For many science is a religion, so is humanism. I’m sad to hear you reject religion out of hand.

Perhaps the global reality of religion says something. There is a spiritual element in man. And I believe Christianity is the one religion which is both historically and experientially true.

May you find joy in the cross of Christ, one day….

Their example of faithfulness to the fundamentals of the faith are a constant reminder to the rest of us that interdenominational unity should never come at the expense of the truth. Another benefit of fundamentalism is that their theological world isn't often complicated with debates like open theism, covenantal nomism, or postmodernism. Although some of them do compromise with commercialized (read, "worldly" ) worship music. Boy, those were the days . . . !

His humility is an example of what we should desire in ourselves. You came from a fundamentalist background; I came from a Primitive Baptist background. They are very similar in some respects. We both probably owe more to those backgrounds than we realize. Of course, we owe all to the grace of God. I'm as thankful that He brought me out as I am that I was ever there.
