Anyone know who Joel is?
I've been googling Joel's army, looked it up on Wikipedia. Bennet seems to be the leader, it's associated with Dominionism, yadda yadda. Why Joel? So far can't find anything.

5. Joel's Army
Edited on Sat Aug-30-08 10:51 PM by MadrasT
takes its name from their unique interpretation of the book of Joel in the Old Testament. I can't find the source right now. If I find it I'll add later.

Edit to add: Here it is: http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=964

9. Oh, if it's about the Bible you came to the right place, DU is awash with experts on it.
Of course, most simply dismiss it as a bunch of fairy tales that only fools believe, including thousands of DUers and millions of good Democrats.

13. I'm working on that ...
... on the Truthiness Encyclopedia.

If anyone is more knowledgeable and not prone to vomiting when reading biblical mythology, please feel free to add your own stuff, here.

Thank you.
