You believe that by strictly adhering to the Bible's teachings and principles, you will attain spiritual salvation and a deep, personal relationship with God.
Christian Fundamentalism is a conservative movement within the broader context of Christianity that primarily arose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries among British and American Protestants. The movement is characterized by a strict belief in the inerrancy of the Bible, the literal interpretation of its texts, and the assertion of traditional Christian beliefs against the perceived threats posed by modernism.

Can you share an instance where a compromise between belief and science was needed?
@9L2K4JM1mo1MO
The notion that a compromise needs to be struck between 2 core values of mankind (faith in the unknown, exploration of the world around us) ignores that the two feed into each other and have done so for thousands of years.
@9L2HFFG1mo1MO
I believe that both have their own separate spheres that need to discuss more

Sex before marriage is something that just isn't that interesting. As a kid in highschool I was looking for stuff like that but then I found Jesus and he helped me see that life is so much better if you just enjoy it.

Does the focus on an imminent return of Christ alter a fundamentalist's perspective on long-term issues like climate change?
@9H4S7PFProgressive5mos5MO
I think that religion, while socially beneficial in my opinion, should be kept out of real world discussions like things on climate change.
@9H4TMXW5mos5MO
i don't think climate change has anything to do with the coming of christ.
@9H4TH4X5mos5MO
yes, they believe if the earth gets to a point of death beyond what can be helped by humans, that the Christ will just come save them
@9H4T9645mos5MO
Yes it can hinder the thoughts of our planet changing with the belief that Christ will come back at some point.

If you've encountered a religious belief that contradicts your own values, how did you deal with the situation?
@9J2CX724mos4MO
When I encounter a religious belief that contradicts my own, I am respectful and understanding of people's right to choose their practices. No matter what I think, it is not in my realm of control to be violent or rude to others on the basis of religion. I am a Christian and agree with the law of God, but what others say and do is beyond my business.
@9J2CXJ44mos4MO
The bible is clear in what it says but the interpretation will change based on when its read and who is reading it.
@9J2CSNQ4mos4MO
I respect the other ideology, but I may not agree with it.

@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you approach the challenge of explaining your beliefs without offense?
@9L5XY7S1mo1MO
I think people just need to not speak or cause issues of things like speaking religion in public and if they do they should be escorted off the premises
@9L5XQGG1mo1MO
It is important that a person should be able to reasonably explain their beliefs without fearing offense from another American as long as they are being respectful and honest.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you approach topics you're unsure about from a faith perspective?

How do communal religious observances strengthen or challenge your personal convictions?
I do not like it when they are trying to force it on you, but i do not mind religion.
@9JFGVBCRepublican3mos3MO
I think religion is a personal choice but should not be diminished but those who appose.

How does tradition play a role in your life as a young person today?
@9L4R8GX1mo1MO
I am a Christian, Conservative. Tradition is important to me and being a conservative christian I have very strong morals and beliefs.
@9L4R7QM1mo1MO
Tradition barely plays a role in my life. I'm not really part of any large groups that have vast traditions and whatnot, and generally oppose such as there are cultures or groups with traditions that appear to me as harmful.
