I think that literalists and fundamentalists try to domesticate God and make him fit their understanding of reality or behave in predictable ways based on their perceptions (or aspirations) of politics or culture or tribal loyalties or whatever.

Well Put! I agree. And they (fundamentalist) do a lot of picking and choosing out of bible instead of considering the book as a whole. One thing that stands out is that they ignore much of Christ's message of forgiveness and meekness and focus on the more "fear of God" messages in the Old Testament.
