Sign of the Apocalypse
 
Have any of you guys seen the Keds commercial? It has a bunch of people in the Heaven's gate cult, or whatever, and they kept pointing to the nikes. And then at the end they had the KEDS logo, and underneath it said "worn by level headed christians."

Just thought I'd share.

I'm not drunk. This was three years ago. I wasn't drunk then either. But I still like talking to cute Delta Zetas. (and ASA's, but you're taken ;) )

Here I thought this was going to be about this:

A Holy War in the Holy Land – Holy Cow!
Take the Middle East – please! Three supposedly grown-up religions – they’ve been around for millennia, for God’s sake – fighting over whose plan for peace will dominate. If you were to survey the Holy War in the Holy Land and exclaim, “Holy cow!” ... you would be absolutely right. Because there are those who believe that breeding an actual “holy cow” is what will save the world.
According to Jewish tradition, in order for the Messiah to come, the Third Temple must be built. And what’s holding back building the Third Temple -- aside from those pesky Muslims having claimed the area for their temple -- is that in order to set foot on the site, Jews must first be ritually purified, and in order for this purification to take place, not just any calf -- but a red calf -- must be sacrificed. Now a pure red heifer is apparently as rare as a purple cow, and no fair using artificial coloring. After all, how can you kill a calf that’s already dyed?
Throughout history the Jews have tended to be fatalistic about the Messiah thing. Not so some fundamentalist Christians. They say, “Hey, if we can breed a red calf, we can make the Messiah come!” Never mind that it sounds like the young child vigorously wagging his dog’s tail saying, “I want my dog to be happy.” These folks are serious, and it has led to a “holy alliance” between a Catholic rancher in Nebraska, a Pentecostal minister from Mississippi, and an Orthodox rabbi in Israel to breed a literal sacred cow. No kidding. They’ve all become friends, and it is certainly heartening to see a Protestant, a Catholic and a Jew working together to bring about the end of the world.
