End of times rant continued

I'm still angry about the Evangelical-rapture-Israel crap. I've been steamed about it for years but recently it's gone beyond just scaring people, stoking people's own egos about their being "saved" and making money off of books into actually war profiteering and political oppression.

Rather than rant more about the lack of spirituality demonstrated by this sector of Evangelicals I will point out some religious theology.

People who assume they "know" "when" or "what signs" point to the end of time are cutting off their own (and other people's) noses, by "pulling the trigger" before God even intends it.

These stupid people who think they will be raptured (at all) say nothing of thinking it is in the foreseeable future are causing trouble in the world that God does not intend.

How do they know that what they "think" are "signs" is not God giving people a chance to take hold of their own faiths and be reborn for a new period of peace on earth? That is God's plan, you fools. God will not "end times" until it is pointless for humanity to try to continue and flourish. You people are so mean and stupid that when God grants many "second" chances (that's second chance, not Second Coming) you poop all over the chances at the cost of lives, health, and yes, souls for Christ

Rapturists are such a disgrace I'm ashamed, deeply ashamed, that they use the word "Christian." The average Muslim who believes that God wills what he wills and is all merciful is more a Christian that you so called rapturist Evangelicals. What a disgrace. You embarrass me.

During the Haj many Muslims explained, correctly, that while God wants devotion and correctness, he also does not want people to suffer needlessly in the carrying out of their devotions. How beautiful that insight is. Compare that to people who like gory gamesters count down military conflicts and natural disasters, drooling that this is the "sign" that they will be raptured and God will rip new *holes in the people left behind. Who has the Charity? Who has the faith in this comparison, by truly understanding God?

rapture theology = dog vomit
