Yeah. 65 million people. You better get a reality check also.

Let me confirm this: You're saying there are 65 million people who
believe
this rapture bull****, and that's OK with you?



As I said 65 million people? You better get a reality check also.



You're a slippery devil. It's not worth my time to even guess at the
actual
number, or read backward. The issue is THE BELIEF these people hold, and
that they are willing to manipulate politics to support that belief.
Basing
your voting on belief in a war or bad grammar is one thing. Basing it on
religion puts you in the category of "get measured for a straightjacket".


The fact that you believe that 65 million believe this is what's scary!

The numbers don't matter. You know that. If they have the president's ear,
it's a problem. We already meddle too much in the Middle East because of
natural resources and egotistical reasons. Adding a wacko religion to our
motives is simply not acceptable.


I'm not the one who is tossing the 65 million number around as though it is
gospel! Seems to me you've been confirming the hell out of that number!!!!

Now, if you *believe* that Bush is being influenced by these folks in such a way
that he will soon start lobbing nukes around the world so he can enjoy a
'rapture', then I think you should invest in a bomb shelter, get in it, and stay
off your computer. Someone is probably recording everything you say.
