Christianity is Just Like Islam

Oh, I forgot about that. And that.

Hat tip, I mean 'Thanks for the Memory' to Brian B.

1 Tim McVeigh wasn't exactly what I would call the CHRISTIAN right, but he was avenging the FBI's take-out of David Koresh's Branch Dividian Complex. Koresh was definitely a fringe part of the quirky, crazy Christian right. Those guys were planning to rip s**t up up when their date for Armageddon arrived in a few years. Then there's our favorite anti-abortionist psychopath, Paul Hill. He's a hero to many of the crazed anti-abortionists, who by the way send more anthrax-threat-letters than any other group in the world. (Congratulations on that, by the way.) One of Bush's close political allies from his days as governor of Texas is Pat Robertson. Roberston says, "This whole thing [the preparation for Armageddon] is now in place. It can happen anytime to fulfill Ezekiel. It is ready to happen... The United States is in that Ezekiel passage, and we are standing by." If you happen to be one of those who voted for Bush but are NOT part of the loony Christian right, Robertson is referring to his belief that very soon the world will be destroyed, and a great battle between good and evil will take place in which all Jews are either killed or converted to Christianity, and most of the other people are pretty much just killed. As Billy Graham, Bush's mentor, tells us, we should "welcome [Christ's] return instead of fearing it." David Allen Lewis, who graduated from the Bible college John Ashcroft's father used to run, embellishes a bit. "God is looking for participants, not spectators in the end time drama." Amy Smithson has done some research on terrorism. Here's what she says about one of the underlying motivations for many of the terrorist groups that have a Christian bent: "Some of these religious groups adhere to apocalyptic and millenarian philosophies. Those in the first category concentrate on a preordained catastrophic event they believe will result in the end of mankind; those in the latter think that this horrible event will be their passage to a utopian-type afterlife. In the 1990s, Christian Identity groups asserted that the period of tribulation, the prelude to the apocalypse and the reign of Christ in the new millennium, was underway." But if lots of stuff gets blown up, it's not really that big a deal, because Jesus comes and takes away all the good guys (a.k.a. the Jews don't make it, sorry, and neither do the Hindus, the Muslims, the Buddhists...well, you get the picture). As Bush-ally Jerry Falwell says, "I'm not worried. You know why? I ain't gonna be here." David Koresh couldn't have said it better himself! (Koresh, by the way, was surprised by the FBI raid. He'd been expecting the final showdown to occur in Jerusalem a few years later, not in Waco, Texas! If he'd finished stocking up on AK-47's and whatnot, that good ole fashioned Texas shootout might have gone a little better for him and his family of friendly neighborhood wack-jobs.)

2 Wait, now that I'm reminiscing about my favorite Christian terrorism, my mind eases gently down memory lane, back to the 80's, when a man by the name of Ariel Sharon, then Israel's defense minister, permitted a Lebanese Christian militia to slaugher hundreds of Palestinian refugees in cold blood. When they left, dead Palestinian bodies were strewn everywhere. Yes, sir, them were the days. What ever happened to that Sharon kid anyways? Anybody keep track?

5 Another one that needs quit taking whatever he's taking. As near as I can figure he does'nt care for Christians because they're going to heaven and not taking everyone with them. LOL, this is getting crazy. They must have unsupervised computers in the nut houses these days.

7 Anyone that disbelieves in armageddon is sorely mistaken. Islam and the west will be at war. The arabs will attack the Jews and the a-bombs will explode with great wrath while Jesus return with glory to judge man based on what he or she has done good or bad in the flesh. Even the Jews accnowlidge Jesus, they just don't accept him as the messiah because of tradition even though he's mentioned in prophecy several times in the old testament (Issaih ch 53, Daniel) Be ready for it.
