Yes. You and I have very different interpretations of the word "fundamentalist" and its connotations.

You're entirely welcome love. Since we're on this topic and there appears to be a difference in how I view those I'd call fundamentalists and how you interpret your faith, I'd be interested to learn more about your take on the descriptive adjective. If you are so-inclined I'd be very interested to know how you can be a so-called "fundamentalist" and still look at things with the broad perspective you do naughty. Somehow it seems mutually exclusvie to me.
This link will tell you how I interpret the present-day Christian Fundamentalist:
