Scientific evidence that conflicts with faith and scripture can just be shooshed away as the devil trying to confuse them. Nations trying to work together to solve their problems are "a Godless One World Government" and a threat to our sovereignty.Tommykeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751182125861177379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36205037.post-68548896169219709112007-04-08T06:08:00.000-06:002007-04-08T06:08:00.000-06:00I agree that these End Timers are scary and that t...I agree that these End Timers are scary and that their influence hurts us all. By focusing only on the short-term (because they think they'll be raptured away soon), they cannot govern adequately.vjackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868095335395368227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36205037.post-88990589742401625232007-04-07T14:50:00.000-06:002007-04-07T14:50:00.000-06:00These people believe in certain things, you don't ...These people believe in certain things, you don't hear anything about the "Beatitudes" in the fundie way of doing business. It's an immaturity, I guess, but they do their best to MAKE their pretend world real, no matter what the cost to others. The idea of breaking things, hurting others (who according to their way of thinking deserve it) gives them a sort of gleeful anticipation.<BR/><BR/>The "End Timers" and "Dominionists" may not be many, but I'd say watch out for them. They want to have castles in the air? Fine. Unfortunatly, I am expected to help finance them, maintain them, and my own place may destryed so that it can become real. But reality doesn't really count with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
