Armageddon Wankers

[Kitsune]

I am curious just how common are the individuals who want "Armageddon" to occur and actually if possible with work to cause it to happen?

[The Romulan Republic]

Probably common enough that the possibility of one getting elected President deeply scares me.

[Kitsune]

You watch on TV about Christians who want the Jewish temple rebuilt just so that can occur.

Wow, I never thought the elder Bush was such an asshole.

It is possible that is false- unlike most of the quotes it comes from one person who doesn't have so much backing. I'd have to search to confirm or debunk it, but it is a commonly posted quote. Stupid memes.

So, what is that, a shit list of bigoted idiots who try to hide behind Christianity as an excuse for their disgusting behavior?

I'd say it would be more accurate to say that it's a shit list of bigoted idiots who were influenced by Christanity to produce such disgusting behaviour. Simply because of a few choice things written in the Bibble;

'Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.'
-Leviticus, 18:22

'If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.'
-Leviticus, 20:13

'And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.'
-1 Kings, 14:24

'Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.'
-Romans, 16:17
'For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.'
-Romans, 16:18

And so on and so forth. Choice quotes taken from the Skeptic's Annotated Bible

It is essentially American theocrats. For example:

"The 'wall of separation between church and state' is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned."

William Rehnquist (1924 - 2005)(Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court)

They say the darnest things.

Related to Kisune's original question is this:

"For the first time ever, everything is in place for the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ."

That would be President Ronald Reagan.

Heh, the bulk of those quotes, they are almost cartoonishly evil.
