Let It Burn

According to the Christian fundamentalists awaiting the return of Christ the Lord, the 'End of Days" crowd, the world must turn against Israel for the Armageddon to begin.

(Or are you a Muslim awaiting the return of Christ - http://www.endoftimes.net/index2.html)
For our Jewish friends don't forget
(Actively waiting for the Geulah hastens its arrival -http://www.moshiach.com/)

Shouldn't be long now. And who will be the "anti-christ", (pins and needles) well I gotta tell you the tension is building. The Muslims await the return of Christ 'the prophet', fanatical Jews are awaiting their Moshiach.

Should be a good show, the Armageddon will in all likelihood be televised. An extraordinary gala of misery, despair, hatred, intolerance, depravity and death. Of course biblical Armageddon will never happen and this only "proves" that men are still far more likely to follow the advice of their penis than their brain.

Though there are many forces allied in this dance of death, who are going to try their hardest to prove that they alone worship the one true God. Gotta love em. The creator of all things would not have to pit us against each other in a brutal blood bath to make himself or herself known to us. But I digress.

And of course it's an old story, (ignorance, intolerance, greed, hatred, hypocrisy, mistrust and war) but never before have we had such spectacularly powerful weapons and intensely morbid ways of killing so many people at once. YES! It's gonna be big.

Seems the ascent of man creeps along in fits and starts.

There were many of us, so hopeful, that this new millennium, filled with such promise, would bring incredible new rewards (he writes with a tear in his eye). With our new technology and understanding of physics and chemistry, along with incredible breakthroughs in biology we are poised to take a big leap forward in engineering and science, as well as human health and prosperity, it seemed as though never before had mankind had at his disposal such powerful tools to remake his world, but alas it seems that there are many among us (powerful forces) that are determined to take one giant step backwards.

Religious fanatics from the worlds three great monotheistic religions are determined to 'prove their point'. They worship the one true God, their religion alone hold the keys to knowledge righteousness and eternal truth. Religion aligned with enormous political and economic power (the alliance of religion and politics is always a bad sign, and has heralded death and despair throughout time).


You can tell them that we can all live together, they don't want to hear it. You can tell them that God is God, no matter what you call him/her or how you choose to pray, if you are praying to the one God, you are all praying to the "same God" (HELLO), "a rose by any other name" , but they don't get it. You can plead with them to think about what they are advocating (and raising money for ?) , death, misery and pain on an unimaginable scale, and point out that all the prophets preached the exact opposite. Jesus was not the prophet of "Zero tolerance". But they don't see it that way.

These people are convinced that they are doing God's work, and we know from many many experiences that when man tries to do God's work he fails utterly. I mean c'mon it's God for God sake, we are not exactly a replacement for the judgment and wisdom of God. But it is to no avail, these forces are determined to rumble, and the drums of war grow louder with each day.

Not with a bang but with a whimper.
