Tim LaHaye- Fish in a Barrel

OK, I hate to pick on Tim LaHaye. He's living proof of the old axiom "If he's so dumb, how come he's so rich?" Yes, his series Left Behind has been an international phenomena.Yes, he's got more money than most of us right now... Yes, he got Kirk Cameron to come out of retirement. Yes, he has really wicked looking plastic surgery. Yes, I have spent hours of my life watching him on TV.

However, this stuff he purports as "biblically-based" is a bunch of, well, sensationalistic, isogetical, poop, and he's pumped lots of money out of people's fears. He's turned God and a beautiful book of poetry (Revelation) and made it an entertainment franchise. He seems awfully sure about what's going to happen (and has the color flowcharts to prove it!)

This probably is too easy-- like shooting fish in a barrel, but what the hey--

He wins "Religious Nutjob site of the Day." I must honor his nuttiness. It is epic.

Religious Nutjob Site of the Day-- February 5, 2009

Left Behind Dog Tags!

If you get raptured, how are you going to let people know that you were taken (and they were left behind?)

These folks have a great solution to this problem-- Were U Left Dog Tags.

The site reads:

If you have been directed here by a set of dog tags you found, one of two things is true.

Either the person to whom the dog tags belonged lost them or the person to whom the dog tags belonged has been raptured (caught away) by Christ, with His church. If there are many folks missing then the latter is most likely true and you, like the dog tags, have been left behind. This site is intended, in either case, to offer you hope and to give information on what you might expect next.

This is really creative Evangelism! Let's say you're hanging out with your buddy, you "turn around, he's gone" just like the song says, and you find these dogtags. You can come here and it will give you instructions on what to do next.

Kind of like medicalert bracelets for the saved.

New Feature

I am starting a new feature that will somehow fill the void that not having a TV has left me (especially late at night when I used to watch religious programming).

It is called "Religious Nutjob Site of the Day"

We begin with a dandy-- Rapture Ready.

A full-service, pre-tribulation website! You can leave left behind letters to your unsaved loved ones. (I wonder if I have any. I know they probably take a dim view of us Whiskeypalians).

It also has a top ten feature listing the ten most alarming modern events that are pointing to the rapture!

You can get entertaining wallpaper for your computer or look at their 10 most likely candidates for the antichrist. (Hey, President Obama looks really good in Renaissance versions of Middle Eastern clothing! I'd bet Jesus actually looked more like him than he does the white dudes with beards we see in Sunday School rooms!)

This site is fantastic. Read it and get ready.

(I just hope that I'm not driving my heathen 14 year old around when it comes or cooking eggs!! Oh Lawd!!!!)
