ARMAGEDDON THEOLOGY

"We have witnessed in the notorious Jonestown disaster the tragedy that can occur from the blind following of a false myth. Yet that could be quite infinitesimal in comparison with a nuclear war which people's commitment to an Armageddon theology had led us into. It is not too much to say that Armageddon theology is a more serious threat to our human future than Soviet foreign policy."

Professor Lloyd Geering - 1978

WAR? - YAWN - WAKE ME UP WHEN IT'S OVER...

Mankind has survived on this planet for a very long time. The reason we're still here is because of our survival insinct. If a sabre toothed tiger appeared at the mouth of his cave, pre-historic man would defend his family with a rock or a spear. Over the millennia, the means of defence may have changed but the survival instinct remained resolute.

In 1945 there was a shift. We surrendered our survival instinct. We gave up. And now, if you speak to the average family man and ask him what he intends to do to prevent nuclear war and the horrible death of his children, he will shrug his shoulders and say, "I dunno."

And if that family man bumps into someone who is desperately trying to alert him to the imminent danger he's in, he'll turn to his zombie mates and say, "That bloke's a bit of a fanatic ain't he, probably mad."

Let me ask you something, which is the crazy parent - he who stands by doing nothing while his family are burned to death, or he who attempts to protect them? Please don't confuse me with a religious zealot who knocks on your door with a big smile on his face to tell you that the end times are nigh. I'm here to tell you the same thing, but you will notice no smile on my face. I do not subscribe to the theory that World War Three will be an uplifting experience.

Here's what I'm saying: Due to the different religious beliefs of the various tribes which inhabit this planet, soon there will be a nuclear and biological war. It will happen within the lifetime of many people reading this text. It might be triggered by the followers of Mohammed who despise the followers of Rama and Krishna, or it might be triggered by the followers of Jehovah who despise the followers of Mohammed, or it might be triggerd by the followers of Jesus who despise the godless ones from the east. Whoever starts it, the result will be the same.

Nuclear disarmament is wishful thinking so long as the righteous ones hate the other righteous ones or the godless ones. The only hope for this planet is for people to wake up and realise that the only difference between a Jew, a Muslim, a Christian, a Hindu or a Chinaman - is the shit we carry in our heads!

The only way to defend the world is to attack the mind! People accuse me of being mad for thinking I can make a difference. But here's where I'm coming from. Do you recall the concept of Multi Level Marketing - Amway and all that? They used to say, "Introduce three people, teach them to duplicate what you've just done, and before long you'll have hundreds, even thousands in your downline."

That's all I'm trying to do. I know that I cannot personally influence thousands, let-alone millions. But I should be able to influence two or three people, who should be able to influence two or three people...

If there's one chance in a million that I can rekindle mankind's survival instinct, it's worth a go.

WAKE-UP CALL

At 8.16am on August 6th 1945 the USA dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Albert Einstein observed that the splitting of the atom changed everything because mankind now had the ability to destroy planet Earth.

For thousands of years, superstitious cretins have been prophesising the end of the world, but much to their chagrin we survived. A more cunning prophet was John the magic mushroom gobbler who wrote Revelation, the last book to be stitched into the bible. Although Mad John believed that the end times were nigh, his prophesy was left open-ended, thus "God's" wrath could be unleashed at any moment between then and forever.

Fundamentalist christians, mumblebrains who believe in the literal interpretation of the bible, have long insisted that the holocaust will occur during their lifetime. Generations of fundamentalists have died disappointed. This present generation, however, doesn't need god to bring about the "rapture", (their sick name for the destruction of our planet.) Mankind now has the the cabability to trigger a nuclear holocaust and god can take the credit.

This wouldn't matter if we were talking about a few hundred crazies who tango with rattle-snakes or who detect images of the virgin Mary in mouldy pizza trays. The problem is that these fundamentalist zealots have achieved high rank within the US military. Imagine if you can, two Baptist boys down a missile silo, each imbued with the grace of god, turning the fail-safe keys together, then pressing the annointed buttons to launch the first holy missile. Praise the Lord!

"Men who believe absurdities will commit atrocities."

Voltaire

Of course it couldn't happen unless the president of the USA had signalled a red alert, and no president in his right mind would do that without good cause, would he? Of course not, but we're not talking about "right mind". The madness known as christian fundamentalism affected the brain of one Ronald Reagan, president of the USA between 1981 and 1989. In several speeches he stated that a nuclear holocaust was inevitable and hinted that it would be desirable. Desirable because Jesus would return to Earth and save the righteous just seconds before the balloon went up and we "sinners" were reduced to charcoal.

To the rational mind, any thought of a dead bloke returning to Earth to harvest the self-proclaimed "righteous" and transport them to another planet or system is absurd. But we're not talking here about rational minds. We're talking about weak brained individuals who have prostituted their reasoning faculty and surrendered it to the concept of everlasting life. They've struck a deal with their church, "Convince us that we won't die and we'll believe anything, no matter how absurd and preposterous it might be."

Millions of American fundamentalists, plus a few thousand Australians, are praying for and working towards the "apocalypse". Every waking moment is devoted to triggering an event which will result in global conflict. Quite apart from Ronald Reagan, hundreds of these true believers occupy positions of power in the White House, in the Senate, in the CIA, and as already mentioned, in the military. There are nuclear capable submarines patrolling the seas whose captain and crew are obsessed with the idea of Armageddon.

There a fresh faced, born again Baptist boys sitting side by side down missile silos, each with access to a key which will launch the missile designed, so they think, to destroy the wicked and save the righteous. These people and thousands like them are religious termites, they infiltrate anywhere and everywhere where they can exert an influence. They work independently of each other yet they share one thing in common. Each and every one of them yearns to see Jesus return to Earth in his or her lifetime.

To achieve that aim they foment uprisings, veto peace plans, take any action necessary to advance their cause – global annihilation. "Whoops we've accidentlybombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade - sorry 'bout that." Next, let's build a Star Wars defence system to rekindle the nuclear arms race. And if that doesn't really piss the Chinese off, we'll turn Taiwan into an oriental Cuba with missiles aimed at China! That should do the trick.

Relentlessly these demented zombies are goaded and spurred on by armies of evangelical, born again christ loving, god fearing, rabble-rousing preacher men. Whenever there's an earthquake anywhere in the world, these embeciles quite literally go into raptures, believing that earthquakes are a sign from god and that the end times are near, conveniently overlooking the fact that there have been tremors and earthquakes somewhere on this planet every few weeks since the Earth's crust was formed.

"Fundamentalists believe that the present is a glorious time in which to live because Christ will return shortly to destroy everything and kill almost everyone. What interests fundamentalists to the exclusion of everything else is not the paradisal happiness of the saints, but rather the horrors other people are going to have to suffer for their skepticism."

David Hopewell Ph.D.
'Christian Fundamentalism: A Journey into The Heart of Darkness.'

These people and their beliefs are madness masquerading as righteousness. And we, the so-called 'sensible ones', have allowed their deadly doctrine to proliferate and flourish . We have ignored Einstein. The 'Bomb' changed everything but we didn't notice.

This message is aimed at young people who have everything to live for. By sheer luck we have survived the past fifty-five years. There have been some close calls, and there will be others. Try running red lights in your car and see how many times you get away with it. Sooner or later you will collide. And so will nuclear capable nations. This is YOUR future we're talking about. Are you going to stand by doing nothing while your world goes up in flames?

The alternative is to oppose the madness, and we do that by alerting prospective victims to the fundamentalist cause and by doing everything within our power to undermine its efforts.

Join me in doing just that.
