    A complete inability to articulate what the arguments against their own beliefs are. You see it on here all the time, some fundy starts spouting off about evolution even though they don't understand anything about evolution.

    Caedes,

    I suppose that SOME fundamentalists (especially those in leadership positions) are well aware and thus well able to articulate what the arguments against their belifs are about. But they deliberatedly choose to ignore, obfuscate and conceal those arguments. Those outside the leadership simply follow suit without questioning. But both are fundamentalist, I think.

    The problem is, of course, it is bloody easy to see OTHER people who are fundamentalists - but not recognize it in yourself.

    If you show that list to a typical JW (or other fundy), well over 90% of the time he won't recognize himself in the description.

    My test is simple.

    Are they willing to be wrong if the facts go against them?
