I keep hearing Christians say that they can't wait for Jesus to come, etc. Of course, this is a huge part of their belief and I understand how, if you believe the Bible, you would be please to be going to heaven to hang out with Jesus, but my concern is that, as our educational system declines and our degree of religiosity rises, will this not be the impetus, at least potentially, for violence? I mean - and I know this is a slipery slope, but it's really just an example - what if we someho3w end up with a radical Christian General in the army or on the Joint Cheifs of Staff? Could he not, believing that the end would bring about the return of Jesus, launch nukes?
Okay... maybe that's a bit much. But didn't Charles Manson commit the most heinous crimes of the 20th century because of his interpretation of the Book of Revelations? How do we prevent the people who BELIEVE they are Christians from commiting heinous acts in order to bring about the apocalypse?
