Apocalyptic beliefs and the US

Sigh.

Edit: And, just so this post isn't just filler, Guav and his secret army of news sources weigh in on the most recent Amnesty International report.

Sigh again.

I should also really learn to stay out of WW forum arguments.

*nods* There's actually a passage in the Bible that covers that, though - I wish I could remember the number. But it points out that between, e.g., a Philistine (? Do I have the right group? Oh well, non-Jewish type) lives right their whole life and tries to do good and a Jewish/Christian type who just goes with the flow and figures they'll just get into Heaven because of that, it would be the Philistine that would get in.

A lot of religions expect a LOT of people in their actual scriptures - it always amazes me how quickly people are to forget things like that (and that it's usually those practicing >.< ). :S

Heh, yeah. It's kind of sad, really, which means it heartens me to see people that admit that they don't always meet the bar that's been set, but that they are trying to.
