I don’t think that’s a problem. They are United by their only salient attribute, which is encapsulated by the term “exploitative bullshit”
They are a two dimensional rainbow painted on a flat sheet with bold letters written above it threatening you with dire consequences and making dire but empty threats of moral indictments if you were to ever venture to suggest it is flat.
The "threats" are coming from a choir of 500 people who are singing different songs with varying pitches. Fundamentalist Christians are not the only group (indeed, a shrinking minority) of Christians, and most mainline denominations are basically universalist with the "All roads lead to the same summit" mentality. Even among Evangelicals their views on Hell are changing with their "Four Views on Hell" book that is available on Amazon and the conferences now taking place that are debating the Atonement. It's all a kaleidoscope that is not a bother to look through.
This thread is about a proverbial boogeyman.
