Do the Evangelicals think Jesus is some kind of monster? Why would Jesus rescue people who are causing trouble in the world, then keep them safe for seven years while the earth got torn asunder by earthquakes and diseases and such, and then being back the same people who started all the trouble to rule on earth? I mean, yeah, God is forgiving and all, but, I don't think God would be that unfair. At Bush's order thousands of people will be imprisoned and questioned, and at that same time Jesus will make a brief appearance, he will say, "Well done thou good and faithful servants! Come on up!" and the trumpet is blown and the Evangelicals go up into the sky! Then the pissed off people of earth (like the Muslims) who were tortured and had bombs dropped on them go to war with the Christians and chop off all their heads? Wait? What Christians? I thought they were all taken up? Oh, I see, any Christian that was NOT an Evangelical! I see! So, these "Left Behind" Christians get all their heads chopped off! Meanwhile the Evangelicals are in heaven living in spiritual luxury! And Jesus is still telling them, "Well done, thou good and faithful servants! Now it's time for us to go back and finish the job you started!" No. Jesus is not a monster. Not my Savior. "Peace on earth and good will to all men," was announced at his birth, and the Evangelicals will never change that. I’m sorry, I just have these ideas and have to express them as best I can.

No.

Jesus is not a monster. Not my Savior. “Peace on earth and good will to all men,” was announced at his birth, and the Evangelicals will never change that.
