Note to American Voters: There is no escape!

[Citizen James]

Were Bin Laden to be killed or captured, they would issue messages celebrating his martyrdom.  It's called spin.  No matter what happens they will issue statements claiming that they are winning and curent events are somehow to their advantage.

[Citizen James]

Of course there are also a lot of dispensationalists who also yearn for a bloody war in the middle east, as they see it as a forebear of 'end times' as interpereted by their prophet John Nelson Darby by stringing together various phrases out of the old and new testaments along with a number of vauge 'interperetations' which had nothing to do with history and a lot to do with apocolyptism.

In their twisting of fate and yearning for violent struggle (as well as opposition to any sort of spiritual  or intelectual growth), one almost has to wonder if the two groups are not both closer to Crowley than the Christ.

[Citizen James]

Well, I'm not up to looking up "every single prophet". Though I doubt that all the speakers in the Bible spoke as a single Greek chorus; claiming that wars will happen and disasters will occur is like predicitng death and taxes.  And through it all the rain will "fall on the just and the unjust".

On the spelling, guilty as charged.  I certainly would not win any spelling bees.  However, the old Grammarian dodge is so old and worn that I have to wonder if you recognize that these exchanges to be eseentially meaningless beyond a bit of an exersize in mental gymnastics.

And it would seem to me from your postings that yearn (definition 1) describes you to a T.  As for forsee, I consider Mr. Darby to be a false prophet - and possibly you as well as you seem so certain of your ineritterant belief in very specific interperetations of texts which are quite vague.

 Perhaps you are dragging the scriptures out of their historical context and twisting them so you can feel important as one of the "good guys" in a world filled only with the good, the evil, and the ignorant sheep.  I really don't know.  I wish you could get the help you seem to need, but you must use your God-Given free will to turn away from your madness and recognize that faith (even some varieties of fundementalist faith) goes far beyond and far deeper than a petty "us vs. them" mentality.   Remember what Jesus said was the second most important commandment.  Does that not mean anything to you?  Or is war and enimity all you know?
