"dreams of the extermination of life on earth"
ReplyDeleteYou understand, of course, that we don't dream of exterminating ALL life on earth but, merely, heathens, apostates, heretics and anyone else with whom we might disagree from time to time. It's a fairly select group and has the makings of a made-for-TV movie (working title: "Return to Salem")
Amen, Brother Pewster, Amen Charlie! Let us all those who would live in anticipation of the immediate end times know that their own end time is nigh! (sorry, I got carried away by the sway of the language). It is irritating to hear people who are so focused on, and actually pleased about the End Times and the horrors those times will supposedly bring. As Christians, it is our duty to foster hope and look to the future with joy and willingness to work for that joy. Let us set about doing God's will, and the time that will take will fill our hours and our hearts so that we have no free time to meditate on the metaphors of Revelations. As Pewster points out, the hope of the world is represented by the baptism of the baby this past Sunday, not by those who thing that the end of the world is coming next Tuesday.

An unusual take on things oh secret one. I thought only a few would be raptured, "billions" kind of makes the rapture lose the appeal of exclusivity.
