LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY kiji_kat)

I'm new to the comm, so hopefully this post is something that will fit in with the overall theme. I just feel that this is another case of fearmongering on the part of the Religious Right.

Pat Robertson says recent natural disasters are a sign of the End Times.

(From the article)

Robertson isn't the only one raising the End Times issue, as author and WorldNetDaily columnist Hal Lindsey has weighed in.

"It seems clear that the prophetic times I have been expecting for decades have finally arrived. And even worse, it appears that the judgment of America has begun," Lindsey said on the Sept. 9 broadcast of the "International Intelligence Briefing" on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. "I warn continually that the last days lineup of world powers does not include anything resembling the United States of America. Instead, a revived Roman Empire in Europe is to rule the West, and then the world."
