3. they're like that crazy cousin of yours that messed up the fam. reunions

4. they just dont get that the whole thing is illogical.

After the rapture isn't 'jaysus' supposed to rule the earth in peace for 1000 years? So if they're 'saved' and the rest of humanity is destroyed, who's Jesus supposed to interact with on earth?

Maybe if they all really do get vaporized, the rest of us will actually be able to live here in peace.

5. Apostolic crusaders

These people would seem like harmless fringe folk if weren't for the times we are living in.
Gives a whole new meaning to Rumfilled's term "deadenders"

8. I e mailed this article to some of my Jewish friends

one of whom is orthodox. She defends the fundy Christians saying that Israel needs all the friends it can get. Neither she nor her husband care about their end time world views.
