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?

Get the Monday Funday mug.A person, or usually group of assholes who think the term "freedom of speech" means "oppress everyone with your views". Being that, in 99.9% of all cases in which fundamentalists are involved, religion or otherwise, there is not a single shred of solid evidence to support their claim, they usually attempt to use catch-phrases like "pro-life" and are often cited as "politically correct". George Bush is living proof that fundamentalists have corrupted an already religiously oppressive nation by enforcing their opinions over others, without the benifit of popular vote or atleast a response of "Hey, if you don't like it, don't do it, and leave me the fuck alone." Most non-fundamentalists don't give a shit if their dollar bills say "In God we trust", as long as they can buy what they need to and live their own fucking lives, without constantly interfering with others'.
If I don't want to stand for the pledge, I shouldn't have to.
If a woman would rather have an abortion than; have a child she will resent, cannot support, had from rape, endanger her own life, etc... she should be able to.
If a person wants to get a divorce, because their significant other is a fucking dickhead, they should be allowed.
If someone believes that committing certian acts will condemn them to a firey hell, as based on an elaborate book of myth, they should be able to.
If someone commits an act described by a book of myth to be a sin, and they do not believe the fairytales described in said book, they shouldn't have to take shit for it.

Get the fundamentalist mug.One who believes in an idea as "fundamental," the absolute, literal truth, adheres to the ORIGINAL version of the idea, is prepared to take action based on that belief, and is unlikely to change their mind.
Often misdefined as "fanatic". A person can be a fanatic and a fundamentalist, or only a fundamentalist, or only a fanatic, or neither.
The action taken by a fundamentalist depends on the nature of their belief. It can be a personal action which affects no one else, or an action which affects tens of thousands of others, or something in between. Can be positive or negative.
Can apply to any religion or ideology, also of a method of or pertaining to fundamentals.

Two of the most common usages:
"islaamic fundamentalist" - generally stereotyped as jihaadist. Not necessarily so.
"christian fundamentalist" - generally stereotyped as bigoted and in-your-face. Again, not necessarily so.
And a correct but uncommon use:
Music teacher: "You need to learn your instrument's fundamentals before you can play solos."
Kid: "Teacher is a fundamentalist."

Get the fundamentalist mug.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.

Get the fundie mug.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!
