Tom Smith has written a great post on "A pathological condition of Christianity" where he quotes a definition of fundamentalist, including this gem:

“It chooses those parts of Scripture which fit in with the dominant ideology. So, for example, it often focuses more on issues such as homosexuality and abortion, on which the Bible say little or nothing, and ignores issues such as poverty and wealth, on which it says a great deal. Being itself so entangled with the dominant ideology, it fails to see how conditioned and unfree - and therefore anti-spiritual - its biblicism is."
