Christians Are Waiting & Hoping for Armageddon

I think most atheists can agree, and if you haven't thought about it, then here's your chance. Christians are waiting for the end of days. They will stop at nothing to make that bible prophesy, that has been grilled into their heads since they were little, come true.  Their god awaits them (fools). It's already started. It's becoming stronger. One of the reasons. I think, is because of atheists are finally coming out. It's just something you didn't really dare do a few years ago. And especially depending on what area of the world you lived. There is becoming ostracized by your family. This is still true today. People afraid to come out to family and friends in fear of becoming outcasts or disowned. But I am so happy that I have been able to come out as an atheists, and besides the occasional incomprehensible backlash I might receive now and then, It's not so hard. I thought that living in Iowa would just be torturous as far as being an atheist. Luckily enough, I have actually ran into quite a few people in my small town on 1700 who too are also atheists. I do admit that most of are young atheists, either teenagers or 20's. But I do have am an older cook that works for me and she 56 and atheist. So I think we might REALLY be starting to grow in numbers! HUZZAH! However, that whole Armageddon thing has always bothered me. These assholes are going out of their way to try and make it so. Unfortunately there are "celebrities" who have these views, and people are such sheep that if someone famous says it, well it must be so! I hope America can turn around and make religion just a pase' thing. A subject that is guffawed at in intellectual circles. The emphasis put on religion in America, a progressive country, is most of the times embarrassing. I know some of our progressive European friends are not laughing at us anymore but cheering for the people who are coming out and making a difference. Thanks to our Awesome atheist groups both well known and not (too many to mention). Thanks to those on twitter who spread words of logic and reason and who make me proud once again to be an Cuban/American. Let's keep up the progress. Let's let the people who are spreading myth and lies that we are not willing to taking it anymore. We demand reason and logic and evolution in schools without debating on creationism, what a waste of time and energy! Shout on non-believers! Our numbers are growing! I would love to see us become the secular country we were intended to be by our secular founding fathers! Peace&love. Thank you for listening. Peace for Iran~ Hope their voices are heard!
