Alex Jones already had info about this a year ago...it was a press conference at the Pentagon with a scientist talking about a virus they can introduce to air,water,insects that when it infects humans it attacks part of the brain that is active more in religious extremists....the thing is that its the same part of the brain that is active and prompts you to run into a burning building to save a child ect....they were talking about using it in Muslim areas...I instantly thought "How long until instead of outlawing Christianity they just expose people to this and they just wont care any more?"

Probably the same geniuses that thought they could introduce a chemical agent that would make all the Iraqi soldiers get busy with each other.....

6 24 hour days of creation, men lived alongside dinosaurs, all of the animal species were in Noah's ark, the walls of jericho fell at the behest of trumpet blasts, jonah survived 3 days in the belly of the whale, elijah called fire from heaven, christ performed miracles, christ resurrected, people can supernaturally speak unknown languages, people are healed by prayer and the laying on of hands.

That's not a definition.

That's like asking me to define "red" and I say "cars are painted red. Chicks dig red cars"

Especially since you said RELIGIOUS fundamentalism and not Christian fundamentalism
