So.....my thought is does the administration really believe that if they repeat the same thing over and over that we all will believe it is true? Despite evidence to the contrary, such as common sense, logic, using our own minds, videos, pictures, etc? Why, oh, why do they feel we can't use our own minds? There is just way to much going on to hit it one by one. The item that I personally find most saddening is the use of faith, and the belief that it is divinely ordained. Not trying to sound judgemental (trying to follow the quote from Matthew), but I don't think that the administration (and their neo-conservative pastoral supporters) is reading the same scripture I am: Dominionism for the church is not in there, conversion by violence is not in there, amassing wealth by exploitation is not in there, ignoring and not caring for the less fortunate is not in there. From my studies of the prophets, these are reasons for the exile of Israel and Judah. According to my recent reads into the Second Testament, that goes contrary to the teachings of the Master. What I see is either fallible creatures trying to hasten the End Times, which will only come about from divine mandate (free of human interference), or incorrect interpretation of divinely inspired instructions. I will admit that I have serious doubts about pre-Tribulation Rapture, since the teaching is relatively recent (19th Century English preacher by the name of Darby). Plus, some of the reasoning is sketchy and scripture references are ambiguous and open-ended. If they use the "one must follow the ruling government for they are ordained by God" argument, let me make two points: first, they then violated scripture during the Clinton Administration. Second, then the U.S is an un-biblical nation. I have run out of steam, thus I shall end this. Just remember that questioning the standing government and calling them to account is patriotic, is full-blooded American, and strengthing the nation.
