[Image of Jonathan Falwell praying from Daylife.com]Mark Karlin at BuzzFlash was good enough to share an e-mail he received from Jonathan Falwell, son of the late Christian rightwingnut, Jerry Falwell. It appears that yes, insanity is hereditary!
Falwell (Jonathan), says Karlin, set his (Karlin's) mind at rest: "All I need to do is forget about the bills piling up, grab my Bible, and fasten my seat belt for the Rapture, because Jesus is on his way!"
Among other things, Falwell's e-mail noted:
"The New Testament leaves us with the anticipation that Jesus could come at any time." Yup. It's only been 2,000 plus years and these dipshits are still sitting under the plum tree waiting for the fruit to drop!
Not only so, but Luke 21:25 tells us the signs which will indicate Jesus is about to parachute back down to earth (no 15-year old Jewish maiden this time!). There are six, count 'em, six "modern developments indicating that the stage is set for the return of Christ." And here they are! Tada!
1. Israel got the so-called "Promised Land" back (in 1948!)
2. Islam is gonna embiggen.
3. Lots of extremists around the world gonna cause truble.
4. Political unification of Europe. Heh. Heh. What Europe is he talking about?
5. Peace attempts in the Middle East fail. So what's new. Peace attempts in the Middle East have been failing for at least 4,000 years!
6. Worldwide threat of nuclear weapons.
Now, you may wonder how these fruitcakes got all of this from Luke 21:25. Well, to be honest, they didn't. They make this crap up. And they pretend they know what the hell they're talking about, and people send them lots of money and buy their idiotic books.
It is all unadulterated bullshit!
And it's about time decent human beings called these religious creeps on their demented ravings. And where are the "liberal" Christians? Why don't they speak out loudly and clearly?

Wow! I did not know that the Bible spoke of such things. What version does Farwell,Jr. read? Maybe he can find some sections that address our nation’s problems, just in case the Rapture is put off again for a few hundred years or so. If the Rapture is coming soon, why not convert all his assets and use the proceeds to make the final years of the poor a little bit better while they wait? I think Jesus would like that.
I noticed in the picture of the young Falwell praying with another guy, how these people always look like they are straining their brains when they pray. What would their minds have to do with a genuine spiritual experience? Of course, they don't have one, but it is funny to see them try SOOOO hard to look like they are--the first sign of a phony.
