Re: Not a culture war like in the US (none / 0)

It just occurred to me that a way to avoid confusion and misunderstanding on this matter is to reserve "fundamentalist" for "post-Darwinian" literalists, so that Luther and Calvin were literalists, but not fundamentalists.

Re: Not a culture war like in the US (none / 1)
