Try in England, where radical Islam is calling on the beheading of anyone who speaks against Islam. Speak out against Islam, or claim you are a Christian, and watch heads roll...literally.

There is a reason it's called "The Right." I don't see anyone shoving any beliefs down anyone's throat here. We just object to people using the Lord's name in vain.

By the way, the Bible instructs us to share the Gospel (good news of Jesus Christ) with everyone (that includes you), and to take it to every nation on Earth. That has now been accomplished for the first time in history, which is a clear sign of the last days. Believe, don't believe, whatever. Just because you don't believe something doesn't make it untrue.

Again, though, that is the religious right--it's not Christian right-wing extremism, but religious right-wing extremism all the same.

Ah, yes...the fallacy of equivocation.

It's not using the Lord's name in vain. The concept of the Lord's name being taken in vain refers to the utterings of false prophets.

There have been "clear signs of the last days" since the destruction of the Temple.

Or, just because you believe something doesn't make it true. FWIW, you don't know what I believe and don't believe.

Oh, I have a pretty good idea you don't believe what I believe, so just leave it at that.

There were many prophecies that were not fulfilled in 70 A.D. They have only been recently fulfilled in our lifetime. Read the Book.

I have, maybe more than you. The prophecies are not able to be recognizably fulfillable.
