Endtimes: Postponed Again

Whew! I had a motherpluck of a panic attack this morning- by the time I got my shit together, I realized today was supposed to be the Apocalypse. If I'd known the world was ending I'd probably still be freaked- but I didn't. Whew!

But if you need an EndTimes Fix, here ya go:

If there is a Satan, you know he loves stuff like this.

"You are on a mission -- both a religious mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state -- especially moderate, mainstream Christians. Your mission is 'to conduct physical and spiritual warfare'; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice. You have never felt so powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life."

A video game where you get to kill Buddhists? I like video games where you fight dragons and aliens and other scary monsters, but Buddhists?
They are not scary.
Only a real pussy would be afraid of Buddhists, but I guess that's the root of the whole fundamentalist problem: Fundies are, at the core, insecure and paranoid little bullies who are terrified of anything they don't understand- which is everything.

"On the one hand, this video game is anti-American, because it endorses roving death squads engaged in faith-based violence without any regard for Constitutional law. On the other hand, the video game is anti-Christian, because it argues that the Kingdom of God can be advanced by using the methods and tools of the kingdoms of this world, namely guns and bombs."

Amen.
