Lindsey Graham: "There's A 9/11 Coming" But Xtianity Has Always Said The End Time Is Coming

Alan: One of conservative Christianity's core conundrums is its belief that "The End Time" -- often referred to as Armageddon or Apocalypse -- is "just around the corner" and, furthermore, that God has pre-ordained this culminating calamity is pre-ordained.

 Yet conservative Christians treat this imminent event - essential to their credo - as if self-inflamed hysteria over the actual prospect that "the end is near" were virtuous, indeed the very ground of righteousness. 

 I will not explore in detail how religious "righteousness" is an open invitation to "self-righteousness" although at bottom it is indisputable that "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." Blaise Pascal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Pascal

Finally, we confront the larger conundrum that conservative Christians perceive a moral obligation to inflame their fellow Christians' hateful eagerness to torture, slaughter and generally exacerbate deadly prejudice in futile attempts to forfend God's own "plan" for end-time conflagration.

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." 
1 John 4:18

Lindsey Graham: 'There's a 9/11 coming'

Washington (CNN)GOP presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham warned Sunday that "there is a 9/11 coming" if the United States does not play a leading role in a ground war against ISIS.
In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Graham said he hopes France will invoke a NATO provision that would draw its allies into a war against ISIS.
    "They should. The world should be at war with ISIL," the South Carolina senator said.
    "I'm trying to protect America from another 9/11, and without American boots on the ground in Syria and Iraq, we're gonna get hit here at home," Graham said. "And if you don't understand that, you're not ready to be commander-in-chief in my view."
    Graham warned that Friday's attacks in Paris will be repeated -- and on a larger scale -- within the United States unless ISIS is destroyed.
    "There is a 9/11 coming, and it is coming from Syria if we don't disrupt their operation inside of Syria," he said.

    He called for 10,000 American troops on the ground in Iraq as part of a regional military force.
    "If we don't do these things soon, what you've seen in Paris is coming to America," Graham said.
