philosophy! The fundies will hate you despite their pre-packaged opinions being the exact opposite of anything in the actual Bible!
