If not, why not?

Is the Dem victory a sign to fundies that the Rapture is coming (again)?

3. Anybody have a history of this Rapture nonesense?
I heard it was invented in the 19th century in this country.

6. "Is the Dem victory a sign to fundies...?"
One of the categories is "Liberalism", now indexed at "5", apparently the highest.

I love how these people think. They are truly f*ckin' nuts.

7. Who do these people speak for?
Thar chart was the dumbest thing I've seen for a while!

This Rapture business has been over popularized by the Left Behind series (which I have not and will not read)and has become an article of faith for to many people based on to little knowkedge of the scriptures.

9. Yahoo search
On July 24, CNN featured Rapture Ready in a report on how some evangelicals believe that the Hezbollah-Israeli conflict "is a sign that the Bible's final chapter, the Book of Revelation is unfolding before our eyes."

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Rapture_Website_attracts_major_media_attention_0813.html

PHILLIPS: Now, you mention Rapture. And we asked about, what's the talk on the Web? And you mention this one Web site, raptureready.com. So, we went to it and, very interesting. It's got everything from oil prices to drug abuse to earthquakes. It rates it and factors it into biblical prophecy. Why do you find this so interesting?
