Do Fundamentalists (actually) Follow Jesus?

About this episode

Every Christian fundamentalist on the planet, of course, claims that they follow Jesus. Avidly. But do they?

Why do so many seem to overlook or ignore many of Jesus' key teachings? Surely they know what he said about loving the enemy and the foreigner? Why do they claim that Jesus said things he never, actually, talked about (many of the most pressing social questions fundamentalists are keen on)?

Is being a fundamentalist these days less about believing the "fundamental" doctrines of the faith and more about having the correct social and political views? What would Jesus make of Falwell and his Followers?
