I mean really, what's with that?
War is the failure of society, so the ulitmate war would be the ultimate failure. And yet you continually hope and pray for this day to come? Why? Are the pictures coming from Iraq not enough to satisfy your bloodlust? Not enough dead babies and women in the streets for you yet?
You keep talking about "salvation" and "peace" but what you really want is blood! Lots of it!
You belong to a disgusting death cult. And the faster we toss the whole mess on the ash-heap of history, the better.

"Armageddon" is not the Death of every person. It's the end of the world, and it's going to end, nothing we can do to stop it. Christians don't hope for it, but we do welcome it as a part of our existence, because we know there is something more besides this physical existence.
Sorry you're too closed-minded to understand what we believe rather than lash out at your speculative and uninformed view on our beliefs.

If you really knew what you were talking about when it comes to faith then you would have a better understanding. The peace that comes from faith is not a peace form wars or the evils of this world but from with in ones spirit. Salvation is not the salvation of this present world but of ones spirit. There is evil that exists and that evil grows with each passing day.
Wars grow with each passing day and what it comes down to it man is putting his own desires over that of others. Mans ways and if you obect then you are the enemy. You blame a God you don't believe in and claim if he was real how could he allow all this to happen? Then you turn around and do just the things you claim are wrong.
Armageddon is not the end of the world and the death of man kind. That is a mistake that many make. It is the battle of good over evil and a new begining. Many don't realize that is only the first of beginings. But that you may never understand. Armagedden is a time that will bring great hope and end to these days of what we see now. I for one welcome it because it is not an usher of death but of a time of peace. That is not a death cult.
You would do good to learn about something before making a broad judgement.

It is not that Christians want blood or violence, the Bible in the book of Revelations talks about the End of Days. In the book of Revelations discusses an event called the,"Rapture." This happens just before war,famine,plagues. The Rapture is when the dead in Christ will be called to Heaven and then Christians that are still alive will be taken to Heaven. During this time after the Rapture a person will take credit for stopping the war and then there will be 7 years of good times. Then as what I described earlier will happen then this person," The Beast" will ask you to take the mark of the Beast which is;"666"
Without that number tattooed on your forehead or right hand you will not be able to buy food,clothes,gasoline,etc....... If you take this mark in the Bible states you will be Damned for an eternity.
The Bible states for those who refuse the mark,God will remember you.
Please read the book of Revelations,those times w/out Christ will be awful and lonely. Now do understand a little bit more. To be a Christian and to be with Christ in Heaven is going to be a great thing.In John 3:16 states; For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. He that believes in me shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Pretty cool.

Years ago, it was fashionable to have parties at hangings and beheadings, so its not a cult that instigates and glorifies the death of people, its governments that have no connection to the God/Father of Jesus. That we have religion is why we have some peace. While that for the moment the unreligous which must be you, are willing and able to criminalize the love of God and the love of mankind shows extreme stupidity on your part. We are free only as long as we can allow others the freedom to have their own opinions to whom they want to worship. Take that away and dispair is all we will have. Of course, your desire is foretold also in the 'book'. Welcome to 'catch 2oo6'.

Most Christians believe that by the time Armageddon comes, they will have been taken off of the Earth through rapture. I don't think that there are many Christians sitting around "hoping" and "praying" for Armageddon, but they aren't fearing it either. I certainly don't want to die, or watch others die....but I do look forward to heaven and all that it entails.

Why do others keep picking on us? Do they think we'll just keep on taking it. They're wrong.
We don't like war, we lose loved ones too. When we go to war, its for our safety, and the safety of our friends and neighbors. We don't want or get no 70 something virgins, talk about disgusting. If you don't like the way we protect ourselves, then you and yours leave us and ours alone. Oh by the way I'm an American you can like it or lump it.

If you people would wake up and smell the coffee, the reason we Christians are on here is, we are trying to save people from Armegeddon. If you don't want to be saved, that is up to you, but it is our Christian duty to try. Our Faith is based on love for our fellow man. Not all the hatred and denial that I have seen on this site. And before I hear from any on he wanna be atheists out there, let me remind you, I am only answering a question in the only way I know how. With truth and honesty, plus love for all humankind.

Because of my personal beliefs and the fact that I am going to Heaven when I die, I am ready for it to come. However, I have many family members and friends who are not saved. I am not ready for it to come for their sake, but when it does happen, many people are going to wish they had lived their lives differently. I guess all I can do is my best to get as many people saved as I can before that time comes.

You have absolutly no understanding of the subject
You are going to die you know... so is every one else alive today... and since none of us will be around, here on earth, for the final battle between Jesus and the forces of evil... do'nt worry about it...
But you should be worried about your personal fate. I do not have to be a prophet to know yours(as it stands right now)... and I have God's promise for mine... but I would recomend you make a good faith attemt to find your way to God... He is waiting for you... and will do so untill your last mortal breath. His promise is for you and for all who will come to Him in The Way He proscribes.
