"Praise God! We are chosen to be in these times and also watch and spread the word. Something inside me is exploding to get out, and I don't know what it is. Its kind of like I want to do cartwheels around the neighborhood."

At least there is an upside to this whole war/dead children thing. Some "good Christians" are all upbeat!

Whoa. Way to miss the point of the End Times. The only thing to look forward to about them is the end, not the start.

You think that's crazy? Iran has someone like that for their president

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...4/ixworld.html

The most remarkable aspect of Mr Ahmadinejad's piety is his devotion to the Hidden Imam, the Messiah-like figure of Shia Islam, and the president's belief that his government must prepare the country for his return.

http://www.iranian.ws/iran_news/publ...le_10945.shtml
...
"Our revolution's main mission is to pave the way for the reappearance of the 12th Imam, the Mahdi," Ahmadinejad said in the speech to Friday Prayers leaders from across the country.
...
Ahmadinejad refers to the return of the 12th Imam, also known as the Mahdi, in almost all his major speeches since he took office in August.

I'm guessing these people are suicidal but are too chicken **** to go though with it if they are welcoming the end of the world.

That or they just want to feel special.

Kerrigan · Jul 20, 2006, 04:24 PM

That or they just want to feel special.

That's the most likely reason. These people are probably akin to those nerds in high school who talk about how they're too busy plotting to take over the world, or too busy scheming on becoming a billionaire, to have any friends.

I guess when you have nothing else going for you the death and judgement of billions of people plus the end of the world is all one needs as a pick me up.

I bet after every major news event, September 11th, the Tsunami, etc their rapture board lights up with activity. To them, everything is a sign of the end times. I'm sure some of you know this site, but if you haven't check out landoverbaptist.org

Well considering this is the first conflict to ever take place on earth and we had an earthquake and even a hurricane I can see how things are different than before. None of these things ever happened since Jesus split.

Landos Mustache · Jul 20, 2006, 05:18 PM

I blame Grand Theft Auto. That was the first sign as there was no violence before then.

Wonder what all these nut-cases excuse will be when they are still here in 2 months.

Kevin · Jul 20, 2006, 05:26 PM

And here is SWG again showing he has no clue what he is talking about when it comes to religion.

I'd seriously go seek help SWG. You have too much hate built up inside you.

That can only give you premature wrinkles.

Monique · Jul 20, 2006, 05:29 PM

This is what I think of the rapture; the most ridiculous thing the Christian right has even invented.

ironknee · Jul 20, 2006, 05:30 PM

guess who is super wet about the end times?

I'll give you a hint, I am quoting him.

I dare you to ask me what my sig is REALLY about or dishonest one.

I don't think you know what the Rapture is.

I think you are confusing it with something else.

Um SWG, I didn't design that....

Do a google search

You must really be used to the taste of your own foot by now.

Jawbone54 · Jul 20, 2006, 05:42 PM

We believe that along with the end time will come a great revival and renewal of hunger for God throughout the world. This, at least in my circles, is the cause for excitement. We haven't declared that this event marks the coming of God, but the worse it gets, the closer we are.

Monique, you preach tolerance. Please practice it.

Kevin · Jul 20, 2006, 05:46 PM

SWG preaches it too. But he is one of the worst offenders of being intolerant in this forum.

Which hunger is acceptable to you. Let me guess right wing christianity.

We're not rejoicing because it's getting bad. We're keeping our heads up, because we've been ridiculed, trampled on, and pushed aside as time has passed by. "...be not troubled" We're not celebrating that people are being hurt. To insinuate that is, as Kevin said, displaying a complete ignorance of the Christian faith.

Even those that have tried to help him understand he doesn't listen to.

He doesn't WANT to know. He just wants to keep his own narrow-minded hateful beliefs about what religion is about. He doesn't care he is wrong.

I guess he posts these things to convince himself.

Much like Salty did before he came out of the closet.

SWG is struggling with his spirituality, and is now acting out.

That still doesn't make sense.

Esp since there is no "Right wing Christian" sect of Christianity.

Monique, take the chip off your shoulder.

You claim you are now a practicer of Judaism. Have you seen either one of us here Bash Judaism?

Of course not.

Jews and Christians bashing each other don't make a lot of sense.

Okay...let me rephrase myself. A hunger for a relationship with God and a godly lifestyle in accordance with the Word of God.

He claims anyone posting anything against homosexuality etc are really homosexuals themselves because they "complain too much" for them not to be

So under his own beliefs he must be a Christian in the closet no?

How does it feel to be so intolerant?

Don't pretend you didn't put "jesus christ" there on purpose.

You are acting no better than Fred Phelps.

of course not...christians need the jews to spark the end times...then, well, no jews allowed sorry.

I hope they have the proper paperwork and permission for this gathering.

And I hope they clean the garbage up after themselves.

Is there a flying saucer gonna be there?

Will there be seating for us non-christians to watch?

I have many questions.

I know that I'm supposed to be offended or something, but the visual of this was hilarious to me. A big stadium, thousands of cheering supporters, hot dogs, flags...
