That of course is taking my words literally to the point of disregarding the underlying meaning. Quite like the approach to religion displayed by many (not all) fundamentalists, Islamic,

I see your point, but I did not mean that one can randomly change words to produce different meanings.

I noticed a similarity in the way some fundamentalists of different faiths view the world today. Namely, that ultimate evil is misleading many, but the end is near, and when it comes the true believers will be saved and the believers in the false god will be destroyed.

Different terms are used by diffferent groups (Dajjal and anti-Christ, God and Allah) to express a view of life that has some big things in common.
