However, since fundamentalism seems to be equated with literal interpretation of scripture, I think Buddhist fundamentalists might take the various cosmologies of Avici, Tushita, Sukhavati, devas, asuras, and pretas literally. Does that make sense?

Hi Zero,

Yes I agree - but then I think that on the other side of the coin an inflexible attitude towards others who have those views might also be a form of extremism !
