The Kook Factor, by Justin Raimondo It is not an overstatement to describe the Rapturists as crazed. They live, after all, in a world peopled by hallucinations. They see everything as a portent, an ominous confirmation of their elaborate fantasy life: every time Ariel Sharon farts, they breathe it in with gusto, convinced that it represents the fulfillment of some prophecy regarding the "sacred" land of Israel. In their nightmare view of human existence, the immolation of the world in a bath of nuclear fire is an event to be anticipated with joy, not horror. These are the initiates of a death cult, just as surely as any suicide bomber.
If this is "Christianity," then I say: Hail, Satan!
