Christian fundamentalism is mostly about afterlife insurance. These are people who are obsessed with death, not the overall message of Christianity. Just look at the success of the "Left Behind" series and the stuff that fundamentalists talk about. This is the chief difference between the fundies and the liberal/progressive currents. The latter understand that the message of Jesus was about social justice and helping the poor, whereas fundies have a selfish interest in making sure that their souls are "saved" after they die.

Jerry Springer has a talkshow on Air America. I just heard a soundbite commercial where he said "Jesus was a liberal". Sounds like a good bumper sticker for today.
