      For real though, christians siding with israel and america as they spread war, famine, pestilence and death, all while preying on children and worshipping money.

      Christians are completely detached from their own belief system.

      If you’re going to look for god’s signs, you’d think this kind of thing would hold much more weight than whatever the local news guy is angry at this week

        Well the premillennial dispensationalists have been literally trying to bring about Armageddon for at least as long as I have been alive so it kinda tracks.

          As long as you aren’t a few hundred years old, I’d say this is an understatement

              If only we could be so lucky. Christopher Columbus was sort of a proto-premillennial dispensationalist and the Congregationalists (Puritans) have been premillennialism dispensationalists since the 1600s. And unfortunately, both of those particlar strains became theological undercurrents of new world colonialism and culture (hence the US being the hot bed for this sort of thing for most of its history).
