Anybody know what miniscule % of US population believes this nonsense?

There are roughly 46 million Evangelical/Baptist/Pentacostal in this country who believe this. To compare, there are roughly 54 Million Catholics. The Liberal Protestants are down to 34 Million and dropping.

Have you any idea how big the "Left Behind" book series is? It outsells the top ten NY Book list combined. These people are a major force, they are organized, and they vote early and often.

Watch out behind you, Frank. These people catch up to you, they will trample you to death. :>)

Lunatics

>>U.S. evangelicals back West Bank settlements

Anybody know what miniscule % of US population believes this nonsense?

I would have agreed with the tenor of that some months back, Frank. But Michael Lind argues precisely these folk are a political force. newamerica.net.

But I agree with the "lunatics" description.
