Scary

January 5, 2007

“Evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday that God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would cause a “mass killing” late in 2007.” - CNN.com

The thing that scares me most about Pat Robertson is not his crazy lunatic theology or prophecies; what scares me most is his power and his capability to work behind the scenes to make his crazy prophecies come true.

I am the first to admit that I am biased against fundamentalist theology and rapture prophecies: I think they’re full of crap and miss the point of the gospel. But what scares me the most is that these people are so eager for the end of the world to come they are literally working to make it happen. Should someone like Pat Robertson add his power and influence, I am afraid we are fighting a battle we may not be able to win.

Meanwhile, what a sad way live - always waiting for the end. Yes, we live in a world with many, many problems; but we also live in a world of astounding beauty and think how much you’re missing when you keep on waiting for the end. I don’t understand.
