Praying for Armageddon (2024)

“Jesus Camp” should have the subtitle “The American Taliban”. It really illuminates the bigoted eschatology of this movement and their induction techniques.

I’ve spent some time with the eschatologists, and it’s certainly real. A large voting block does not plan for a better future, just ascendance over the corpses of everyone else’s ‘utter destruction’.

It’s really scary to have half the row crew happily headed for a waterfall, because they believe they can float.

Here’s an old joke:

“I want to die peacefully . . . Like my grandpa who died in his sleep . . . “

“I definitely don’t want to die screaming, like the passengers in the back of his car . . .”
