this is the only definition of fundamental I can relate to. I can live with it and apply it to my life.

The isms and ists don't worry me one bit. I cannot control how others think. I see lot's of stuff in the outside world that does not fit into my inside world. To me fundamental means basic and perhaps bottom line like the lowest note in a scale. The earth is fundamental to my exsistance here or so it seems to me. If something seems right to me I am sure I will run up on something that will make it seem wrong too...

I would like to just be at peace and not be concerned with who is right or wrong because I know eventually they will become the opposite of what my judgement is. Compassion for the ones I disagree with carries me a long way towards my goal of peace for myself...

I know several people who claim to have had a perfect childhood and their life "looks" very chaotic to me and others who had it really tough growing up that "look" really together. My filters and judgements create my beliefs. Many so called "religionist" have decided that if I do not keep the same rituals as they do then I am not good enough or something. I just don't care.

I know God loves me, you, the fundamentalist, athiest, agnostic, ect. It is the only thing I am somewhat certain of. Remebering that can help me find peace.

In my mind you are right or wrong because of my judgement and my belief if it puts me ill at ease does walking in the other direction whatever that is bring peace? Hopefully I remember my own goal of peace. I can go to a holy roller church and feel the energy, sing, speak in tongues, agree, confess, even interpet and have a good old time is there something wrong with that because my friend had what she thinks is a bad experience in a holly roller church? No there is nothing wrong and everything wrong because somehow it is evident htat my friend doesn't believe it is fun-da-mental or is too fun-da- mental. I do not want to leave the FUN out of fundamental.
