Obama + earthquakes = the end is near.
and of course the ongoing persecution of christians in a nation where 80+% of people self-identify as Christian.

5. Ahhh The Rapture! Delusions of Grandeur |
|
"And they will stand on the embankments of heaven and look down and laugh at all of us poor souls burning in hell."
I see a parallel with the modern day rapturists and the pre-cocaine hippies of the 60s.
The Age of Aquarius was envisioned as very peaceful and gloriously loving but minus any vengeful smiting of non-believers.
But then and now it's all silly Delusions of Grandeur.
I like the way that RW Evangelicals at first were in lock step (as usual) with big Corporations and Industry and said that climate change was baloney.
Now they are very accepting of climate change because it's not seen as the externalities of human pollution, but as God's righteous calling card. SEEEE!

6. I think if a dog farts they see it as an omen to the end times... |
|
Frankly...I wish they were right. Wish they'd go the fuck away.

9. Rapturists have been getting worked up since it was concocted in the 19th century |
|
and particularly since Hal Lindsey started pumping out the books in the 1970s.
