Bad Christians II
Salon's Daou Report gave me the link to this lefty blog, "MyDD." MyDD points to a website called "Rapture Ready" which published something called the "Rapture Index" as a measure of prophetic activity. I refuse to link to this stuff because it's just asinine. Jesus plainly said Mark 13:32-33 - 32 "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 33 "Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time is.
It is shear foolishness to try and predict such things. Hal Lindsey proved that back in the '70's. (Hard to believe that book is still for sale, isn't it?) Whoever is publishing this web site needs a trip out behind to outhouse.
But the foolishness does not end there. MyDD uses this rapture sight nonsense, in a February 14 post, as evidence to support the assertions that Bill Moyers made in a op-ed piece a couple of weeks ago. But wait, Powerline fully deconstructed the Moyers piece on February 6. Powerline was so thorough that their local paper printed a retraction, as did the Washington Post, and Bill Moyers apologized to James Watt.
So, we have bad Christianity trumpeted by a lefty blogger in defense of a falicious op-ed piece. I think they call that a "trifecta."
