Comments on the Article
"The Historical Roots of America's Christian Fundamentalism"
May 30, 2002
Lance,
I do not intend to reply to your 12 page e-mail. I think I have spent enough of my time responding to your earlier post. I have better things to do with my time than to engage in a debate with you.

However, I am providing you with a list of links that I think rather succinctly respond to your major points.

On the reason for the Civil War

On those great, heroic, rich, southern, slave-owning, plantation owning, white guys who took up arms against their country to fight for "States Rights"
(Make sure to read Sections 3 and 4.)

On taking the Bible literally

On Christian Fundamentalism

On Christian Reconstructionism, the theological source for much Christian Fundamentalist Theology

On what the Bible says about abortion (Dear Reader, Please don't ask me how Lance managed to drag this topic into the conversation. I still haven't figured it out. Sunny)

On Separation of Church and State

and last, but not least, On Reading

Thank you for this opportunity to revisit this issue.

Sunny

Sunshine for Women encourages you to support our feminist sisters by purchasing their books, reading them, disseminating the ideas they contain, but most especially, by making their book available to our sisters, our daughters, and the community at large by requesting your school library, your public library, and area bookstores to carry their books. Remember it is not enough to write literature, history, and theology, we must pass these works on to future generations. Help us to preserve these works for a new generation by putting them on library bookshelves.
