they (da liebs, non-evangelical christians, jews, etc) don't seem to know OR care, these right-wing BIGOTS really WANT the non-evangelical christians, jews, da liebs and everyone else who is NOT them TO DIE AND BURN IN HELL. they don't give two flying yoo hoos about israel OR the jews or hindus or muslims or other christians or pagans or gays or people of color or on and on and on and on. other than they think that's where (israel) their imaginary friend lil' jesus is going to meet them AFTER armageddon and bring them on to total and complete rapture.
wake up wake up wake up. do you REALLY want this bunch o' crackpots (who wish you destroyed in life then burning in hell in death) as your buds?

Rapture Ready: The Unauthorized Christians United for Israel Tour
-max bluementhal
On July 16, I attended Christians United for Israel's annual Washington-Israel Summit. Founded by San Antonio-based megachurch pastor John Hagee, CUFI has added the grassroots muscle of the Christian right to the already potent Israel lobby. Hagee and his minions have forged close ties with the Bush White House and members of Congress from Sen. Joseph Lieberman to Sen. John McCain. In its call for a unilateral military attack on Iran and the expansion of Israeli territory, CUFI has found unwavering encouragement from traditional pro-Israel groups like AIPAC and elements of the Israeli government.
But CUFI has an ulterior agenda: its support for Israel derives from the belief of Hagee and his flock that Jesus will return to Jerusalem after the battle of Armageddon and cleanse the earth of evil. In the end, all the non-believers - Jews, Muslims, Hindus, mainline Christians, etc. - must convert or suffer the torture of eternal damnation. Over a dozen CUFI members eagerly revealed to me their excitement at the prospect of Armageddon occurring tomorrow. Among the rapture ready was Republican Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. None of this seemed to matter to Lieberman, who delivered a long sermon hailing Hagee as nothing less than a modern-day Moses. Lieberman went on to describe Hagee's flock as "even greater than the multitude Moses commanded." ..............

Boy, there sure are a lot of nuts in that can.
While my grandparents, the people most responsible for my religious upbringing, could get into a good hell fire and brimstone sermon every once and a while they never bought into the Rapture-is-tomorrow mindset. They had jobs, kids, bills, and the other everyday stuff we all face to worry about.
I could very well be wrong but I've seem to notice that those Christians eager for the Rapture never had to work as hard as those who just want to live by the basic Christian principles and get along with others. I guess I'm trying to say in a very clumsy way that the Rapture Christians seem to have far too much time and money allowing them to have their head in the clouds or stuck up their asses, depending on your point of view.
big ones mr shakespeare at that.
bb, i never really thought about it that way. perhaps you do have a point
