Perhaps you could explain, then, how your paranoia is any different than theirs. How do you define tiny and huge and how does one go to the other. Do you sit around and twiddle your thumbs till something becomes so large you become alarmed? How is your reaction to reactors to these Christian sects any different than their reactions. It looks just as knee jerk to me.
Different than whom?

The rampant, nativity-scenes-run-amok, paranoid left, of course.

The banner line in the article says:
Some influential evangelical leaders are lobbying for an attack on Iran. But it's not about geopolitics -- it's about bringing about the End Times.
It's not bashing all Christians to think this particular loudmouth wingnut is obviously a few frejoles short of a combination plate. Are you trying to tell us you don't think so? :roll:

Gotchya. Not really different. I just think the rampant, nativity-scenes-run-amok, paranoid left is incapable or unwilling of seeing the true religious/"ism" threat in this world, namely radical fundamentalist islam.

My question revolves around why you think this. I see a movement toward more and more religious fundamentalism all over the world. I think, in part, it is due to stress, anxiety, culture shock, rapid development, enormous social problems, political uncertainty and all the rest. Simple minds need simple answers, demand them really since people don't like living in pain. I see this all as part of this greater threat. It just so happens that the Islamic world is exposed, and has been exposed to a whole ton of these stresses. I think your attitude to Islam is just more of this same fundamentalist reactivity, the need to have an enemy out there you can unload on. You have in common with fundamentalists every were the certainty that you are right. You know the true enemy. In my opinion, the only enemy I have is me, the delusion I suffer that my ego is me.

I should have known my response was wasted. For a while there your account had been hijacked by a rational person.

Hehe, of course. When your irrationality is exposed call the other person irrational and make a brilliant case of it via a profoundly rational argument such as 'hijacked'. Every time I ask somebody to examine their unexamined assumptions they show me they are incapable of thoughtful analysis. You, sir were no exception. But your opinion is more important to you than being sane and I can't change that.

The David Koresh types don't wield nearly the power that the Armageddon Lobbyists do.

Power that "armegeddon lobbyists" wield? Pah-lease...why don't you show some legislation that the "armageddon lobbyists" pushed or helped passed. Or perhaps a candidate they "supported" that did - anything - in their favor.

Good luck, I'll check back with bells on... :roll:
The candidates and legislation are countless beyond mention at this point, and the results are a matter of geographical fact.

I thought this was about right-wing Christians? Ah - no response to my logic but you can't resist...
:music:Trolling, trolling, all the live long day... :music:
This is about Armageddon lobbyists, and Jewish control of Jerusalem is a primary goal for those wishing to bring on the Raputre.
