religion : DOES THIS GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE THAT EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS ARE WELL-SUITED TO RUNNING THE U.S. AND OTHER WESTERN DEMOCRACIES? [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Tue Jun 06, 06 - Sun Mar 01, 09 Evangelical Christian, George W. Bush, and his Christian Fundamentalist-based Republican Party have assumed control of the U.S. government, and have begun instituting many policies that reflect their core beliefs. Many Evangelical Christians, however, would like to see democracy in the U.S. and Europe replaced by autocratic theocracies. Does the article below give you confidence that these Evangelicals are well-suited to taking control of Western Civilization? * * * * Dutch Evangelicals calls for pray-in against the Devil A Netherlands-based Evangelical organisation has called on Christians in 21 countries to hold a 24-hour prayer vigil against Satanic forces to mark so-called Devil's Day. Some fear the date 06 06 06, which falls on Tuesday, signifies 666, the Biblical number of the Devil, and will usher in calamities and even the end of the world. The Dutch-based organisation Ambassadors Ministries called its 24-hour prayer vigil from 6 pm Monday, saying it hoped some 2,000 Dutch Christians, mainly Protestants, would take part. "We believe that the plans the enemy has for this date (June 6, 2006) will be destroyed through violent worship and praise. We are inviting the entire world to be part of this huge unity project," it says on its website. "The forces of evil are using this day," Mathijs Piet of the organisation told AFP. "Through our action we want to stop them from achieving their goal." The figure 666 is named the "number of the beast" in the closing chapter of the Bible, the "Book of Revelations", otherwise known as "The Apocalypse of John". (AFP) Yes, Evangelicals "violent worship and praise" over an arbitrary date on the calendar is reassuring No, this sort of hysteria concerns me as to their competence and intentions Ballot #95388 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
