I didn’t think much about it when my friend told me about 3 months ago, that a school-mate of his daughters asked if she could live with them for awhile because her family had started acting crazy and saying that the rapture was at hand, and she was becoming more and more afraid of them. She had told him that her mom and dad, and most of her extended family, all believed that President Obama is the antichrist. So they must all start repenting, praying and fasting so they will all be ready when jesus arrives. By the end of our conversation, I realized that he was asking for my advice in this matter; and I told him if it was me, I wouldn’t get involved with those loony bat-shit crazy Christians. I told him that for the past 2000 years; in every few decades or so, some mentally ill Christian moron or another has proclaimed, “The hour of the lord, was at hand.” I told him most of these types of silly Christians are so childlike in their mentality, that they’ll soon lose interest in this silly idea, and just return to hating gays or something else.
I started thinking about this girl’s parents rapture delusion, again about two weeks ago after reading the results of a poll, in which more than 24% of the far-right Christians said, that they also believe that Obama is the antichrist. So are they also now preparing for the “rapture” too, I wondered? However, I simply dismissed the poll numbers as those of the likes of the Tea-Baggers, as just being racists stupid and ignorant. Then this past Friday, as I pulled into the parking lot of a convenient-store, and there were 4 well dressed proselytizers accosting customers and saying, “Obama was the antichrist and Satan himself, and Christ would be returning before the end of Obama’s first term as President” I started thinking just maybe I have been taking this latest of Christian senselessness, a little too lightly. Then today, I was reading about the FBI arresting members of a Christian cult:
DETROIT – Nine suspects tied to a Christian militia that was preparing for the Antichrist were charged with conspiring to kill police officers, then attack a funeral using homemade bombs in the hopes of killing more law enforcement personnel, federal prosecutors said Monday.
Now I’m starting to wonder if we all need to take the words and actions of these deluded and ignorant Christians a little more seriously. I’ve read many stories that when in the past Christians have started down this path to this type of delusional psychosis; they started killing their children and themselves. Whole families committed suicide, so they could all be together with jesus.
My personal opinion is that anyone who would totally wrap their life around a story written in a book, which tells of such things as talking-snakes and virgin-born saviors – isn’t wrapped very tight in the first place. I wonder if this is the start of a new trend; the latest in a 2000 year old psychotic delusion. And is history on the verge of repeating again, the times when deluded Christian started seeing the Jews and people of other religions (including atheists) as a hindrance between them, the rapture and jesus – so they just started killing the “god-less heathens.” Are we now in danger again as well? And where in the hell is this deluded bullshit coming from this time?
Logging you in...

I have to agree with your advise to your friend about that families daughter. I don't like saying this but anytime a minor is involved it can easily be turned into major problems for those helping the minor. I would suggest that he should show her how to get out from under her parents control legally and that she might want to start keeping track of dates and events which can be seen as harmful to a minor.

The whole of christianity is one sick fucking religion. When young children are indoctrinated into this silly and sick mythological world of fear and ignorance; they often grow up being incapable of independent thinking and reasoning. When one asks them a question, most often they just echo the position of their church; or you will hear them say, I can’t answer that question, because I don’t know my church’s position on that. Most deluded religious people live a life of paranoid fear and ignorance; I can’t even wrap my mind around the concept of an antichrist – and least of which, someone born in Hawaii??? What I find most disturbing about this whole deluded idea of Obama being the antichrist, is how it’s being driven by the most racist elements in christianity. These “tea-parties,” are beginning to look and sound, more and more like the old christian-KKK rallies did in the south, back in the 60s. And what I find even more disturbing, is the almost surreal positions of which have been taken on by some of the black “christian-leaders” on Obama. Some of them are also calling him the antichrist, and preaching their wishes for his death.
As someone who never even considered living my life outside of the realm of reality – I have much respect and admiration for those of you who have broken free from superstitious dogmas. When I hear someone saying that someone is the antichrist; it’s the same to me as someone saying, that they found the real Santa – it’s all just bat-shit crazy, to me!
I’m going to make it a point this week to find out what’s happening with his daughter’s friend. When I gave my friend that advice; it was solely based on my past experiences – I simply don’t get in the middle of religious conflicts, and especially when children are involved, unless their my own children. I could just see him letting the girl stay there with his family, as opening the door to a whole host of bullshit. Most often in situations like these; the sick and deluded parents, convince themselves that the one trying to help the child, is the one who is simply trying to turn their child against them. And in the case of a 14 year old girl; they would believe, he’s keeping her so he can molest her (most christians have their minds so far down in the fucking gutter; that I was almost sure this would come up too, and no one needs that kind of bullshit in their life).

Now the mirror image of G-D. We are like seals that were pressed into clay used to secure the law and documents of the covenant of day and night and the ordinances of heaven and earth. serving much like a signature symbols and letters, numbers. When stamped into the clay the seal images and inscription would appear correctly. We need to return, having the ordinances of heaven and earth... For it is written ..Job 33 The Spirit of G-D made me(below, flesh, sin) but the breath of the Almighty gives me life. (above, sons of G-D returned.

Ezekiel13:19 And will ye pollute Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to My people that hear your lies?
13:20 Wherefore thus saith the LORD G-D; Behold, I am against your pillows, (you just have little sins,nothing big-LIE--SIN-BRINGS-DEATH!).....con,,,pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

I never have been able to understand this; other than facts and truth have little meaning to most Christians. But still I believe it’s ok to celebrate Xmas, only without the Christ part – and I’ve been a lifelong heathen anyway.
PS, can you make your point without spewing all of that buy-bull-shit, all over my blog!
