It's the ones that pounce, those that do not allow my viewpoint or opinion, those that grind on the differences we have rather than building from what we have in common, THEY are nothing but fundmentalists and fanatics. I describe fundamentalists as people who use anything they can in their school of thought to limit rather than expand. If I have grown, moved past and assimilated something into my beliefs, it is because I have "backslidden". If I don't accept an argument, it is my "pride" or I trust in my "own wisdom". I don't have anything against normal accomodating fellow Christians/humans, they aren't "fundamentalists" to me.
