<<frogs falling out of the sky (Julie, this is scripture, correct?)>>
This is textually correct, however there is a wide variety of
interpretations out there depending on your exegetic/hermeneutic/literary and
cultural and
historical criticism approach. Some more sensible people understand that the
Bible is a group of hugely redacted texts deriving from centuries of oral
tradition varying in genre from myth to history to poetry, etc. The
fundamentalists alone insist on interpreting everything in ridiculously
literal form --
7 days equals 7 24-hour periods of time, myth = fiction and the Bible is not
fictitious, etc. So depending on the Christian or Jew or scholar you talk
to the frogs can be symbolic, the frog tale can be moralistic, the frog tale
can be mythical but telling a Truth though not factual, etc.
<< Also for Julie, isn't the Apocalypse
preceded by the Antichrist? >>
Yes.
<< Is the Antichrist here yet?>>
I'm not answering that in light of the Patriot Act. Who knows who's reading
these syllables.
<< Bill Clinton,
maybe? >>
Nah. He was immoral but benign and in some ways benificent.
<<It can't be OBL because the Antichrist is an imposter, am I wrong? >>
You got it. In spades.

You'll get no argument from me. They have us beat, plus, as you say, this
stuff is widespread throughout the Arab world, where we can still shudder
at it. I wouldn't be too surprised, though, if regular evangelicals (half
the country) didn't think this stuff is too weird. After all, evangelicals
do preach women as inferior, the world only as 6,000 years old and so on
Regular evangelicals believe in corporal punishment of children (wives
too?), frogs falling out of the sky (Julie, this is scripture, correct?),
and a general us/them mentality. Plus they like to be on the giving end of
thought control, like the FLDS. Also for Julie, isn't the Apocalypse
preceded by the Antichrist? Is the Antichrist here yet? Bill Clinton,
maybe? It can't be OBL because the Antichrist is an imposter, am I wrong?
For Marlene, what does it say about the U.S. that the moderates iin this
country have to form a coalition?
