During the invasion period, www.raptureready.com, the website for those anticipating ascension into heaven before the final battles, excitement
mushroomed. Responders thought the war in Lebanon signaled the start of the Tribulations. "This is so exciting," one commenter offered. "I have
been having rapture dreams and I can't believe that this is really it! We are on the edge of eternity!" said another.

This quote would be amusing, if it was not so sick and made during a horrifying war which led to the deaths of thousands of civillians and maiming of
many more.
Extremist Muslims get a bad press, but the extremist Christians don't so much.
Why?
Because it is easier to laugh about them as people have done when Bush stated his foreign policy was based on conversations with God rather than face
the reality and consequences of what this implied and what Christian Extremist groups stand for.
Because to do that would be to accept such groups hold great influence withing the corridors of power of a world superpower.
It would be to accept that the NeoCons and their figurehead President, in their quest for world hegemony domination, have a partner in power in the
form of a group that can not wait for the end times, and believe this is a holy war against Islam, a notion which apparently justifies therefore the
actions of Islamist extremists everywhere, who say they are fighting against an enemy that has waged war on Islam.
And to accept this fact, would be to accept a great horror at the same time.
And so Bush's Christian beliefs of the apparent extreme side are laughed off instead.
It's called Gallows humour. Making light of dark times.
