Agreed, but source is missing.
That's Christianity. Fundamentalism, in most instances, is used as a negative qualifier of Christianity. So I am not sure what you are trying to say (other than attempting to spin fundamentalism as a positive, which opposes how most Americans use it).
and now back to the original topic i pick B
and studies have shown it to be as accurate or more accurate than more respected sources like Encyclopedia Brittanica.
"As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. " (1 Cor. 14:33b-35 NIV).

Did you read that on Wikipedia?
Wikipedia gets a bad rap due to the fact that users have the ability to edit most postings there. However, according to arguably the most prestigious scientific journal, Nature, “Wikipedia comes close to Britannica in terms of the accuracy of its science entries” (1). In my own experience, I have also found Wikipedia to be very accurate when it comes to any subject that is not popularly controversial. And I have found Wikipedia to actually be at least as objective at reporting both sides of a popularly controversial subject as the mainstream media tends to be.If I find something there that seems incredulous, then I would check other sources to ensure its accuracy. But in general, I think that Wikipedia is worth trusting. 1 - http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v438/n7070/full/438900a.html
Quote from: drb1200 on September 05, 2010, 08:10:02 PMDating is when you kind of think a girl is kind of pretty, start going out.........and then dump her to move on to someone prettier.Quote from: Alex_Olijar on September 05, 2010, 10:05:19 PMFundamental=stretching the Bible further to suit your own agenda, synonym (kind of) with legalismBoth of these definitions are about equally laden with obvious bias. They are also both basically inaccurate representations of what those words mean to the majority of people who identify with them.

No, that's generally seen as hooking up. Dating is going steady with one girl for an extended period of time for the presumed purpose of attempting to determine if you could marry her by entering an arrangement similar to marriage yet extremely less stressful and relaxed.
What you described is dating for almost every decent Christian, so you just hate a word.

Mostly its for people who see dating as just a "fun time" or status rather than a way to find a partner for life. The thing is what they are doing is the same as dating. True courting is much different. Its pretty much integrating into the family, yes there is SOME (very little comparatively to dating) alone time, but the alone time is MUCH more controlled than a normal dating environment. EG: Sitting in a room with the door open with the family only a room or maybe two over. Courting is more getting to know the family and her together rather than just her.

That's what you want it to mean in order to attempt to claim you are not dating and instead courting.
