American Christian Fundamentalist Leader Calls For Global War

If Christian fundamentalists are to be believed, America's invasion of Iraq and the consequent brutal slaughter of thousands of innocent civilians in that country are all part of a grand divine plan that will finally culminate in the 'second coming' of Jesus Christ. Establishing an empire that will extend all over the globe, Christ will rule like a powerful monarch, saving those who believe in him and dispatching non-believers, all non-Christians and non-conformist Christians, to everlasting perdition in hell. This is no childish nonsense for millions of Christian fundamentalists, who sincerely believe this to be predicted in the Bible.

1. Are they talking about the White House?

I see plenty of 'evil' dwelling there...

Pretty easy to recognize :evilfrown: when he's president!

:rofl:

They've got their theology wrong. It's the BAD guys who take over the world in the run up to Armageddon! Personally, rather than support :evilfrown: (Bush) in his plan to take over the world, I'd rather thwart his evil plans. But hey - that's just me. I haven't drunk the :evilfrown: koolaide.

2. It is truly amazing how some people can still think that THEY are

the only ones whose beliefs are the right ones, and that in this vast universe they are still at its center...and it is justifiable that others die to prove this.
What complete and total small minded morons. There just are no adequate words to express my disgust for these people.

8. And the ridiculous thing about this is that most scholars believe that

Revelation was

1) Not written by the alleged author (style of Greek prose is totally different from that of the writer of the fourth Gospel)

2) Intended as an allegory about Rome, a kind of revenge fantasy for Christians undergoing persecution, but with Rome called "Babylon" to avoid censorship
