Pastor says tornadoes were 'demon possessed' and a sign of the apocalypse

[cleanhippie]

Theologian Paul Begley says that the tornadoes that ripped through the southern states were demon possessed.

The Indiana pastor says that signs described in Matthew 24 and the Old Testament books of Hosea and Daniel are being fulfilled "with dead birds, fish, cows, eagles, whales, and now people." Begley has been preaching end times doom almost daily, after thousands of dead birds and fish were reported in Arkansas in January. "Are you ready for the apocalypse?" he asks. "Are you serious? Are you saved?"

He speculates that economic woes will lead to a one world government and the mark of the beast.

1. so, disasters in Blue States: God. Disasters in Red States: Demons.

do I have that eschatology right?

11. Ding ding ding!

You are correct, sir. :thumbsup:

[mike_c]

2. dark-sided!

:rofl:

[LiberalLoner]

4. Or "dork-sided" which is the way it sounded to me, LOL! n/t

[Warpy]

3. Yeah, the pews will be full of suckers claiming god saved them

"Dunno what he had agin mah fambly, but he done saved me!"

It's just one of those mindsets I'll never really understand, nor do I want to.

5. here's video of this "theologian"

he looks like Robert Gibbs doing a bad Dennis Hopper impression.

7. Or the effect of man-made global warming upon societies which don't believe in it.

8. Whenever I check, I find no shortage of people who say silly things. Their reasons vary.

Some are just badly informed. Others are screaming bonkers. Still others simply seem to want attention or money or both. I very often find it well worth my time to ignore them

[EvolveOrConvolve]

18. It would be easy to ignore them if these quacks weren't so prevalent

And a lot of people eat this stuff up. It may be worth our time to ignore them, but we do so at our own peril. It's a dangerous mindset that quacks like Begley foment, and it's only a matter of time until it spurs someone to do something truly horrible (Jared Loughner as States' Exhibit A).

9. 200 Pentecostal Preachers Disappear Overnight Into the Wild

Blue Yonder! 200 Pentecostal Preachers! Mark of the Beast Suspect!

[Turbineguy]

10. He's probably partially right

"...yea, and morons shall walk among you..."

[GKirk]

12. Begley may be delusional

but at least he's smart enough not to assign a date to the rapture.

[mn9driver]

13. That's odd.

My preacher told me the twisters were an incarnation of the dark god Cthulu preparing to eat the world.

I wonder which one of them is right?

[dimbear]

15. He may very well have a point there. HPL brilliant as he was was nevertheless

a nasty racist, and Cthulhu's immediate servants tended to be Black. I see how that fits in with the rightwing world view.

[Odin2005]

14. Demented idiots.

[Sadena Meti]

16. We haven't evolved much in the past few thousand years...

Still attributing natural disasters to gods. Floods, volcano, earthquakes, windstorms.

Oh the need for more science in schools.

17. Zechariah 9:14

And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
