Former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has an urgent message for Christians everywhere: convert as many people as possible, especially Jews, because Jesus is "coming soon."
One of my favorite wackadooles - Michele B says the Christ is coming and that's why everyone is slaughtering everyone else in the land of sand and oil.
She goes on a mid-east tour and comes back spouting prophecies.

From 1 Timothy, King James Version:
"9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety."

Religion seems ridiculous to me, but most religious people (e.g. my spouse) are wonderful, normal, decent folks. And then there are the Michelle Bachmans of world religions...
