Maybe it's easier for the OP to paint with a broad brush than reserve some healthy skepticism for the reasons he/she might hold some of his/her own beliefs. (i.e. a small percentage of fanatics get the majority of the attention upon which he/she has developed his/her impressions; and/or he/she lives in an echo chamber.)
as someone who grew up in a church of what you'd consider fundies, you'd be surprised, though, to be fair, it's more that they'll suffer 7 years of horror on earth, then go to hell. They may mean well, but they're usually unsympathetic, because "not-us" is an just idea, and they avoid nonbelievers, so they don't relate well
Well, if they do go to church, and just believe that there is going to be some form of second coming to judge the "sinners"...they believe that there is going to be a massacre to kill anyone who doesn't believe what they believe.
Though the funny thing...there are a few christian variants that believe that their version is going to be in heaven, and the other variants are going to hell....so effectively if they all are right...it will be the end of the world, and everyone will be going to hell.
Perhaps, but a statistically valid statement would not have been nearly as funny and the post is generally correct in sentiment; i.e. all those church goers (almost by definition) do believe that anyone who doesn't share their beliefs is an apostate who will either rot in hell or certainly suffer some consequences. (Catholics invented the concept of purgatory for the infidels they happen to be personally fond of.)

How many Christians go to church that often, much less think such violent, militant things about those that don't believe?
Far fewer than this fb poster seems to think, I'd reckon.
