Interesting, but does not compute.

well, I suppose I could see being called a fundie very insulting if you were actually a reasonable Christian person. Most people who are ever called fundies are very very far from reasonable.

Which is why we don't just attach the label to Christians, and the ones we do do not represent all of Christianity, which we are aware of by the way.

I can't say that it's not a Fundie if I agree with the statement because yes, calling an intelligent reasonable Christian a Fundie is equivalent to calling an intelligent, reasonable African American (or any other person of color for that matter) a Nigger.
However, this person practically called themselves a Fundie, and I see no proof that he's not; therefore he is.

Yes, of course, the proper terminology is Fucking Fundie.

Meh. I can see the fundyism in this, but it hardly appears to be site-worthy to me.

I imagine those who say it's worse use the N word themselves.

No, no it really isn't.
I'm a Christian, and yes I'd be a little irked if I were called a Fundie; but I would *not* compare it to being called a nigger. They're really not comparable in the slightest.

Conversely, for a pharisee to call himself a Christian, is an insult to Christians.

Yeah, when I see Christians enslaved, forced into separate schools, and banned from non-Christians' lunch counters and restrooms, I'll be more inclined to believe you.

Unless the fundie earned the name. Then it's like calling the slow child who leaves for school every day in the short bus a fucking retard. Mean, but honest.

You are stupid. "Some" are even more stupid.

Question. For a person who calls a black person nigger, all they are niggers, that is, all black people are bad by default. Not all Christian are fundies. To be a fundy you have to be a really IDIOT, CLOSE MINDED and IGNORANT individual. And not just Christian. You can also be Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist and.......atheist, why not?

No, not the same thing.
Calling someone a nigger is being insulting about someone's race, which is merely an accident of birth. A person's race has nothing to do with them as a person.
However, fundie is insulting someone's BELIEFS. People are totally responsible for their own beliefs and conclusions and reflects you as an individual person. Race does not reflect on you as a person.
Sure, many people's beleifs and conclusions are heavily influenced by other people, but nobody can force you to beleive anything.

It is unacceptable bigotry to judge someone based on their skin colour.
Judging someone based on their being stupid, eschewing rationality and instead believing bronze age myths, however, is perfectly acceptable.

If you don't like being called a fundie, don't be a fundie.

Another variation of the fundie whine "They're persecuting me!"

They call themselves "fundamentalist Christians." We got sick of saying it and shortened it.
The "n" word is entirely made up by white people who defended the enslavement of other people, and used now to show what a racist twat the speaker is (or some misguided attempt to "take back" the word without the "r" at the end).
Anyway, being a fundie is a personal choice, and however offensive what someone might say against you, it still doesn't qualify as racism. Religious discrimination, maybe. And perhaps we should just turn the other cheek and let the fundies have a monopoly on that, but making fun of fundies is just plain enjoyable.

This fallacy doesn't work.
Beliefs=/=Race
Being black is not a matter of choice. Being fundamentalist is.
You do the math.
