Just about had chance to read that before it disappeared.
No, I just found that statement hilarious.
And no I don't want to derail a thread, which is why I'll say these two things and two things only on the Christianity subject.
Don't try and make out you're a better person because you a Christian.
You're not, if anything you're worse because you feel you have to say it.
And I was bought up as a Christian, went to a Christian school and was forced to go church ever Sunday.
I grew up basically.
I won't attack you, if you don't call me crazy for not preparing for something as likely as Jesus coming back from the dead.

Preppers deserve to be classed as potential terrorists
Preppers deserve to be classed as terrorists. Here is why:
1) A huge proportion of preppers are mentally challenged individuals, who think the world is going to end.
2) A huge proportion of preppers maintain an (obvious) survival mentality, which is dangerous when combined with the above.
3) A huge proportion of preppers own a stockpile of weapons of both minor and major variants.
4) A huge proportion of preppers have training in all sorts of things, ranging from weapons handling to survival.
5) A huge proportion of preppers own a lot of resources, allowing them to hold off for months on end.
Combined together, the preppers can be seen to be paranoid and/or mentally challenged individuals with combat/survival training. Furthermore, most of these preppers have a large stockpile of supplies, allowing them to operate (in whatever way they choose) months at a time.
This is why they deserve to be classed as terrorists.

I would try to help you understand why you're wrong, but one who cannot even discern that the arguments proffered are all based on fallacies; Hasty Generalization, Straw Man, Red Herring, Ad Hoc ergo Propter Hoc etc... wouldn't be able to wrap their tiny mind around the logic necessary to see that this whole thread is a sad attempt at TROLLING!
I generally refrain from engaging in a battle of wit with those who are unarmed, but this has to be the saddest OP I have ever read. In essence, your argument boils down to the premise that people who are smart enough and responsible enough to look after themselves, are terrorists.
I think the gene pool could use some more chlorine - ALOT more!!!
