jiggy are you supposting the millenialists (both pre- and post-)

[Unknown Target]

Or you could believe that the fate of men is ruled by their actions and not by a text that was written over 2000 years ago....

[Kazan]

somedays i think our species will survive... then I encounter people who actually believe such nonseness as millenialism... we're doomed

With every group you get the leaders and the followers.

Revelation, chapter 6, has him coming as the rider on the white horse. He has a bow in his hand, but has no arrows. This symbolizes that he has might but offers peace. This is deception because he is, by nature, a conqueror; the red horse of war will soon follow. This is the beginning of the campaign called Armageddon.

That's not Armageddon, that's the Battle of Minas Tirith!

He will, no doubt, be the most attractive, charismatic world leader to appear on the world stage. He will come speaking great words that will mesmerize most people. Eventually, he will enslave most of the world with his mark and number system of transacting business. That same system will eventually cause all to worship him as God, or be killed.

Whee! It's me! I told you the universe loved me .

I was belittling his methods of deriving the identity of the anti-christ.

You could apply that **** to Kofi Annan if you tried hard enough.

Fair to point out that the Islamic terrorists have their own apocalyptic agenda on the go, member reading an article in which the assassination of Arafat and Musharref in the same month were among signs which heralded the coming of the Mahdi.

Great topic.  Let's see here...

*looks at his dual 19" monitor flatscreens*
*looks around his air-conditioned office, that could pay a bit better but certainly covers the bills*
*looks over at co-worker he frequently engages in political debates with, usually resulting in very crass comments about the current US administration
*looks at tax refund check recently received*
*looks out the window at car almost paid for*
*Calls roomate who is currently at home enjoying air conditioning and a day off in our huge 2 bedroom place that costs only 470(US) a month*

Yeah, America has realllly gone to s*it.  Oh the humanity...

Say NO to drugs!

If you start talking to drugs, it's probably too late already

See, this exactly why the rest of the world hates you, you see nothing wrong with spending the equivilent of several small countries gdp on weapons designed for mass murder as long as YOU have it easy.

I'm not unemployed, even though I work in the volatile tech industry, like a lot of other people around here I presume (presume, mind you).   I have been through layoffs before and dusted myself off quite nicely.

I am also not sitting in Guantanamo Bay, or some Orwellian cell courtesy of the FBI/CIA/Secret Service for talking smack about the current administration.  I also know where to draw the line (no threats).

I also behave myself in airports.

I also vote.

I don't, however, see the entire country going to s***.
