Bill Moyers on Rapture Index and the U.S. election
How do we explain the possibility that a close election ... could turn on several million good and decent citizens who believe in the Rapture Index? That's what I said the Rapture Index. Google it and you will understand why the best-selling books in America today are the twelve volumes of the Left Behind series which have earned multi-millions of dollars for their co-authors who earlier this year completed a triumphant tour of the Bible Belt whose buckle holds in place George W. Bush's armour of the Lord. These true believers subscribe to a fantastical theology concocted in the l9th century by a couple of immigrant preachers who took disparate passages from the Bible and wove them into a narrative millions of people believe to be literally true.

Isn't it great when you find sycophantic tax-dollar-supported writers, who agree with your point of view.
What a country.

It was a great country. Then we started replacing science with religion, facts with faith, tolerance with intolerance, defense with preemption and secularism with theocracy. With my luck, the Rapture will come next Tuesday, one week too late to thin Bush's base.

I always had you pegged as a Love-It-Or-Leave-It kind of a guy. My only surprise is the length of time you needed to finally play that card.

Dude, instead of constantly trying to pidgeon-hole me into some kind of category where your world makes sense, you need to try to re-group.
You lost, it sucks, I know...I feel your pain. Lock up all the sharp stuff in the house, ok?
