> actively want to see the apocalypse happen I read the article you referred to. That's a gross misrepresentation of her comments and views. You're implying that Bachmann would do things to try to bring about economic and societal collapse, but that's completely false. Rather, the truth is that she interprets current events as being indicative of the inevitable coming of her interpretation of biblical prophecy about end times. If you don't understand the difference, then it suggests to me an anti-Christian bias on your part. Now, what is actually written in the Bible? "But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mk 13:32) If Jesus didn't know, then I don't think Michele Bachmann or anyone else knows, whether or not they are or claim to be a Christian. And you know what else is doing real harm to the fabric of our society? Painting all Christians as "fringe" and "fundamentalists" who are "doing real harm to the fabric of society." Think about who the real enemy is. If you offend one group's sensibilities by ridiculing their prophet, they riot and murder people. If you offend another group the same way, they...what? Hold prayer vigils? Oh, those evil Christians! America will surely be a better place when they're all gone! Just remember that when you sweep them out, something else will take their place. And that something else has already stated its intention to subjugate all peoples under its laws, or else kill them. Be careful what you wish for.
