"End Times" Groups Want Apocalypse Sooner Rather than Later

Gee, well... I say let them go ahead and have their end times now and get off the planet so the rest of us don't have to listen to them.

Good riddance! And don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!

From the LA Times:

For thousands of years, prophets have predicted the end of the world. Today, various religious groups, using the latest technology, are trying to hasten it.

Their endgame is to speed the promised arrival of a messiah.

For some Christians this means laying the groundwork for Armageddon.

With that goal in mind, mega-church pastors recently met in Inglewood to polish strategies for using global communications and aircraft to transport missionaries to fulfill the Great Commission: to make every person on Earth aware of Jesus' message. Doing so, they believe, will bring about the end, perhaps within two decades.

Sadly, to some degree, the crisis in the Middle East can be tied directly to the far nutwing of the religious right here in the U.S., who feel they need to meddle in Israel and defeat the Muslims in order to have the rapture the way they want it.

This isn't good for anyone, including Israel, since while these nutcases says they befriend Jews, part of their ideology is that these Jews must be converted to Christianity for it to happen.
