It's research, honest

[adalger]

While doing some research for this prompt, I came across this article. In which the author claims there are 100 million people in the world. Never mind that there are three times that in the United States alone, and TEN TIMES that in China. Attention to detail is ... lacking.

I suppose that the population of the world is still the most accurate part of that.

Nice. *lol*

The author claims there are "roughly" 100 million people in the world. Which should give a sense of scale for the focus & accuracy for the rest of his statements.

I am amused by the statement:

It goes on to say that God Himself will send a "strong delusion" and will cause these people to believe the "lie" which will be that the antichrist is god. Therefore condemning them to destruction.

This is the "just and loving" god, who's going to use his mind-control powers to make people believe things that will condemn them to eternal torture?

Oh, I've long since come to the conclusion that Christians who claim a belief in free will believe in it only for themselves, not for anyone else in the world. Most of what they pray for involves erasing the free will of at least someone, if not everyone, else.

My first thought was: "Surely, this has to do with the Rapture. And surely the author means that 100 million people will go to Heaven during said Rapture." But, no. That would have made sense.

Sense, you expect. Um. I'm linking entirely the wrong things, then. Sorry. :(
