Are Fundamentalist of any religion Addicts?

I agree with you 100%.

Fundamentalists of any religion that I have ever seen, Christianity or Islam, are addicted to their own laziness.

Think about it: what do insisting they're right, believing only they have the truth, clinging to their "made-truths," blind faith, hatred of rational thought/analysis of faith... what do they all have in common? They're all the easy way out.

To me, that's the core problem with any fundamentalist: following their man-made, society-based "religion" is a lot easier than having to do the hard work of doing what Jesus asked us to do: Love God and love each other as He did.

I see faith in an quite... complicated view. On one hand, I see faith as a sturdy subject giving human beings wish while they are down, objectives attempt for, and values to stick to. besides the shown fact that, this might nonetheless be performed with out faith yet some experience the choose of an end to their skill. on the full, i think faith hinders us as a species. maximum religions condemn human beings to a life-time of shock, lack of information, and bigotry. they are prepared to blindly persist with a being it particularly is malevolent in its very nature and a perpetual contradiction. Christians and Muslims are the proper examples of those. i'm no longer even specific how or why yet even nevertheless the two religions coach peace and recognition, history tells us that the two one in each of those have consistently and at as quickly as become the alternative. All in all, i think that many faiths are the bane of our existence and have not everywhere in a effective international.

I'm not a "fundie', but I'm a former addict who also has an IQ of 149, totally aced my college logic courses, and who realizes that first principles and sound reasoning lead me into truth. My diagnosis of your question? Just one long ad hominem with a dazzling side dish of gross generalization, topped with a generous helping of non-sequitur, and a total lack of logical appeal on any level.

Fundamentalists are what results when people are told what to think and aren't very intelligent. That is the only way you can believe the absurdities them accept. It's not an addiction.

It's kind of an addiction but more of a dependence. Their ability to think for themselves is damaged because someone else has been doing it for them for so long.

no. the fundies are not the wishy washy ones you can either sweet talk or run over. they have the ballez to stand there ground. you are just looking for a partner in crime in disrespecting someone you can't run over.

perhaps....

religion uses fear, guilt and shame to manipulate people. So at first, it's like it has power over you...

what's that thing that happens when hostages fall for their captors... it's like that... maybe an addiction

ban the fundies

No, it's NOT thinking that WE are right, it's KNOWING that GOD is right!

I think you're right.
