Fundamental Christianity does not equal Fundamental Islam. No, no, no.

I know because I'm a fundamental Christian, in a very traditional Baptist Church, the Bible-Beltest of the Bible-Belty. And I don't want to kill people because they aren't Christians. I'm in freaking medical school to HELP people, for goodness sakes.

In the words of SarahK, "Wake up."

I am so tired of our stupid, "let's not offend anyone" government (except our President, who actually knows what he's dealing with and is dealing with it as best he can, given the idiots in Congress) wringing their hands and worrying that we're mistreating these Islamofascist terrorists, while said terrorists go around and PLAN and MURDER INNOCENT PEOPLE, based on a quote that some very, very dead guy said about a billion years ago. Good GRIEF! In a related story, Rosie O'Donnell has said something very untrue on one of her first days on The View, which is an idiotic career move and is just idiotic in general. (Also? I love Elisabeth Hasselbeck.)

And then there's this "documentary" that I read about yesterday, when sounded interesting from the title, but I should have known ... Jesus Camp. In particular, this quote:

Cut to the flickering images of children writhing in a spiritual trance on a chapel floor while being hectored about the glory of dying for Christ, and one knows exactly where the first Christian suicide bombers will come from.

No. No. No. NO. This thing that is being crudely described? Is CHURCH CAMP. I went to church camp, and am I a suicide bomber? Noooooo. Do I want to kill people who don't share my faith? NO! Christ teaches us to love people, and if they don't know Him as Savior, we are to share the Gospel with them - not KILL them and send them to Hell! Lord, help us. And there IS glory in dying for Christ - but that's referring to martyrs that are killed by evil people (i.e., the Islamofascist terrorists) because they won't denounce Christ, not people who fly planes into buildings and kill thousands of innocent people. That's not "martyrdom" as far as Christianity is concerned. I've heard muliple sermons that mentioned the glory of dying for Christ, and not ONE of them mentioned guns, bombs, or blowing up one's shoe.

In other news, my subacromial bursa is inflamed, and I'm on prednisone which is totally going to keep me up all night. Bleargh.
