I agree that fundamentalists typically subborn themselves irrationally to authority figures, but I don't think fundamentalists follow Dobson's parenting advice because he holds a PhD. There are plenty of PhD's that fundamentalists wouldn't listen to.

I think fundamentalists listen to James Dobson because his rhetoric resonnates with their narrow, intolerant worldview.

To that end, there is fundamentalism in every persuit that rises to the level of a group activity, or offers its adherents some implied group "membership" -bodybuilding is no different. To be sure, some of the early Mentzer advice propagated during the late eighties sounded downright cultish.

hvt/hit theory and fundamentalism? (prccq)

I just noticed something.

Jim Dobson is a Ph.D and a medical school professor.

Bill Kramer is a Ph.D. and a medical school professor.

Fundamentalists follow Dobson's parenting advice.

Atheists follow secular parenting advice.

Mentzer has no Ph.D and rational people follow Mentzer. Atheists are skeptical of consensus and pseudoscience.

I wonder if fundamentalists lift according to Kramer.
Fundamentalists are irrational followers of authority/concensus. Hmmmm....................

any data of whether followers of HVT or the russian system are fundamentalists?
