My right wing brother says the end times are here!
Advertisements [?]
And now that they've been resoundingly defeated in the political arena, they turn to this. The beginning of the end of the world! My brother insists that a "world leader"(he assumes it's Obama) gets assassinated(by Muslims) very soon, which ushers in great world-wide turmoil, leading to the peace maker(the Anti-Christ) appearing on the scene and most of the world's population getting drawn into his spell. I found it interesting he didn't believe the Anti-Christ to be Obama! We are also getting pushed into a one-world government led by the European Union. Naturally, this is an evil development. I said to him that perhaps a one world government may not be a bad thing if it keeps us from killing each other over dwindling energy resources. Anyway, I told him to chill out already. Just because it's the end of the world as he knows it(politically), he doesn't have to go all apocalyptic on me!
We were raised in a non-denominational fundie church which believes in the end times interpretations of the Book of Revelations. My brother has never been quite right in the head. He's college educated but has always seemed to be drawn into the spells of guru type personalities like Limbaugh and these wacko end times preachers such as Hagee. My brother actually told me last week that he's relieved now that he may have been wrong in figuring he'd never have to plan for retirement. He thought he screwed up and that he should have done so and was coming to realize this. Now that the economy is tanking and his party has been thoroughly rejected, he's out there on "the edge" so to speak. Now he's back to his original end times scenario and he's now "excited" about the end being near! It is so fucking sweet hearing him like this! It tells me we ROCKED his world to it's foundation with this election!
