    Are you afraid to repeat it? I have no way to find it.

    I told you I was an Evangelical. It's not my responsibility to repeat myself because you have comprehension issues. I am done arguing with you.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    The January Evangelical Leaders Survey showed that 65 percent identify with premillennial theology, 13 percent with amillennial and 4 percent with postmillennial. Seventeen percent responded “other.”

    The various millennial views stem from different interpretations of Revelation 20, which speaks of the binding of Satan and the reign of Christ and his followers on earth for 1,000 years (a “millennium”).

    Premillennialism, which received wide acceptance by many evangelicals through the publishing of the Scofield Reference Bible in 1909, teaches the belief that Jesus Christ will come to earth for the second time after a period of tribulation, followed by a literal 1,000 year period in which Christ and his followers reign on earth. Premillennialists disagree on whether believers will rise and join Jesus (an event called the “rapture”) before, during or after the tribulation period.

    Amillennialists believe that the non-literal millennial reign of Christ is happening now as Christ reigns at the right hand of the Father. Postmillennialists believe Christ’s second coming occurs after the 1,000-year period during which humanity gradually improves under the reign of Christ.

    No one has that "power" over me in any way, shape or form, especially those who claim they may (including you).
    Clearly social judgment is important to your ego. Not surprising. Peer pressure is a very conservative trait and the need to judge is both a conservative and a Christian trait.

    why do you think there is something that needs clearing up......all you need to do is realize you don't know what the fuck you are talking about and wander off in another direction.....

    Observation is not the same thing as judgment.

    Survey: Majority of Evangelical Leaders Believe in Rapture ...

    Harold Camping may have been wrong about the date but he isn't alone in his beliefs in the Rapture. A survey released Wednesday shows the majority of evangelical Christian leaders worldwide believe in the Rapture, the teaching that as the end of the world draws near, Christians will be instantly ...

    snip

    Evolution: Almost 9 in 10 leaders (88 percent) reject the notion that human beings evolved over time due to natural processes. About half (47 percent) believe humans and other living things existed in their present form since the beginning of time while 41 percent believe that a supreme being guided the evolutionary process. Only 3 percent believe natural processes such as natural selection were part of human evolution.

    snip

    Evangelical leaders from sub-Saharan Africa were the most likely to believe in the Rapture, with 82 percent subscribing to this End Times belief.

    You can pretend anything you want to pretend, but that does not change that observation is not the same thing as judgment.

    New Survey Shows Young People Are Staying Liberal and Conservatives Are Dying Off


    For obvious reasons, the broadly liberal demographic trends in American politics have received much less attention since the 2016 election. Yet the fact remains that America is politically sorted by generations in a way it never has before. The oldest voters are the most conservative, white, and Republican (the dying subspecies) , and the youngest voters the most liberal, racially diverse, and Democratic. There is absolutely no sign the dynamic is abating during the Trump years. If anything, it is accelerating.

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.
