And while you have Google up, let’s see a cite for this as well.

Oh, good, an easy one.
Yeah, that’s a pretty obvious one. Millions of people are into the Left Behind books, and all kinds of other endtimes fantasy bullshit.
In fairness, I believe that Shodan is Catholic, and the Catholics generally don’t go in for that shit, so he may be unfamiliar with how prevalent these endtime themes are within the protestant evangelical communities.
I had friends .long ago who were into Lavey. They gave me a copy of his bible to read . It just seemed to justify hedonism. I am down with that. If people say we only go around once, so lets have as much fun as possible, I have no argument. As long as they don’t hurt others, what they do in private is none of my business. But I don’t recall and sacrifices or spending time with worship. I don’t recall them being a threat.
I would look it up ,but a priest convinced my wife to burn the Levey Bible . She did. He even gave her holy water from Lourds to sprinkle on the ashes. Now, that was crazy.
And I may just be right again, as I am about this.
Bill Moyers apologized to James Watt for the faulty quotation…

And I also accept your apology.
If you are responding to me, I was asking for a cite for what was claimed. Thanks in advance.

I know lots of Catholics who believe in the end of times . These are mainstream ,go to Catholic Church on Sunday types.
Every Christian who takes the Creeds & the Bible seriously believe in some degree in the End Times- it just depends on how major an issue it is to them & how much they believe it is mapped out in detail.
I am not Roman Catholic.
And the claim was made in connection with this kind of foolishness -
And a false quote about something James Watt did not say.
So, we need a cite that millions of Christians want the world to be blown up in nuclear Armageddon tomorrow. And I’ve read the Left Behind books - they make no such claim and do not constitute a valid cite.
I get pretty sick and tired of this crap where liberal noses get rubbed in the truth over and over again and it still gets denied, whereas obvious bullshit gets a pass because it is anti-Christan.
We have already seen that the Watt quote was a lie by Moyers or one of his gullible ilk. The allegation that Falwell spent years trying to convince Reagan to start WWIII is also a grotesque piece of fantasy. The idea that millions of Christians want people to burn to death in nuclear war is also a hateful piece of garbage.
Der Trihs is making shit up (again). Cite it, or withdraw it.

A couple of them babysat for my son for a week while we were on vacation. They had him scared about the days of darkness that they said were rapidly approaching. They dragged him down to see a church where the face of Mary was showing itself every day.
They had a chapel in their home.
They are college graduates and professionals. They have been friends of my wife for 40 years. She met them in Catholic School. Their kids attended the same Catholic school my son did. Main streamers to outsiders. You have to know them to find out the weirdness.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but at least in my case, Der Trihs doesn’t get called on his posts because he’s Der Trihs. There’s not much point to it.
When you get right down to it, I’m more concerned that Romney belongs to that other whackjob group… the GOP.
Do Mormons still think that Black people have the mark of Cain or whatever it was that justified discriminating against them until the 70s?
It would seem ,that is to be understood , that if the church says we will no longer discriminate against women and blacks, they suddenly do not. All their history is gone. No criticism is possible .
The Catholic Church did not officially approve boys getting molested. Therefore ,it does not count. Tell that to the kids.
Blacks and the Priesthood in the Mormon Church | Recovery from Mormonism None of this matters anymore. Since 1978, all is well. Every single Mormon now believes all these teachings are false.
But my question remains. Is it still doctrine that Black people are the descendants of Cain even though it is no longer cool to discriminate?
I have no hate for Mormons. I give them a hell of a lot less thought and consideration than that. But I see them as more flawed than most religions and weirder. I think a bit less of anyone who is strongly religious. I prefer to be rooted in Science and logic. But there is a hierarchy . Not all religions are as demanding of their followers as the Mormons are. I dislike oppression.
I think the Catholics are wrong to limit priesthood to men. they have proven to all who can see what a terrible idea it is. Yet the Mormons did not learn that lesson. An all male ,unmarried priesthood has hurt the Catholics for generations. They keep paying for an old rule that proves it is harmful in so many ways. Yet they are too stupid to fix it.
What does any religion have to offer? When a religion starts to recruit you, you can be sure they are after your money.
Mormons have an all-male unmarried priesthood? News to me!
I seem to recall being ordained a Priest at the age of 16. I believe that had I gone on a mission or gotten married, I would have been promoted to Elder at that point. So, excluding the odd special cases and outliers…
In the LDS church, one doesn’t get ordained elder simply by virtue of getting married. It’s the other way around, actually. To be married in the Temple, a male must already be an Elder. I was taking issue with gonzomax’s sweeping statement above.
