    The The

    Armageddon Days Are Here (Again)

    Are you ready for Jesus?
    Uh huh
    Buddha?
    Yeah
    Muhammad?
    Ok
    Well, I like this
    Let's Go

    If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
    He'd be gunned down cold by the CIA
    Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
    Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
    But God didn't build himself that throne
    God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
    God doesn't belong to the yankee dollar
    God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah
    God doesn't even go to church
    And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
    God will remind us what we already know
    That the human race is about to reap what it's sown

    They're 5 miles high as the crow flies
    Leaving vapour trails against a blood red sky
    Moving in from the East towards the West
    With Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes

    But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
    Honey you've got another thing coming
    If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
    He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave

    Islam is rising
    The Christians mobilising
    The world is on its elbows and knees
    It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds

    It's war, she cried
    It's war, she cried
    This is war
    Drop your possessions all you simple folk
    You'll fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
    You'll thank the good Lord for raising the Union Jack
    You'll watch the ships sail out of harbour
    And the bodies come floating back
    Watch the ships sail out of harbour
    And the bodies come floating back

    But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
    Honey you've got another thing coming
    If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
    He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave

    Islam is rising
    The Christians mobilising
    The world is on its elbows and knees
    It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds

    "Get the gun, get the gun, get the gun"
    "Stay away from the gun, stay away from the gun"

    If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
    He'd be gunned down cold by the CIA
    Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
    Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
    But God didn't build himself that throne
    God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
    God doesn't belong to the yankee dollar
    God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah
    God doesn't even go to church
    And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
    God will remind us what we already know
    That the human race is about to reap what it's sown

    Islam is rising
    The Christians mobilising
    The world is on its elbows and knees
    It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds

    The world is on its elbows and knees
    It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
    The world is on its elbows and knees
    It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
    The world is on its elbows and knees
    It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds

    Armageddon days are here again
    Armageddon days are here again
    Armageddon days are here again
    Armageddon days are here

    Jesus is ALIVE today and is seated at the right hand of his FATHER. He will be coming back soon.

    #soon in the cyberx thread meant the upcoming offseason or following trade deadline, so expect to see* Jesus by Feb 19 2016 at the latest.

    *In a Rockets uniform, God willing.

    He's sitting next to himself? Is he going to have to pay for 2 airline seats or 1 on his way back?

    How does that work exactly, does he clone himself... so he can sit next to himself?

    Also if he is ALIVE today, then he is one lazy, indifferent CREATOR.

    As a really crappy movie said many a year ago..... "God? God? God is an absentee landlord"

    What is interesting to me about this poll is that the republicans have built their entire party around god and the bible and yet 75% of the people in this poll believe that Jesus would be a democrat.

    The reason for this I think is that while republicans talk about god and the bible and ungodliness (in washington, policies, etc) very rarely do they seem to do anything for poor people in general. Their message to poor people doesn't seem to be Jesus's message, in general.

    On a side note.... this is something that has bothered me for years. I have read the Old Testament and New Testament at a minimum a dozen times. I have read the "lost" or "banned" Gospels, and virtually every single losely related reference from that time period and do not see how anyone can argue that the heart of Jesus was compassion and empathy, especially for the poor and those that are in need of relief.

    That is indisputable in my opinion... that is what Jesus preached and what he lived, it is consistent through the sources. Yet we argue of the meaning of particular terms and stories in the Bible on issues with very serious consequences such as how to treat homosexuals, or slavery or women.... yet the larger picture, the reality is completely thrown to the side as insignificant..... and it has hit me, in a sense the message of Jesus has thus far failed. What value is there in claiming to be a Christian if you ultimately disregard the whole purpose of the message.

    It is a tangent, sorry... just very upsetting.

    True, he'd likely look more Arabic than white.

    He'd also have subversive views against the establishment.

    Alas, Guantanamo Bay is not American soil.

    At least Jesus knows the difference between to, too and two, unlike you.

    Don't try to analyze it. This bbs is overwhelming democrat in the d&d. Every poll will always have results favoring the democrats no matter the topic.

    If you picked one side or the other in this ridiculous poll, and actually believe it, you are either incredibly ignorant or not very bright. Either way, feel bad about yourself.
