Re: Fundamentalism Will Be Curable!!!

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?"

  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

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

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
