It's not often that I feel the need to change tack, but I've just watched the most disturbing programme I've ever seen, after the wife recorded it for me on Sky+. Just got round to watching it. It was called the Doomsday Code and was aired on Ch4 a few weeks ago, and was presented by Tony "Baldrick" Robinson.
It was based on a certain very large group of religious fanatics, who have contacts in the highest of places. They believe in the book of revelation and more specifically, the Apocolypse, and are actually - if you can believe the evidence - working to bring it about, by taking the "prophicies" from the bible and attempting to bring them to reality in order to bring about the Apocolypse. They want it because they believe it will take them "to glory". They call themselves "End Timers". Apparently the recreation of Israel in 1948 is a requirement for the apocolypse and it was claimed that these people played a major part in the plan. They get almost limitless coverage on TV and are spreading fast.
And who are these people??
They are the American Evangelists, who apparently have George Dubbaya's advisors call their more senior people for advice on foreign and domestic policy. Sort of puts a whole new slant on the middle east / Israel situation. I actually started to feel that perhaps our Islamic "friends" have got a valid point (although that doesn't excuse suicide bombings etc).
I only watched half of the programme because it actually started to give me the creeps. I don't normally take too much notice of the media, but Baldrick did talk to some rather prominent members of the movement, not to mention certain radical Jews. And they appear to be serious.
Anyone else see it? And am I the only person who was ever so slightly concerned about these so called god fearing christians?
Just proves to me that religion is a bad idea.........
