You're right, it took the election of George Bush to get people to want
to vote democratic again...

So like what happens if like this doesn't happen, Like it hasn't happened
for anyone else the past 2000 years?  Have you ever actually read the Bible
or do you just go on what the guys in the TV tell you?  Remember, if
you read alt.alien.visitors, the Rapture is coming October 28th (moved
from October 14th because Christ had to make a house call on Bolognius
VII).  So prepare and beware!

Didn't this already happen during the Industrial Revolution?  How about
when Christopher Columbus enslaved and wiped out all those native
Americans?  How about when they premiered _Three's Company_?

And don't forget that he gives us all FREE ICE CREAM!

>Again to follow up these 3 points, follow up to talk.religion.misc.

Nah, follow up to talk.bizarre, this isn't Christianity you're talking
about...  This is "Family Values", the brand new lowfat, low IQ religion
that puts your brain on hold no matter if you're young or old...

Amen Brother!  After reading 1984, Brave New World, The Sheep Look Up,
Children of the Thunder, On the Beach, Neuromancer, Dhalgren, and
A Clockwork Orange, I realized just how bad off we really are!  Not.

>Hopefully, this clears up somethings before a great big mess take place.

Yeah, you're right, you need a massive dose of kaopectate dude...
