Once upon a time you could tell a fundie by their suit and somber expression. They would normally be found outside venues trying to stop people getting in to x, y, or z which was the work of the devil. Alternatively you could hear them going for the doomsday fire and brimstone approach, trying to scare people into heaven.

These days it appears it's all an ickle different. From observing Todd Bentley , the guy who heckled Gene Robinson in the middle of his sermon yesterday (see BBC article here ), and the stereotype of the fundie in Greek it appears they are more likely to resemble a metalhead 6th former (you know the Iron Maiden old skool type, rather than a death metal speedfreak which Todd Bentley sort of gets closest to).

Note re this post: I am using "fundie" in it's loosest sense, rather than looking for it's proper technical meaning and yes I know this is a simplistic over generalisation, but hey I'm a Christian; that's what we do ;)
