The other day, there was this man on The Max.\u00c2\u00a0 He was either “Fellowshipping” or “Praying with slash for” a sympatico mother and child of his same general religious bent.<\/p>\n
“And GOD… He has his ways.\u00c2\u00a0 It doesn’t matter what the condition of the shoes on your feet are, or the shirt on your back, or what your circumstances are.\u00c2\u00a0 He’ll guide you through and he has his purpose.
\n“AMEN.”<\/p>\n
It went on basically like that for another few rounds.\u00c2\u00a0 I wasn’t much paying attention.\u00c2\u00a0 While I mildly frown on such a scene, any demonstration of my displeasure is not worth the effort.\u00c2\u00a0 But things got weirder.<\/p>\n
“And God’s Plan… is the DESTRUCTION OF Portland at the end of the year!\u00c2\u00a0 Halleluia!”
\n“Wait.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t agree with that part.”<\/p>\n
The man across from me, who was visibly chaffing before, because irate.\u00c2\u00a0 “That’s It!\u00c2\u00a0 Where’s the Emergency?”<\/p>\n
“See.\u00c2\u00a0 He is the ANTI-CHRIST Force we must shield against!”<\/p>\n
I got off at the next stop.\u00c2\u00a0 So did Mister Apocalypse Head.\u00c2\u00a0 The Anti-Christ Spirit was talking with the conductor, pointing to Apocalypse Head.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know what happened after that.<\/p>\n
I do suffer this generalized fear that this brand of End Times Religious represents a larger segment of the population than is comfortably tolerable.\u00c2\u00a0 You’ve seen the preachers on TBN, read this or that, have met them on some level.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
