It's all Jesus' fault - local LTTE
There is a ltte in my local paper today, Beaumont Enterprise, that states:

"I wish that our people would quit bad-mouthing President Bush. As the old saying goes, 'He ain't running the show.'

Jesus is, and He is allowing these things to happen, hoping to wake up our people so that they can get ready for His return.

He doesn't wan any of us left behind when He returns to take His children home, so it behooves us to get ready for His return.

President Bush, or whoever is in office, whether a Republican or Democrat, wil continue to be led by our supreme king."


Me: Well that is surely an interesting (and a little looney) way of lookin at things....

4. The "ltte" writer forgets something.
"He doesn't wan any of us left behind when He returns to take His children home"

Sorry, but only 144,000 will be chosen to dance in the air with the Lord.

7. Not according to the fundies
All the saved will "rise to meet the Lord in the air." They say the 144,000 refers to a number of Jews who will convert to Christianity in the end times.

A lot depends on whether you're pre-, post- or a-millenial.

5. Well, you all remember in the New Testament
Jesus said such things as;

When a man slaps you across the cheek, gun him down with an uzi.

Blessed are the men who strike and attack other sovreign nations, and a curse upon the meek

And of course, Christ's famous:
Destroy the other man's property, his neighbor's property and burn the whole village to the ground for the son of man will bless you for it.

8. I forget...
where was it "blessed his he that justifies putting glow-sticks up detained prisoners butts, because he will certainly vote Republican"

Or something like that. I'm sure it's in the bible somewhere, otherwise GWB wouldn't be doing it, right?
