I Got Your Extremism Right Here.
You know how those crazy Islamic suiciders think all those virgins are waiting for them on the other side of martydom? I know it's just crazy isn't it? Well, what about evangelical Christians and their reaction to increased violence in the middle east? Crazy too? Here's one commenter's mindset.
"I too am soooo excited!! I get goose bumps, literally, when I watch what's going on in the M.E.!! And Watcherboy, you were so right when saying it was quite a day yesterday, in the world news, and I add in local news here in the Boston area!! Tunnel ceiling collapsed on a car and killed a woman of faith, and we had the most terrifying storms I have ever seen here!! But, yes, Ohappyday, like in your screen name , it is most indeed a time to be happy and excited, right there with ya!!"
A time to be happy? Happy because of violent chaos. Happy that violent chaos was happening, especially in the middle east because that indicates what? It's getting closer to the time when the "true believers" will be supernaturally transported to a place called heaven that we can't see right now. This supernatural event stars Jesus in what is a long awaited (2000 years) sequel to his first supernatural event. The first time it was the "resurrection", now it's the "rapture". Caught up to meet their Lord. That's what this person was "...soooo excited...." about that she got "goose bumps".
An Islamic radical believes he's doing God's will by blowing himself up in order to kill others and ultimately be awarded many virgins in the hereafter for his trouble. An American evangelical believes he's doing God's will by excitedly pointing to that suicide as evidence of God's ultimate victory and upcoming presentation of his bride, his church, like a virgin to Jesus in the supernatural rapture. You say, well at least the rapture believer isn't violent in this life. That's true, however the violence all evangelicals know is coming, also causing goose bumps, is what comes after the rapture. See, God is going to let the winds of strife loose after the rapture and all manner of plague and violence will ensue, leading eventually to God's great violent act of eternal hellfire and brimstone torment to all who don't join the club. "Oh happy day...right there with ya'..."
It sure is clear that those guys in the middle east are extremist radicals. There're sure not like us. Not a bit.

Why is it that all you liberals want to attack good American Christians with this hatefull rhetoric? Is it maybe because you want America to fail in the "M.E." and elsewhere in our quest to spread the democracy of Christianity outlined in the Bible?
Why degrade the Christian values that have nutured the growth of the United States of America, the U.S.A., through hundreds of years of history? From the founding of the continent by one of the greatest Americans that has ever lived, Christopher Columbus, to the assisted immigration of literally thousands of Africans to this country helping to diversify our melting pot! All of these things couldn't have happened without the helping hands of God and Baby Jesus!
The plans of God cannot be fathomed by mortals. But, I believe the U.S.A. has been formed by Baby Jesus to dominante the world with our superior moral high-ground and be integral to "the end of days". The U.S.A. is but a tool of the Lord to be wielded, much as a sword, to cleve the righteous from the wicked.
So, Mr. Unmutual you can take all of this disharmoniousness to your grave to rot with your trapped soul.
