Last time i tried to build a bridge to said fundamentalist family member, i mentioned exactly this and it was apparantly enough for said member to flip out on me the first chance he got. These people have a very narrow interpretation of the bible. In fact, so narror they can't understand how anyone could ever see the bible differently than they do. They KNOW that there isnt any other way to look at it than the way thhey do. If you want a fundamentalists christians respect, its not enough to "believe" - you have to believe in the way they do. If not, you could be a muslim or hindu or satanist and it would be the same...

They even have a hard time accepting different christian confessions....
