So much doublespeak hypocrisy. Everything you said about Islam applies to Christianity, and nothing that you said about Christianity means shit.

Christianity is really about the unmasking of what we now know as religion. This produces a freedom from all religiosity, all idols, all gods.
So christianity is about freedom
from the christian god?

I think Hadanelith summed it up rather well.
I would just add that Sells has no right to speak for my beliefs. In my beliefs you will find no idols, tired or otherwise, and, while not anxious for death, I am not afraid of death.
Also, freedom from all religiosity and freedom from all gods makes for non-Christianity. It would certainly have to be \"radical Christianity\" to be free of God/Jesus.

Radical Christianity is the only answer, dudes and dudettes.

I'm really not quite sure how this is fundamentalist at all, but its not exactly a shining example of Christian intellectualism.
Oh and Triumphalism is a real word.

verrrrry interesting. Written like sense and yet reads like fundy. Truly a fascinating dichotomy.

That's not Christianity, that's atheism. It was our idea first.

Radical Christianity involves blowing up abortion clinics and ESCR labs as opposed to killing civilians... oh wait. :p
The motives may be different, but terrorism is still terrorism.

How about 'Religion is a nutshell'?
EDIT: Not for this one, perhaps in future.

'radical Christianity' - the Christianity you have when you're not having Christianity!

Um, no, Christianity is no different than Islam besides semantics.

So, radical xianity is about changing things legislatively? That doesn't make it much better.

Welcome to American Taliban, where the only religion allowed is our brand of Christianity, women and children have no rights, and any dissent is punishable by death.
Jihad!

\"...the same human triumphalism and belief in progress.\"
I thought religious fundamentalism was all about putting a stop to progress.

This has got to be worth a solid nomination for the \"Most Knowledgeable Critique of Another Religion\" Award. He refers to both Islam and \"secularism,\" and he gets neither one right; heck, he doesn't even get his OWN right in the comparison, so perhaps the word \"Another\" could just be dropped from the award name on this one!
