There are people actually praying to start Armegeddon
in this nation. There are people who believe in Revelations so literally and who are in positions where they will deliberately shape world events tobear out that eschatalogical writing. A freaking suicide pact to blow up the world. I'm kinda thinking that 2012 date predicted for the end of the world that the Vatican supposedly had hidden for so long might not be true after all. How can we get this insanity to stop? Letting it run its course doesn't seem like the right thing to do. I'm beginning to think that the only answer is that civilization as we know it might have to be dismantled so we all can to start over from the beginning. What is wrong with people?

15. I don't see that on their website

There are the simple goals that the board wishes to achieve:

• Provide means for Christians to gather and have fellowship.
• Strengthen of believers in evangelism, discipleship, and edification for personal growth.
• Promote awareness within the Christian community of how the world relates to Bible prophecy"
• Provide websites voicing politics from a Christian perspective, so that the issues may be examined by board members"
• Discussing and providing websites exposing False Cults, False Doctrines, and False Teachings.


It seems to be missing: praying for the end of days.

Steep Uphill Climb to 2012:
Messages from the Mayan Milieu


"Anthropologists visit the temple sites," Mr. Barrios says, "and read the stelas and inscriptions and make up stories about the Maya, but they do not read the signs correctly. It’s just their imagination...Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed. The indigenous have the calendars, and know how to accurately interpret it, not others."

9. Nothing new.
Eschatology has always been a big part of Christian theology in America. We're as millenarian a country as you can find. And the 2012 date isn't Catholic, as far as I know.
