Actually, Ronald Reagan really was a fundamentalist Christian. He believed all kinds of crazy stuff. Apparently, he was once given a very nice house, as a gift (!) --- and wouldn't move into it until he'd successfully lobbied to have the street numbering changed, simply because the address happened to be "666."

There's more than just that. There's a scary kind of millenarian eschatology running around. E.g., the Left Behind series of books.

It's also a reason for the religious right's interesting alliance with the Israeli lobby -- a link that didn't use to exist (historically, there has actually been anti-Semetism, so this is an interesting flip). They believe, quite literally, that Jews will be singled out at the end time as special and spared (at which time they will accept Jesus as their savior.)

Problem is, they're NOT afraid of it. They are hoping and praying for it.

obviously. no one in the FDA has read the Left Behind Series-http://www.leftbehind.com/

For those of you who have never heard of it, the book (and later series) of books under the title Left Behind describes the effects upon the world after all the Christians are Raptured (when God kills off all the Christians and takes them to heaven, leaving everyone else to face Satan when he takes over). Its biggest focus is on a group of people that engage in robbery, fraud, deceit and murder, and that's just what the good guys on the side of God are doing! The bad guys are even worse.

I suspect that series might make a really interesting computer game! Especially if you got to either play one of the main characters as a good guy , as a bad guy, as Satan, or as God.

My Aunt found out I like Science Fiction.

So she got me the new Tim LaHaye book.

Great. Quasi-christian religious propaganda. Used book store will probably take it in exchange for something. Maybe I can eBay it and get some new guitar strings or the next Paarfi book.

The Christians are all shouting "Its the mark! The end is near!"

Fer those that dont know what I'm talking about look here

Those Who were left behind, It is a great series currently 11 books long that deals with the end of the world and the rise of the antichrist. It is a well written and gripping (at least so far). Well worth the read.

you will be left behind.

No way, he just gives his layer(s) sexual favors.

He's married to a wonderful woman, who just happens to be the mother of The Beast.

Now let's look into Bill's other supported funds...

Killing baby Indians (not American). I guess he's sick of those H1B visas? ;-)

A snapshot history of what their foundation is for, among others: "population control programs".

In nearly all their documents, the Bill and Milinda Gates foundation mentions their support for the "global community". Another writer uses those words a whole lot in his religious fiction series.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't think Bill is the antichrist. I think he's just a little imp. :-)
