    Hey, if all my Christian friends disappear, even I'd know who he is, isn't it? :D

    I mean, 1.5 billion people don't disappear everyday, do they?

    But if all Christians have already disappeared according to you, and the entire world has had a major Thermonuclear War, then there would be pretty little left to rule, isn't it?

    I'm more inclined to believe this interpretation of Revelation simply because so many people believe the futuristic view. The Historicist view is that it was talking about Rome, or something like that.

    Also, like it says in HHGTG: "Losing your planet isn't the end of the world.", and I would put HHGTG second in line after the Bible as an instructional tool. :D

    Just because the US is getting more secular and heading to a possible depression, doesn't mean it's the end of the world. I would guess that if you were living around the times before and after WWII that it would seem even more like the world was about to end.

    *changes course to head in right direction to get to end of the universe restaurant*

    One day every knee will bow down either by your own submission or forcibly to God. Instead of saying how wacky and insane it sounds try reading script first and see if it something that you can make a honest opinion about.

    I can say I hate menudo, but I have actually tried it.

    as reasonable as it may sound to you and I, some people will reject it until it's too late!

    That's the trouble with Americans. We are a naive people who believe that tragedies that happen to us are the worst things that can happen anytime anywhere to country.

    As bad as 9-11 was, it pales in comparison with the devastation experienced in Europe and Asia in WW II. Here in the Philippines, Manila was the second most devastated city in the war. (Warsaw was first). For that matter, in our country's own past, 50,000 Americans died in Vietnam, and soon we will have lost 4,000 in Iraq.

    Or how about this one: An earthquake in China during the 1970's killed over 400,000 people. Catastrophes, natural and otherwise, have occurred throughout history all over the world before and during common era. And they always will. Christians in particular need to get over themselves in believing that they are being "cursed" or "blessed" for whatever happens, start taking personal responsibility for their own lives, and stop interfering in the lives and beliefs of others.
