:rolleyes:
Rhapsody, while there is justification to say the current administration is filled with thugs and crooks, there is NO justification in calling for their violent removal, NEVER forget that people fought and died to give us the power to remove them through peaceful means.
Good way to get the Secret Service interested in you.
Havel, you’re not by any chance related to ukchristian, are you?
Someone’s confusing the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse with the Six Guys from the Village People.
Why did you have to do that? Now I will wait for your cite. It won’t come and then I’ll go nuts wondering if this piece of somewhat bizarre information means that 1%, or 10%, or 70% of America are wearing hats made out of King James Bible pages…
Sparc
P.S. To make an efficient Apocalypse hat, always choose the last three pages of Genesis and combine those with all of Revelations, make the brim out of the Book of Daniel and if in an extra golden Rapture mood attach a decorative featherlike panache made out of Joel 3, Isaiah 24-27, Ezekiel 38-39, Mat 24-25, and Luke 21. D.S.
Was it, by any chance, the poll referred to here?
That is very probably it APB, thanks!
It says:
It seems likely to me that I originally had misread the results as “36% of ALL THOSE POLLED” instead of “36% of those polled who support Israel”. Still kinda discouraging, IMO, but not as bad I originally remembered.
How many supported Isarael (whatever that means in context of the poll)? I tried to find the survey on CNN, but drew blank.
Yeah, I couldn’t find that either.
Here’s the Time magazine article by Nancy Gibbs.
Not intending a hijack, but I can’t keep the following to myself.
Third paragraph, page 1:
“By day, he [Doron Strandberg] is fixing planes at Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Neb. But in his off-hours, he’s the webmaster at raptureready.com and the inventor of the Rapture Index, which he calls a “Dow Jones Industrial Average of End Time activity.””
Jump to sixth paragraph, second page of the article:
"Even the horror of Sept. 11 was experienced differently by people primed to see God’s hand in all things. Strandberg admits that he was “joyful” that the attacks could be a sign that the End Times were at hand. “A lot of prophetic commentators have what I consider a phony sadness over certain events,” he says. “In their hearts they know it means them getting closer to their ultimate desire.”
Exactly what I mean
about 10% have most sypathy for Israel in my country and avery large majority of those are evangelical christians.
These people will stop at nothing. they have no limits
Here are a movie that’s related to the thread I made
No, really, go ahead. No air marshals on this thread.
Someone explain how you worry about homosexuality, abortion, adultery, and Christian fundamentalism in the same post. Please.
I don’t expect Rhapsody to be filling in the location part of the profile. [sub]He whispered into his lapel pin.[/sub]
I ain’t a-worryin’ until the Rapture! [sub]Then we’ll be free of all the pesky fundamentalists[/sub]
let’s stick to the 36% of those polled who support Israel because they believe in biblical prophecies - or 36% of those who support Israel (I’ll bet they are the majority of the supporters anyway)
Well, she knows him well, and though she may or may not be biased, his current wife–and the man himself–certainly will be.
Good gravy, did I just post a response in the wrong thread? Mods, delete the sumbitch!
that movie is okay, but this one is better: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0263728
Best Christian film ever!
Now then…
Many evangelical Christians believe that during the “end times” there will be a one-world government ruled by the Antichrist. Many of these believe that any internationalist movement or organization which seems to point in that direction is the work of the Antichrist or the Devil.
I haven’t heard any smoking-gun rhetoric linking opposition to internationalism to bible prophecy from any prominent Republicans, but Rep. Bob Barr did reveal that U.S. opposition to the International Criminal Court was designed to thwart “those who would create a one-world government”. The paranoia is clearly there.
Another Christian conspiracy theorist put it like this: “Worldly” is the opposite of “Godly”. Therefore, the World, and anything which represents, encompasses, or symbolizes the World is Satanic. This includes the UN, multiculturalism, and environmentalism–which is characterized as “Gaia worship”, and we all know that any false god or godess is really Satan.
Only Jesus can unite the World, they say, and will do so after the Second Coming. Any premature efforts by man to do so would be evil.
These sentiments might be subtly underlying the Bush Administration’s stance toward the rest of the World.
