Waiting for Armageddon - Evangelical Documentary by

13. One of the absolutely finest persons I have ever known is Southern Baptist. She loves The Bible too

but it's a very personal experience for her, so you'd never know unless you happened to ask.

She's a nurse and a very good one too!

I like your observation about the Temple on the Mount and putting God in a house/box. There is so much about this that doesn't seem to work. It seems so childish, even all of the way up to these horrific events that, guess what!, presto chango, abbracadabbra!, turn out to not be that seriously dangerous to certain people.

I have actually heard that mythology at people's front doors when I used to canvass for a freeze on nuclear weapons production and arms control. A few times, people actually told me that I shouldn't worry about nuclear war, because we could go all of the way right up to and including "pushing the button" (turning 2 keys, actually, back in those days) and NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, because God loves us and Jesus will prevent the bombs from exploding.

Frightened children, afraid to consider true possibilities.
