| "Evangelist" says Republicans are preventing the Second Coming |
| 2006-10-13 |
| Wall Street Journal A high point in the annals of moonbattery. An obscure evangelist named K.A. Paul got some attention Tuesday after he secured an audience with House Speaker Dennis Hastert at the speaker's home in Illinois, where he hectored Mr. Hastert about the page scandal on Capitol Hill and urged him to resign. Far more interesting, however, was Mr. Paul's indictment of all the members of the Republican Party at a rally in Ohio two days earlier. Their alleged crime--delaying the Second Coming of Christ. I can imagine it now: "Mister Rove, a Mister Jesus for you on line two." According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Indian-born Mr. Paul, who is now based in Houston, said that the administration's foreign policy has made it impossible for Christian missionaries to work in Syria, Iran and Iraq. "God is mad at this country," he told onlookers. In the crowded category of domestic events and world developments that are now being blamed on Mr. Bush, preventing the Second Coming takes the cake. All the same, inquiring minds both religious and secular will now want to know: Exactly when would it have been if the GOP hadn't delayed it? |

| #15 I can't even get my reps to reply to me about the fair tax plan and this jerkoff is wasting Hastert's time w/this nonsense. More YJCMTSU. |

| #14 I'm given to understand that the 12th Imam is busy playing poker with Great Cthulhu so far deep in that well that they're really in R'Lyeh. The Big G is way to busy to deal with the likes of these two right now, but He does have an eye on Rev (cough, spit) Paul... Cthulhu Phtagn! |

| #11 It's Paul's financial shenanigans charges that raise a red flag. From the WikiPedia link: 1. a large part of his ministry's income is spent on jet fuel for his 747 aircraft rather than on charity 2. In 2005, the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability terminated the membership of Paul's organization for failing to meet financial accountability and governance standards. |

| #10 #8: "Take it easy on this gent." Not gonna happen, PH. This clown is an arrogant asshole with an ego that wouldn't fit through a garage door. I know a lot of Christians, and this wanker is about as non-Christian as you can get. I think that when he dies |

| #8 Guys, Take it easy on this gent. I have a missionary friend who works India at times and their Christians have not been taught any Biblical material to speak of . One Indian Christian pastor told my friend he had not sinned in 15 years for example. They're in dire need of some learning of Scripture,but God love them they are in Christ. |

| #7 "Evangelist" says Republicans are preventing the Second Coming Of course, this can only be Bush's fault. Mr. Paul, who is now based in Houston, said that the administration's foreign policy has made it impossible for Christian missionaries to work in Syria, Iran and Iraq. Ummmmm ... no. Proper blame lies with the tyrannical regimes, theocrats, intolerant Muslim populations and terrorist operatives who cannot countenance the least sort of competition for believers. |

| #6 The New Republic (I think) had a cover article on Rev. Paul not too long ago (well, coupla years). What came shining through was that this guy's ego is about the size of the Hindenburg. |

| #5 Oh, this gets much better: Global Peace Initiative An Indian Christian evangelist who boasts he persuaded warlord Charles Taylor to give up the Liberian presidency came to House Speaker Dennis Hastert's home Tuesday on a similar mission: to get the Republican leader to step down over the congressional page scandal. WikiPedia: K.A. Paul Kilari Anand Paul an Indian-born, who comes from the state of Andhra Pradesh is a Christian fundamentalist based in the U.S. city of Houston, Texas. He is the leader of "Global Peace Initiative" and "Gospel to the Unreached Millions". Paul had preached in 54 countries and was attracting large multidenominational audiences by the time he launched his first American crusade in 1999. Read on for more interesting info. |

| #4 An obscure evangelist named K.A. Paul. need I say more? It would be interesting to check and see what political party this suddenly visible, obscure evangalist belonged in years past. |

| #1 This clown doesn't understand Biblical Eschatology. Nothing man does, or does not do, has any effect whatsoever on the prophetic timetable. His 'god' is apparently not sovereign, and is always getting his schedule taken out of whack by the actions of puny man. Some 'god'. Small wonder that the simple message of Christ has been received with such hostility. Who would want to join asshats like this one? |
