Mars, that article was written in 1908, why don't you pick something a little more current before working yourself into a froth.

Do the Buddha boys still sacrifice animals or have they put those superstitions behind them?

Thanks for the great link, where did you find such an interesting resource, surely not on your own.

(Edit: I rushed through, and didn't peek at the site. I reacted to your characterizations. I will comment on it directly in the next response).

I have never personally spoken to anyone who used such terms (I mean, I never heard them). Obviously, it is possible to do so. I do not think it is usual, though, even among more typical Christians. Most of the orthodox Christians I have known well, though, have been members of mainstream denominations, especially Catholic, Episcopalian, Lutheran, and Methodist. I do not, in fact, know well a lot of fundamentalists. I do not, though, consider fundamentalism to be as powerful or threatening as some people do.
