I wish it were fiction:
Meet The Radical Evangelical Army Behind Rick Perry
The main divergence between the New Apostolic Reformation and other Christian fundamentalist sects is their differing views of how End Times will go down.
New Apostles reject the traditional fundamentalist belief that born-again believers will be lifted up in the Rapture.
Instead, New Apostles believe [...]

Singularly terrifying must read from the Texas Observer.
On September 28, 2009, at 1:40 p.m., God’s messengers visited Rick Perry.
On this day, the Lord’s messengers arrived in the form of two Texas pastors, Tom Schlueter of Arlington and Bob Long of San Marcos, who called on Perry in the governor’s office inside the [...]

Not a joke:

Who are these Volunteer Pet Caretakers and how do I know they’ll take good care of my pets?
Most Volunteer Pet Caretakers fit this description:

They are atheist or another non-Christian religion.
They love animals enough to register with us even though they do not believe there will be a Rapture (or are agnostic about it).
They [...]

A Q&A with Harold Camping:
Q: Who gets to ascend to heaven?
A: Those who accept Christ as the messiah. Even Jews are invited, says Camping, but only if they accept Christ – which would seem to make them no longer Jewish.
Q: How many will be Raptured?
A: Campbell estimates 200 million. The remaining nearly 7 [...]

Spent the morning looking into books by Nephilim-heads – people who think aliens are demons. A scary lot, but a pretty inevitable jumping off point from End Times hysteria. So I bought one.
There’s one reason my book’s not astoundingly successful – as compared to the Christianist/Alien books, which sell very well [...]

Really good mini-documentary from CNN – no reporter mucking it up, just letting the subject speak. More of this, mainstream news:

Background:

By God’s grace and tremendous mercy, He is giving us advanced warning as to what He is about to do. On Judgment Day, May 21st, 2011, this 5-month period of horrible torment will [...]

“We are at the place where the Constitution hangs in the balance,” Beck told Bill O’Reilly on November 14, 2008, just after President Obama’s election. “I feel the Constitution is hanging in the balance right now, hanging by a thread unless the good Americans wake up.”
The Constitution is hanging by a thread.
Most Americans [...]

Expect more of this from Fox News, as Fox morphs from a political into a religious network:

BTW, they spell “Armageddon” wrong.

I don’t generally watch much TV at 2 in the morning, but I couldn’t sleep last night and turned it on and there was the Jack Van Impe Ministries show on channel 13.  I’ve seen their faces but never bothered to watch a show, but this is pretty terrible End Times stuff, made the worse [...]

A confession – I have only read pieces of the Left Behind books.  I still might try to absorb the whole thing, but there’s something about the prose that’s just asking me not to read it.  The emptiness is so thick I find it hard to pay attention. There’s bad prose and then there’s [...]
