I've come to believe that God may be using America's massive debt as part of His end-time plan. The Bible tells us that during the tribulation, Europe will be the main actor on the world stage. An economic meltdown in the U.S. would explain our nation's absence from prophecy.
The rapture could be what triggers this collapse. America has the highest percentage of Christians than any other nation on earth. The loss of such a large portion of the population during the rapture would cause this nation to collapse into chaos.

The bible does not mention Europe, especially not in Revelations. It's a bleeding miracle it even bothers to mention the Romans in the New Testament at all, and that was only because they were occupying Judea at the time and the fact that most of the New Testament was written up to a century after the fact AND was written in what we now know to be Europe!
Would you like a clue why America was not mentioned in the bible? It's the same reason Australia wasn't - the authors pretending to write for an onmipotent being didn't have a clue they existed. Much like apes are not mentioned in the bible. Not a clue! Nice omnipotent God you've got there!
Or America's absence from the "prophecy" could be because the United States had not yet been founded and the North American continent completely unknown to the scam artists who were making this shit up in the first place.
Which is more likely...? If you can't figure that out, I will introduce you to my friend Occam. Maybe he will loan you his razor.
America does not have the "highest percentage of Christians" in the world, you twit. Both Spain and Italy have a much higher percentage, to name just 2. There are more, can you figure them out?
If you are going to talk out of your ass, at least check your facts, first.
America has the highest percentage of Christians than any other nation on earth
Ireland and Vatican City certainly have America beat percentage wise, probably a good chunk of the rest of Europe too, not to mention any number of Latin American countries...
Well, another alternative bizarro universe. One, America is not the most active Christian country ACCORDING TO STATISTICS and, besides, where in the Earth does the Bible mentions Europe?, where is the debt they talk about, as if it were a banana republic?. Culchiness and etnocentricism, so Southern stupidity!!!
Or maybe George W. Fucktard and friends are busy screwing you, and the rest of us, up the asses while you beg for more and cry out that Jesus will save you, when you could be doing something about it yourself.
Apathy in the name of religion is sickening beyond belief.
Just remember, next week, the URL to that link will change, so that it point the the new weekly rant... so it'll have to be changed here, too.
I thought that only a relatively small (though vocal) minority of Xians believed in the Rupture, Todd? From that minority, remove those too different from your own sect (which is the one true brand of Xianism, of course), then the True Christians who aren't pure/sinless enough... Economically, I think the impact of the disappearance of a few hundred or thousand fundies would be unnoticeable. OTOH the average national IQ of the USA would make a jump.

Or maybe the Republicans are using it as part of their plan to transfer your money to the rich, big contributors' pockets, and you don't know enough about economics to have figured that out yet. Over 90% of the increase in America's debt has been accumulated under Republican administrations in the last 45 years ... sound like a plan?

So would the IQ in heaven - that God of theirs doesn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed.
"I've come to believe that God may be using America's massive debt as part of His end-time plan."
Is there anything that doesn't look like a sign of the rapture to your lot?
"The Bible tells us that during the tribulation, Europe will be the main actor on the world stage."
If your bible says that, you are obviously not using the KJV. I'll see you in hell Todd.
"An economic meltdown in the U.S. would explain our nation's absence from prophecy."
Would you care to explain that statement?
"The loss of such a large portion of the population during the rapture would cause this nation to collapse into chaos."
Except that your lot is always insisting that "real" Christians are a tiny, persecuted minority.
I think the Vatican has a higher percentage of Christians than the US of A.
An economic meltdown in the US will cause an economic meltdown in Europe also.
Isn't it just 144 000 males who are to be raptured? As we are six billions in this world, that minuscule number will not even register.
"The North" doesn't cover Europe in Biblical prophecy either. They had names for those people and areas before your stupid Bible ever arose.
This by the way is reason #4372 for why America is not in the Bible. Oddly not one of them is the Obvious "because Revelation, the great predictor of the Bible, NEVER FORESAW THE AMERICAS. Because Revelation, IS VAGUE RIDICULOUS BULLSHIT!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
