Citations: 1990 [paradis@crater.ZK3.DEC.COM (Jim Paradis)] Usenet: soc.motss (Feb. 20) “Re: Queers And Jungle Coons”: Actually, after the quake I kind figured that the Christian Fundagelicals would jump all over this point. 1990 [secbh@cunyvm.bitnet] Usenet: soc.motss (Sept. 20) “How Can We Trust the Christians?”: I have come to the point, based on reports such as the one above, from regularly reading the postings in talk.religion.christian and talk.religion.miscellaneous as well as from watching the fundagelical programs on television that for me it is no longer possible to just oppose specific noxious positions taken by groups of Christians. 1999 [Hugh Dunne] Usenet: comp.lang.perl.misc (Mar. 29) “Re: Why do we like Perl?”: Plus the attitude of many of the regulars in this group is very “fundagelical"—anyone who doesn’t accept that perl is the one true language is a heretic, and you should never use anything other than perl regardless of the application. 2003 Brian Heath heathbar66.livejournal.com (Akron, Ohio) (Dec. 13) “saturday morning thoughts…”: I was channel-surfing past some religious shows on TV today—and I realize that a lot of fundagelical preachers love to use the Book of Revelation as a tool to try scaring people.
