Does anyone know anything about Hal Lindsey?

[King Coal]

[gratuitous]

1. The guy who wrote "The Late, Great Planet Earth"?

Or someone else? Has he finally tottered off the deep end?

[King Coal]

2. He is saying the Mosques here and in Canada are going to be the end of us.

[lectrobyte]

3. Seems to ring a bell as one of those Rapture/Apocalypse/Whatever guys

big in the 1970's. Or am I thinking of someone else?

[jean]

5. yes-he is. He should start watching the Daily Show. They have great

coverage of Rapture issues. Next show they're going to cover what to pack.

4. Hal should write a sequel called "Satan is Alive and Well. And Living....

...In the White House" :scared:

7. God. I should have known.

Thanks.

8. Yeah, I read his "Late Great Planet Earth"

when I was a born-again in high school (don't ask. an adolescent phase I laugh about now).

Anyhoo ... he had us all quaking in our boots about the End Times. Another dude predicting the end of the world (and spouting off about geopolitical issues) based on a biblical FAIRY TALE.

And please, don't hide the bong. If I'm a-gonna be Left Behind, I'm a-gonna NEED that bong.

10. We must have known each other.

I'm still a Christian, but I've gotten over the obsessive bits from high school. :-) People used to get all bent out of shape about when the end times were coming.

In fact, I'm old enough to heard a couple of people talked about as the antichrist: Henry Kissinger, Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Anyway, I think Lindsey is now into making money in kneejerk right-wing variants of Christianity. I exchanged a bunch of unpleasant e-mails with an associate of his who was a real Gore-basher.

17. Another example...

of someone picking and choosing biblical passages to their own end (and making $$$$ off it). Didn't Jesus say he would come "like a thief in the night"? And isn't it considered hubris to make out like you know the mind of G-d?

[X_republican]

11. God....

...so did I. Back in my republican days. Good ol' Hal and Jack Chick comics.

Back then I was ashamed that I couldn't live up to all that stuff. Now I'm ashamed that I tried in the first place.

9. Ol' Hal and his fat mustache

can be seen on fundie channels providing insightful analysis of world events. Must miss TV

[UdoKier]

14. Isn't that Hal Linden?

Of Barney Miller fame?

[burythehatchet]

16. nope

10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag

[UdoKier]

18. I have all the "Christian" channels blocked...

...along with all the home-shopping channels. Never seen or heard of THAT guy.

I thought it might be Hal Linden, because he apparently appeared in a fundie movie lately.

"Time Changer"

12. The original end-timer.

.

13. Hasn't he been raptured yet??

I think he's still trying to bring all the jews back to Israel so Jesus can hurry up and come back.

[X_republican]

15. In case of rupture...

...this car will be unmanned.

An oldie but goody.

[oasis]

19. He has that serious, mesmerizing tone in his voice. I check him out

once in a while to find out what the fundies are up to and if they strictly adhere to the rules for their tax exempt status.

[vetwife]

20. Oh yeah and I called TBN over his broadcast the other nite !

He went from end times to Kerry bashing times.
