Apocalypse soon
As Israel batters Lebanon, some prophetic souls hear the trumpets sounding -- but why? Is it the end of the world as we know it? And do evangelicals feel fine?
By Jason Boyett [2006-08-07]

  • There Are Plenty of Steeples and Enough Rope -Do It Yourselves

    Those famous words uttered by a Roman officer to a group of Montanists in the 2nd Century who came to him demanding martyrdom in their town. And those words apply to the Loony Right.

    Jason Boynett's article is truly frightening. The other part of the story is that Darby got the rapture (sic) from the Plymouth Brethern in the early 1830's. The Loony Right can trace its interpretation of the end of the world to a tuberculine young Scottish lass, Margaret Macdonald, who revealed the rapture (sic) to her friends while in a fevered coma. So much for their biblical interpretations!

    Don't take the rest of us with you, Evangelicals.

    I'll supply the rope.
