In fact, I've seen drive-by Christians post this kind of b.s. here and on other atheist blogs. They just move the dates up every decade or so and swap out "godless Communist" threats for "radical Islamic fundamentalist" threats.

One of the largest and most influential churches in the country, run by Rev. Hagey down in Texas, is typical--he teaches this same "dispensational truth" bullshit. This crap has gotten folded in over the years into the standard evangelical eschatology. Pentecostals believe it, Baptists believe it, and God knows who else.

His was actually a bigger version, and in color! It was gifted to him by my sister and her husband, who took their three young girls to the Creation Museum on vacation and loved it. The poster received rave reviews from my whole family, while my husband and I secretly made eyes at each other. You can probably guess that the holidays with my family are ***awkward***. Oh, and the icing on the cake is that my little brother is a HISTORY TEACHER at a public school. And he buys in to all this creationist bs. So sad.
