I think we all understand what "being a Fundy" means. It means a Biblical Literalist, among other things.
I don't think so. I'd say that I'm much more of a literalist than you are.
It's just bizarre that you take the talking snake literally but you don't take Jesus' words literally.

It is well documented that many people changed or were changed because of Jesus influence in their lives.
No it isn't. The evidence shows that there are more believers than unbelievers in prison.

What was it about early Christians,for instance, that was perceived as a threat, apart from refusing to bow to some egotistical Caesar?
What makes you think they were perceived as a threat?

Why were Christians used as human candles and burned?
Why did Christians burn heretics?

What possible inner reason would the secular authorities---who were perceived as Deities themselves by the masses,have for this strong hatred of Christ, Christianity, and professing believers?
Again, what makes you think that "strong hatred" existed?

The fact that so many people throughout time have spent so much energy attempting to discredit and disprove Christian beliefs and dogma.
And Christians have spent so much energy trying to discredit and disprove the beliefs of other religions.

Do we see as much zeal aginst Buddhism? Judaism? Islam?
Yes.
Phat writes:
Now I will grant that some Christians themselves oppose Islam, though by and large seem more favorable towards Judaism. Why is that?
Because that's what the apologists tell them to think.
Come on. We've been through all of this over and over and over again. There is nothing unique about Christianity.
