anotheranonTaking the morning to catch up on different news/commentary sites.
I've suspected this for awhile but this is the first article I've seen about it. "Antichrist politics: For many fervent Christians, support for Israel has less to do with Ariel Sharon than preparing for Armageddon." (Salon Premium, but the few teaser paragraphs say enough).
That's just wrong, that politicians would allow their religious beliefs to color their political activities in order to make some nebulous "prophecy" come true. Truly there are no bounds to human gullibility.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: these are good days to be an atheist.
