two religious groups trying each in their own way to invoke the Rapture. Yesterday's news was the NAR... the charismatic fringe groups aka Dominionists. They're trying to do it domestically.

The othet group is Huckabees... the fringe evangelicals. They're trying both to provoke war in the ME and "need" to covert 'x' number of Jesw to Christianity to get their rapture started.

Unfortunately, these fringe religionists will end up killing us all just to get their jollies off. Politics and religion... bad bedfellows!
