Evangelicals are having a Rapture-tastic day today.

Be careful out there, kiddies.

I just left an office this morning and they were orgasming as they watched fox snooze. The Bible Belt is all a tingle today.

Whatever you do don't get into an argument with any of them and try to introduce facts to them. They might snap out of their fairy tale euphoria and go nuts on you.

Peace

why Israel and some Jewish people align with these fanatics? They are not your friend. They do not respect you as a people or your religion and traditions. The christofascist end game plans are horrific.

and they look down on evangelicals as barely being Christian.
I studied the doctrine of the Rapture to be able to better defend it since my minister, Brother Eastman, was a big believer and teacher of biblical prophecy. I studied it in the original languages and the Rapture is not even good biblical exegesis in taking different versus and forcing them together to come up with this "doctrine" which the early believers knew nothing about. So even from an honest biblical point of view the doctrine of the Rapture is crap.
My studying the Bible to confirm by beliefs had the opposite effect because I came out the other side an unbeliever and now an atheist.
