Republican Activist/Religious Nut John Hagee: Tuesday's full moon signals "end times"


(Hagee campaigning with McMavericky John McCain, 2008)

(With Glenn Beck, 2008)
Pastor John Hagee is warning members of his megachurch to prepare for the end of the world because a “blood moon” eclipse on Tuesday is signaling that the End Times could be beginning.

On Tuesday, most of the United States will be treated to the first of four complete lunar eclipses — which scientists call a tetrad — occurring in six month intervals. The eclipses are often referred to as “blood moons” because as sunlight shines on the moon through the Earth’s atmosphere, it gives the moon a red color.

Hagee, pastor of Texas’ Cornerstone Church, has written a book on the phenomenon titled Blood Moons: Something is About to Change. And he is airing a live television event on Tuesday to reveal “direct connections between four upcoming blood-moon eclipses and what they portend for Israel and all of humankind.”


“Is this the end of the age?” Hagee asked during a recent sermon, before quoting Acts 2:19-20: And I will show wonders in Heaven above and signs in the Earth beneath, the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.”

Wacko cultists, the lot of them.

This shit should be treated as a mental illness. Lock him up (for his and our own good) and medicate this fool.

If he's not a fool, than he's a con man and should be locked somewhere else.

It's mind boggling how many people in this city go to that 'church' to listen to Hagee's batshit crazy rantings. Then they give him their MONEY. Tons and tons of money.

Funneling money to Israel in support of their supposed christian apocalyptic vision of ushering in the rapture by going against current peace efforts ( two state solution and donating more money than AIPAC). Hagee is the chief nutbag behind all this. Looks like he's beating the drums of holy war ...IMHO...

[div class=excerpt style=background:#AFEEEE]COMMON ASTRONOMICAL EVENT, PREDICTED YEARS AGO BY WELL-ESTABLISHED AND TRANSPARENT MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS, IS SUDDENLY SEEN AS A RELIGIOUS SIGN BY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.

By Captain Obvious

Anytown, Anystate (AP) - Despite a multi-thousand year track record of 0.000% success, attention-craving egomaniacal religious leaders have declared that a common and harmless astronomical event predicted mathematically decades vaguely corresponds to events in a religous text of uncertain origin and translated through multiple languages into English.

It is expected that, when their predictions are, as, usual, completely wrong, these shameless people will retain their positions of power and respect, and their gullible followers will fail completely to even consider holding them accountable in any fashion whatsoever while dropping money they can't afford into the collection basket.

That great and awesome day of the Lord. I wonder if, during his traipses through the Bible, he's ever come across Amos 5:18-24?

So old Haggey will be much closer to his real god. I hope he eats a lot of seafood from the Gulf of Mexico to build up the toxins from BP, and I hope his many whores explode all over him. Bastard.

Elmer Gantry, eat yer heart out.

for years now. They've got books, cds, and dvds for sale and have made millions hawking them. They never have to pay the price for being wrong. That's a benefit of being a Republican.
