The kind of 'fundamenatalism' you discribed isnt religious at all and it certainly isnt 'Christain', it is self serving, ungodly and a by product of greed, lust and unbrideled pride.
It is carnal, and based on the natural inclinations of man and has nothing to do with God at all.
It isnt 'fundamentalism' (even as you dsicribed it) that can lead to world distruction, it is merely natural man that will destroy the world... labeling it 'fundamentalism' is simply your way of promoting your pluralist view over those who oppose you. You loosly use the term to include those groups who do not advocate for all those thing yet hold fast to a stricter interpretation of the bible than you hold.
You ought to more carefully discribe the term before you use it so arbitrarily.
