An actual brochure my crazyreligious parents got from their church people that I swiped to photograph for posterity.

N-now, um … are we ENTIRELY certain this isn’t actually some kind of advertisement for a death metal concert that got mixed up because I DON’T EVEN

Death metal posters and fundagelical fear-posters? Pretty much the same thing.

… [the study] examines US public attitudes regarding global climate change, addressing the puzzle of why support for governmental action on this front is tepid relative to what existing theories predict. Introducing the theoretical concept of relative sociotropic time horizons, the authors show that believers in Christian end-times theology are less likely to support policies designed to curb global warming than are other Americans… authors provide empirical evidence to suggest that citizens possessing shorter ‘shadows of the future’ often resist policies trading short-term costs for hypothetical long-term benefits. — “Study: Christian end-time beliefs block climate change control”

And here’s another bit o’ misguided prophecy: RFID is the Mark of the Beast. Sorta like UPC codes were the mark back in the ’70s. I’m sure *somebody* thought the Dewey Decimal System was the mark, too, but only if you got shelved in section 666.

It’s easy for non-fundagelicals to become confused when discussing the different End Times prophecy beliefs of the post-millennial dispensationalists and the pre-millennial dispensationalists. Of course, that’s not really a big problem, but when talking about the various End Times beliefs, it helps to know that there’s as much difference among  the various “Jesus is coming and you’re gonna get it!” tribes as there is between all such true believers and the rest of us, including the relatively-sane mainstream churches.
Now the problem has been solved by Josh Byers, a Christian who likes to make infographics. This quick-and-simple diagram explains the differences neatly. In fact, it’s so good that I might have to buy a poster-sized copy for use in presentations.

An example of “Left Behind” and fundagelical paranoia interfering with basic math. One can’t get from 665 to 667 without going through 666, after all.
