I wonder what proportion of those 44% voted Shrub. 80%? 90%? 100%Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Yes my point is the goverment, and most people would treat a christ like figure like a criminal and a whacko. And He will face the same fate as David Koresh (and Jesus Christ for that matter)
Unless you're a Dispensationalist, in which case the saved will be raptured into heave, at which point a seven year period of tribulations will begin, with Satan leading an army of darkness against the left-behind who realize the errors of their ways. Then Christ will return, and the forces of evil will be swept away, etc.
Either way, they expect Christ to se his God-powers to change the world. It doesn't matter what governments think since all governments are Earthly, and thus in league with the Devil (except for the current U.S. government, where the saintly George Bush is leading the righteous to struggle against Satan).Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

And I know a bunch of conservatives, and supposedly religious folks...“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I'd have to agree with Ming. I know a lot of people and I doubt any of them would believe any thing about the world ending in 50 years.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
