It's the end of the world as you know it
Those in charge have prepared for all an appetizer of fear, followed by a course of dread, and ending in armageddon. We are the bunny rabbits hiding in the bushes hoping we can finish our day without being found out that we crapped in our bunnypants.

There are a lot of crazy people out in this world.

I really hate this crap.

Why do people want the world to be destroyed?

Why do they vote for someone who will help the destruction along?

What the fuck is the matter with these people? Don't they have children?

1. they think they are going to heaven and have eternal life...
up there with God and Jesus (and I guess the saints, if yr Catholic).

...so what if the world comes to an end..they are going upstairs for eternity.

4. They want to bring on Armageddon,
and fulfill their own interpretation of biblical prophecy, an interpretation that most mainstream Christian theologians and authorities believe to be total bunk.

That's the problem with the arrogant, ignorant neocons and those currently in charge; they want to bring about Armageddon, which will bring on "the rapture", which will fulfill their interpretation of scripture, and to hell, literally, with everyone and everything else. They really do believe that that is their role and purpose on this earth, as frightening as that is. And, as a liberal Christian, I can say that their scriptural interpretation is total bullshit and they're completely full of it.

5. Again?
I thought some guy got rich off of saying rapture was near during the 80s. He even encouraged people to drop out of college to "spread the Good News". I'm sure those kids who are now adults working at MickeyD's are thrilled.

Then there was that fabulously entertaining Jack and his wifey Rexella who were a blast to watch while doing bong hits. There could be a news story about just about anything and they could tie it in to Revelation.

Now there's the guys getting rich off of the Left Behind books.

The End is Near! Now give me your cash! You won't neeeeeeed it in paradise!
