Do you therefore have any doubt about me
asking of the UK still takes politiical refugees??? Although once someone like Palin takes real power and holds the atomic button, the whole world will be blown up as these people don't wory about death and destruction as they think they the second coming is going to happen any day.

(One of the biggest sets of fiction in the US is the "end of days" fiction about the Apocalypse. People actually believe in this shit).

End of days fiction? Sounds like a good sci-fi novel but I'm guessing it's not...

Nope, They are pure christian right fiction
where the saved were lifted straight to heaven and the somewhat good are trying to fight evil and follow Christ as he kills all of Satan;s legions(or at least that is what I've been told,I won't read this stuff).

You mean to say people in positions of power and authority are peddling this as though there's a shred of credibility in it?
I guess I'm not that surprised. People really can be fucking stupid sometimes. (And this is why I think people give Richard Dawkins an unecessarily hard time.)

There is aparenlty a big debate amongst some evangelicals as to whether or not
they will ascend into heaven with or without their clothes when the rapture comes. (They believe their bodies will be physically lifted into heaven and some are really concerned they will be naked as clothes are human and only god's pure people will be allowed into heaven.)

And these guys have access to nuclear weapons!! Why are we worried about North Korea and Iran?
