[A seemingly normal reaction to Obama's election from one of the rapurites]
I am shaking and crying. Good greif Oprah is on. As he listed through all the stuff America has accomplished in the last 100 years I started bawling. We have gone no where. I would rather have horse and buggy then what we have now. I used to think I was born in the wrong century. Now I know I was born in the right century because Lord willing I will see everything come to an end.

This is easy, just do it like the Amish.
Oh noes, not OPRAH!
And you know, you could so easily get the horse and buggy of your dreams, and not be plagued with internet or TV, by becoming Amish. They do let in converts.
@Eden: Yeah, I think this always confuses me, because religious groups have often done that sort of thing. Aside from the Amish, there's also the Brethren, the Shakers, etc. Most of *them* seem to live happy, fulfilling lives. Not my cup of tea, but it works for them.
The RR folks complain endlessly about the world and yet can't/won't give it up. I think they prefer the complaining. :)
Why do people cling to a religion that preaches terror?
Hell is terror used to coerce believers.
Suck it up. We've had to suffer 8 years of that dickhead Bush. It's YOUR turn now.

Strange, that. You're using a home computer that was originally developed in America (IBM), with an operating system that was developed in America (Microsoft).
Go and destroy that evil, nasty computer you're using now. As well as all your modern technological gadgets & gizmos, and household appliances. And that car too. Rip out the electrical wiring too - naughty electricity! And burn all your clothes (mixed-fibre blends are forbidden in Leviticus, after all!). In fact, why not just go live in a cave, wearing animal furs, shivering while you wait for that LOVELY 'Rapture' to happen!
Enjoy your wait.
The fact that you haven't completely stopped using the benefits of progress and science (like internet, car, medicine, personal hygiene) tells me you are just a whining bullshitter.
Maybe you should go live with the Amish.
But then again, I don't think the Amish want to hear your death worshiping anymore then the rest of us do, they aren't that crazy.

Bet you use tampons instead of old rags, don't you? Oh wait, you probably use pads but still better than washing and re-using those old rags. And I bet you sleep on a fabricated mattress instead of a straw-tick filled with vermin.
You weren't born in the right country , that's your problem. You should have been born in someplace like Somalia, then you wouldn't be worrying your little head over these complex soiopolitical issues--you'd be worried about staying alive .
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
