It also helps that it removes these looney tunes from the gene pool.

Thats one good way to look at it, I haven't really got a problem with religious nuts removing theselves from the gene pool, its when they allow this to inflict on thier children i have a problem...

Maybe there should be some kind of questionaire for new parents to fill out, could make it multiple choice or something

Your child is in unrgent need of medical care, Do you

A) Take them to the doctor / phone an ambulance
B) same as above but pray to a higher power for his health
C) Do not seek medical attention as praying to a higher power will do the job...

A's and B's take the children home, C's children get put in the hands of someone responsible... like maybe an A or a B with a spare room

God doesn't intervene in the world much nowadays because this is the time where everybody will mock Christians and the scripture and things are happening just like in Revelation.

When did he stop intervening or lessen his interference... in recent times (with abortion and gays) back in the enlightenment... one of the world wars maybe ?

Out of interest (maybe we should open another topic for this) but apart from Israel being there (which i think the book made happen rather than predicted, its like predicting a child will be a failure so not bothering to teach him anything... then being proved right when hes a failure as an adult...) so what other signs are there pointing to it ?
