When countries mix religion and politics is it possible that their leaders try to make religious prophesy come true, either intentionally or unintentionally? Take Dubyah for instance, a true talk-to-God Bible thumper, he's undoubtedly read in his Christian bible all about Armegeddon. Sorry but in some way I can see him wanting this to come true. He's in a position to make it happen. Throw in other countries run by other religious leaders with their own religious agenda and you have a powder keg. The mere fact that when religious bible stories predicting cataclysmic events are in the hands of religious madmen(leaders), it becomes a driving force behind some decisions that lead to bringing prophesies to life. But is it a true prophesy?
Its scary. Its taking doomsday book writing and by sheer will, making it happen. Iran wants nukes, Israel probably won't let it happen but if it does I can see Dubyah riding in as one of the horsemen. It will get messy then but Christians can rejoice because the bible said it would happen. To me the only thing happening is insane individuals with a lot of power, deeply religious, spurred on by their own prophesies trying to make their bibles the ultimate word of God, turning fiction into non-fiction.
The rest of us will suffer for it.
