    Exclamation Armageddon is coming...don't forget to pray



    So just remember kids, that when the world ends, that it is not because of "Global Warming & Climate Change" as a result of our ongoing neglect of the environment...it is not because we nuked each other in a competition for the planets dwindling resources...no, it is because you did not pray enough.

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Cool Movie, when's it out?

    Anyway, Armageddon is always "coming", this is not news - why are you wasting my time.

    This promo is about everything good and decent in America under siege from our lack of faith. Except for the Matterhorn, which is in godless Europe and should not be present in this video. Couldn't they find a decent mountain in the Rockies or Tetons for that shot?

    Is Armageddon the same as Rapture? I get confused by terminology. What happens to Mayans? Is it OK if I pray on the weak?

    So....

    Basically, the god these people believe in is a mafia boss? You only pay your mob boss because you fear he'll whack you, and it seems like that's the motiviaton these people have for prayer... Their god sounds like a 7-year old spoiled brat, who will wreck up the place if he doesn't get the attentition he craves.

    just catching on now? ever read the old testament? :P

    it's a very bipolar view of this deity....he's a just and loving god and he cares about you personally...but if you question him or don´t pray enough he will condemn you to the worse place imaginable were you will be tormented forever...

    'BELIEVE ME OR DIE!!!'........
    well...thank you lord...for all those options!

    and let us not forget we are dealing with the same entity that one time was supposedly very pissed off with all of humanity...and instead of talking with us and offering guidance as to how we could correct our behavior he just decided to drown everyone!!!
    If it pleases the court....I move that this "god" can´t be trusted based on previous behavior.

    anyway....I´m confident I´m doing good work.

    I'm not sure, but I think I stopped that Mayan thingie when I finished Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy, whatever was the title of the game) so don't worry, you guys are gonna be okay...

    Supposedly the rapture comes before the Armageddon.
    When the end of the world (Armageddon) is about to happen, the true believers would be whisked up to heaven...

    think about it like an airport VIP service....you get to board earlier and get extra peanut packets.
    so this is why so many religious lunatics cream their pants at the thought of the Rapture...the idea is that you get to go to heaven without dying......which seems to still scare them....which for people that supposedly have THAT much faith is kinda funny.

    so you get to board early and are spared dying...the bad side is that you miss the main event show! Come on man...the Armageddon, I want ring side seats! It's gonna be better than wrestlemania!!!
    .....not to mention that if you get in the rapture it basically garandamntees you are gonna be stuck with some boring prudes for all of eternity....woohooo! party time!

    That's the problem I have with the video as well from a religious point of view.

    Although they might just say that they want it to happen later so they can save more unbelievers.

    such self-serving "selfless" sacrifice..lol my favorite kind.

    it's kinda like how the christian hard-line groups are all pro-israel.....because it says in the bible that Israel has to exist at the end of days so that the rapture works correctly.

    The whole rapture thing is a pretty modern idea, the only Christians that believe it are some Evangelicals, mostly in the USA, after it was invented by a witch during WWII.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    It's a totally American thing and typical of there fast track approach to getting to heaven "hey man we dont even need to die to get to heaven".
