The Purpose of these Presentations

1. To show how ridiculous the claims of Biblicalinerrancy made by Christian Fundamentalistsare.(Islamic & Hindu Fundamentalists make similarclaims for their Religions)

3. To show that if you believe that every word of theBible is literally true, then you have to believe in aFlat Earth.

5. To provide ammunition for those trying to fight of theunwanted attention of aggressive FundamentalistEvangelists who will not take No for an answer.

Purpose (Continued)

Many Christian Fundamentalist groups often seek outthe most vulnerable groups such as Foreign Students

who may be feeling lonely and isolated in a strange

new Country and feign friendship in order to lure them

into their orbit.

Such people are often unprepared for the unfamiliar,

well rehearsed and devious conversion techniques that

are likely to be used against them.

This is why they are selected as easy targets

Christianity does not equal

Fundamentalism

3. Many often try to monopolise the word Christian

and use it in a narrow and exclusive way.

5. In reality, they are a small but very vocal minorityof the Worlds 2 Billion Christians.

7. Christian Fundamentalism is very well organisedwith enormous resources and very extreme views.

9. They often use very clever, but misleadingarguments that do not stand up to close scrutiny.

Bibles used

It is very hard to find a version of the Bible that is acceptable to everyone.

Protestant Fundamentalists & Mormons tend to prefer the King James

Version. Jehovah's Witnesses use the New World Translation.
