Techno-Millenarianism

Religion News explores the shadowy world of those using technology to try to bring about the end of the world. No, not Lex Luthor, just the deeply religious.

And just for a giggle here's Gershon Solomon, spokesman for Jerusalem's Temple Institute and the severely irony impaired.
When the temple is built, he said, "Islam is over."

"I'm grateful for all the wonderful Christian angels wanting to help us," Solomon added, acknowledging the political support from "Christians who are now Israel's best lobbyists in the United States."

However, when asked to comment on the fate of non-Christians upon the Second Coming of Jesus, he said, "That's a very embarrassing question. What can I tell you? That's a very terrible Christian idea.

"What kind of religion is it that expects another religion will be destroyed?"
