From Rapture Ready

"The sherriff's a ********??"

That's what I thought, but I didn't want to add racism to my mental list of the things I find dislikeable in kurious_kathy's internet persona without confirmation from her that this is indeed what she meant.

It is such a pity that you have not even the tiniest understanding of irony. I would love to point out to you that there are fundamentalist Muslims in Asia that say the goal of Christians is to convert every mosque to a church.

Kathy may well agree.

I didn't think of that. I suppose we could ask her. On the other hand, if she is going to answer only one question, I'd rather hear her response to why Obama does not look like a Christian.

P.S. Sorry if I'm paranoid about a Muslim being the US President, but I believe that would be one of the worst things that could happen to us in the USA. We all know their agenda is to convert all all churches to mosques and I do not want to see that happen in my country. Did I forget to remind you I am an American girl too? Even if I wasn't a Christian I would take a stand on some of these issues as I care very much about the US being a FREE country.

What's that, Kathy? The sherriff is a-near?

I was about to repeat my question asking why you think Obama doesn't "look like" a Christian. But I think I have my answer. The above is one of the most ignorant and bigoted things I've read on this forum.

I had a realization today.
Kathy, I take back my claim. I do not believe that you are racist. I do not think that it is Obama's race that you have a problem with. I think it is his intelligence.
You are anti-intellectual.

I believe the evidence is quite overwhelming once it is considered:
1.) You refuse to read books that contain ideas that are challenging to you. (The Hokulele Book challenge is the perfect example of this)
2.) You reject evolution outright, without bothering to understand or learn about it.
3.) You claim to understand science, but then get angry when asked to demonstrate your understanding. You even offer up non-sequitors about child rearing, as though being a mother some how excuses ignorance.
4.) You attack the medical profession for their failures yet fail to understand or appreciate the successes.
5.) You don't actually read the bible with the intent on understanding it. Rather, you flip open to random sections and read for inspiration as though you were a mystic reading the I Ching.

Your problem with Obama is that he portrays a learned sense of self that you do not understand. That is what is alien to you and what makes you uncomfortable. Bush spoke of the word in simple terms, the way a child would. Obama does not boil the world down into such clear (and wholly false) black and white terms. He shows an understanding that is new to you, and that is what scares you.

You rebel against learning. You rebel because of what that learning would mean. It would mean the possibility of learning that this whole time you were wrong. Therefore, you reject learning and those who are learned. Kathy, you are anti-intellectual.

It's known that the Muslims have succeeded in converting many old churches to mosques already and they won't stop until they try to take over the whole USA which unfortunately I myself see Obama helping them. Why can't people stop this? The fairness act is not fair at all as it serves the Muslim nations to try to shut up all Christians which just isn't fair. We have just as much right to stand up for our faith as anyone does.

Can you say specifically what Obama is doing to help Muslims in America take over Christian churches? This claim sounds a lot like the usual right-wing smears against Obama: He's a Muslim; he's not really a U.S. citizen; yada yada yada. As in the case of the "swift boat veterans" who suddenly materialized to demonize Senator Kerry when he was running for the presidency, one wonders why these people didn't speak up before. Obama won a fair election, taking both the popular and electoral vote. If you voted against him, live with the fact your side lost - just as I had to live through eight years of Bush. If you do not have specific facts to back up your assertions against Obama, they amount to nothing more than baseless accusations and smears.

Also, what actual specific evidence do you have for any sort of phenomenal growth of Islam in the U.S. as opposed to the growth of Christianity? If what you assert is true, you should have no trouble supplying statistics and telling us what your sources are. I might add that, if Islam's spread in the U.S. is mainly limited to African Americans, since they make up only about 11% of our population, the impact of such a growth in Islam limited to that single ethnic group has no chance whatsoever in taking over the country.
 
OBAMA. IS. NOT. A. MUSLIM.

(Sorry, I tried to make it words of one syllable so KK could understand them, but there's nothing to be done with "Obama" and "Muslim." They will be multi-syllabic, the stubborn things.)

And furthermore, what's wrong with being a Muslim? (Except for any objections one might have to religiousity.)

I'm sure that KK thinks the 1st amendment was a mistake and that the government should make it illegal for non-christians to hold office.

It sure looks like he's working hard to get our economy even more vulnerable so the US crashes and then their agenda of socialism will begin. I believe the government has become too greedy and most politicians are on a power trip. (I wish it was different) The US does not want or need the government to run everything, yet it's on it's way isn't it?

What would make you think the government is going to run anything? Socialism would be a good thing compared to what we are getting, which is corporate fascism. They have a president who pretended to be a socialist when he ran, but that is just a smokescreen for putting a fascist dictatorship in place. Once people realize they have been had, it will be too late. Obama works directly for the bankers. The government is just the agents of the bankers, as free (to them) bureaucrats to implement the bankers agenda. The government has handed down all their authority to the banks and the banks will only do what benefits them. Socialism would actually care about the people. The banker controlled medical system is only going to be a place to go and die in comfortable surroundings and no actual medical care. Get your vaccinations from the bio-weapons lab. Have planes flying over your house spraying chemicals into the air. Once we are all dead, sell all the real-estate to the Chinese.
P.S. Sorry if I'm paranoid about a Muslim being the US President, but I believe that would be one of the worst things that could happen to us in the USA. We all know their agenda is to convert all all churches to mosques and I do not want to see that happen in my country. Did I forget to remind you I am an American girl too?

The soft kill weapons will leave all the mosques intact, so they will be ready for occupancy, once all those pesky Christians are dead.
P.S.S. Is the rapture here yet? I can pray the Lord would hurry but there are still many people I love that aren't saved yet and I do not want them to miss it. Getting out of this messed up world is something to look forward to but in the meantime I intend to fight the good fight of FAITH!

Hurry up converting your friends because the nukes might be going off Monday. That might be a clear sign to sceptics that something is wrong in Wonderland. They have all these tactical weapons moved in ready for action on the Georgian/Russian border to continue the fighting they had going last year.
The four horsemen of the Apocalypse are the first four seals and there are seven, so you might have to go through the trouble. If the rapture saves anyone from anything, it would be the plagues. If the pre-tribulation idea of the rapture was right, you would already be gone. Since you are still here, the best you can hope for is a mid-tribulation rapture, if you are lucky, and that means another three years. (figuring we are already six months into the tribulation)

kurious_kathy, I don't think anyone can truly say that the Rapture will occur before the tribulation period. So many Christians believe this, but there is little evidence, other than our own wants.

Jesus and the apostles went through pain and suffering, what makes you think we won't suffer the same?

I fear that many Christians will turn away from Christianity when they are still here and the tribulation has begun. I see the tribulation as sort of a wine press to weed out the weak Christians and strength the faith of the strong.

As for Obama being a Muslim or not. Who cares? He's there because God has allowed it and we all know that the destruction of the US is assured. I would be more worried about my soul and doing right than about my government and what it is doing.

You sound like a Dominionist which is rather scary.
 
Three at oncest. 2012 hasn't got a chance; it'll all be over before it gets here.

The US folk disagree with you. Polling tells us that the worst things would be an atheist. Mixing and matching prejudice, that would probably be a black woman atheist.

Well, let's take a look at this statement a little more closely.

What do you consider "near"? Do you realize that people have been claiming that the rapture is "near" for almost 2000 years? What will you do 10 or even 20 years from now when it is demonstrated that the rapture is no "nearer" than it was 2000 years ago?

In other words, you are being had, and it isn't a new con scheme.

Interestingly, this isn't quite accurate - Xtians have certainly been thinking that Christ would return soon for almost 2000 years, but only believed in KK's type of rapture and eschatological thinking for under 200 years.

Ah, good point. There is more than one type of apocalyptic thinking, and I really should know better than to conflate them.
