What exactly leads Protestantism, especially the Fundimentalist Evangelical kinds, to fall to scrupulousness and do stuff like this:
http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=6833
And considering that series involves a prophesied being of Light coming to drive out a great being of Darkness and who's characters champion virtues of Unity, Duty and Destiny (note Destiny doesn't alway entail "everything is predetermined and you have no say in the matter on it at all" and in this case is "here's a goal, goal will make you happy and feel fulfilled, but you can eschew goal and do your own thing but that's not really wise") which Christianity is a actually quite fond of.
Where did Protestantism go wrong where they hate everything and are so alert on anything that MIGHT be sinful and evil while Orthodox and Catholic Christians (and all smaller non-Protestant Churches like, say, Maronites, in communion with either of those big two) actuall can enjoy things without coming across as paranoid nutters who think everything is 100% Evil and enjoying it slightly is a "sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance?"

Just because Landover Baptist is trolling doesn't mean people who ARE scrupulous Protestants won't take it seriously considering how much it reflects what you'd see on a legitimate Baptist forum discussion.
And in a non Landover example, try PokéMania where overly scrupulous Protestants did this:

And not-overly scrupulous Catholics who can actually have fun did this:

Yes Landover is satire, but it's too-good satire that is nigh indistinguishable from the genuine article. This my point stands, why are Protestants so overly scrupulous?

I think "protestantism" has to be the dumbest umbrella term ever, as it puts people with completely opposite doctrine in the same bag.

Well, they all agree on their antithesis to Roman Catholicism and Orthdoxy. That's what defines them.

Furthermore, what's a better classification?

So do Muslims and Jews and Mormons. That's a pretty broad group.
Like on one hand you have Presbyterian theonomists who think the OT should be observed to the letter, which includes stoning gays and adulterous women to death.
On the other hand you have super liberal churches that ordain gay marriages, don't care for Scripture and preach you're going to heaven no matter what as long as you believe in Jesus.
They're both classified equally as "protestants". It's nonsense classification.

None of whom use a Bible that resembles the Catholic Bible. None of whom identify as Protestants.

Mormons do use the Bible, except they added their own horseshit sci-fi scripture on top of it.
