Also in my view the only people hell bent on destroying Christians are the Christians themselves with all the talk of the end of the world.
Any religion with end of times prophecies is one to be ignored, people are actively trying to bring about the end of times just to prove to the world they are right.
I will actively fight these people getting into real power.

I think that also, It just scares the bejebus out off me that people really want it to happen, how many books how many priests have we seen saying the "rapture" or the end of times is coming? and people foam at the mouth wanting it to happen.
People take metaphors as something completely different and try to get others to follow their view.
I have the view humanity is pretty good as a whole but Religion can make a good man do bad things.

Thing is it they only have faith that it will happen, what If after the red button is pressed and there is no rapture, no second coming...cheers Christian/Muslim/Jewish person with your finger on the button you just fecked up the whole world.
Like I said as long as Religion has no power in the real world I see no problem with it, but when it is in state and world affairs (like it already is) decisions that will effect the whole planet can be made just on someones faith...to me this is insanity.edit on 1-8-2013 by boymonkey74 because: (no reason given)

you watched it? sounds like part of the impetus for the removal of christians from the planet, is so the rich guys can get richer. marxism is nothing more than an opportunity for elitist capitalists to consolidate the labor and wealth of the planet, into their own hands and pretend like it's a government that shares with others. shares what? the left over scraps that fall from their table -- and we're lucky if we even get that, just ask the Ukrainians.

of course christians are targets. they don't adhere to the atheistic view of the elitists, that humans are merely animals with no redeeming values other than what they can provide to the state, and they tend to want to think their own thoughts and expect the government to behave itself. that puts them right up top on the list, next to any other groups that don't want to rubber stamp genocides and theft by the state.
