Most people turn into hysterical fools if the power goes out. Do we really believe they can handle Armageddon?

Question

Let try and imagine this Biblical Armageddon, shall we?

For Americans at least, you will have to be prepared to drop everything you are doing, walk away from your life as you know it, and join one of two great factions of mankind, (one allied with the beast, the other with Jesus), and take up arms for the last climactic battle. (If you have small children, better leave them with grandma and grandpa.)

How you will know whether this battle to come is real or not is anyone's guess. I assume that a large mob would be walking across the country, gathering followers at each stop, and this would be enough to convince most people to join in. Let's just hope it's not a misplaced Hannah Montana fan club.

I'm not sure how all these followers are going to get to Jerusalem to join Christ. Maybe he will miracle them over, or send a few million flying carpets or something.

In any case, I'm sure people will be worked into enough of a frenzy at this point that they'll do just about anything they're told. Maybe they'll try and commandeer a cruise ship. The best part, in my opinion, will be watching all the overweight, out of shape, 3 push-ups away from a heart attack McDonaldites trying to fight for what will probably be the first time since grade school. My guess is Jesus will need about a million portable CPR units to keep his army going.

All in all, it should make an excellent pay-per-view event.

Answer 1

Let's hope the Evangelicals are right about the Rapture.  That will thin out the ranks of the hysterical fools.

Answer 2

Well, when Facebook and MySpace withdrawal comes in, no angry mob would want to mess with me.

Answer 3

Most people turn into hysterical fools if the power goes out!?

Can you, if possible, please explain what you are referring to?

Answer 4

When my power goes out, it's out for weeks. So, yeah, I panic

Answer 5

What I do not understand is why the omnipotent Jesus/God needs an army to defeat the non-omnipotent Satan.

Can't he just poof Satan into non-existence?   Why does he need billions to fight and die for him?

Answer 6

"Let's just hope it's not a misplaced Hannah Montana fan club."

I think you misunderstand. Hannah Montana IS the antichrist.

Answer 7

My idea of Armagedden is God, fukkkin, just ripping this place to pieces.
