Pat Robertson Says Rudy Would Usher in Biblical 'End Days'

Is this funny...or totally crazy? Why is this in the "laughlines" section of the N.Y. Times?

Pat Robertson Says Giuliani Presidency Appears in Book of Revelation -- Rudy Would Usher in Biblical ‘End Days,’ Evangelist Says

One day after endorsing former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for president, televangelist Pat Robertson explained his decision, saying that a Giuliani presidency features prominently in the Book of Revelation.

In his endorsement announcement the day before, Rev. Robertson had made reference to Mr. Giuliani’s tenure as “America’s Mayor,” but did not indicate that the Republican frontrunner was a key player in the Bible’s most apocalyptic book.

In his statement today, however, the televangelist made it clear that “in order for the Second Coming to occur, the world needs to end, and Rudy Giuliani is just the man for that job.”

Rev. Robertson said that he was “confident” that within weeks of his inauguration, Mr. Giuliani would usher in the “end days” that are a staple of Bible prophecy.

In praising Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Robertson had critical words for the current resident of the White House, President George W. Bush: “President Bush got us on the road to Armageddon, but it’s taking too darn long -- Rudy Giuliani will put us in the express lane.”

While the Giuliani camp initially welcomed the endorsement of the influential evangelist, the former New York mayor seemed less enthusiastic today about being identified as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

When asked by a reporter in Iowa about Mr. Robertson’s comments today, Mr. Giuliani replied, “9/11.”

AND PEACE IN THIS WORLD ... You if you are in such a hurry to get to heaven could take yourself a few sleeping pills and you would soon enough wake up before The Prince of Peace, the Great Magistrate, the One who you are so lusting to see.

4. Hah! Almost got me with this one - too believable. But, a "joke."
I am not completely unsure, however, that Robertson doesn't actually believe this. Of course, who knows what that nutjob believes, anyway?

out of sight


Seriously, I live here in Bible Belt country and there are many, many people who think that it doesn't make
any difference what we do or say, that the End Times are coming soon. These folks don't involve themselves in
trying to change things.

It's good that Pat Robertson is making news about this and average people are hearing these nutjobs who never heard this before.

Most of the discussions about how the Evangelical Right WingNuts have stolen the Republican Party and and driving us to Armegeddon were done by intellectuals and those plugged into political discussions.

8. Agreed....I have always said that * has never uttered a
statement he didn't mean...

Many say his speeches and quotes are gaffs...

<snip?
"It would be easier if I were a dictator"

He meant this....he is not smart enough to twist the words like Rove was.

I hope they keep speaking out loud...Most American citizens have come out of their stupor...lets see what happens next.

14. These nut jobs WANT the end of days.
Edited on Fri Nov-09-07 09:31 PM by Drunken Irishman
Why? Because they can scare people into buying what they're trying to establish, which is complete control of the globe. What better way than by telling them the world is about to end? People fear that, always have, and they'll eat this shit up like pigs at a trough.

16. Heads up for those missing it: This is a JOKE.
Way too easy to believe that it might be real, but this is like Scrappleface or The Onion, folks.

I'll have what you're having on a Friday evening, if you believe this one.
