Just for kicks, I googled the word “megiddo” and came up with this site. Here’s a quote from the opening page:

… a small independent group of enthusiastic, dedicated Christians who depend on the Bible for everything they believe and practice. Their one aim is to understand, defend and promote the Bible as a guide to both this life and the next.

No secular - sacred division

For the Megiddo Church, faith is not part of life, it is life itself, and every area (home, school, business, work, recreation) is under divine scrutiny. Every day is a God-given opportunity to grow in character and to prepare for future life in Christ’s kingdom on earth.

I doubt that our rationality-challenged troll belongs to this particular organization, but I still found it (mildly) amusing.

I’m willing to bet that L4T accidentally lured Meg over here via the RaptureReady message boards. I kind of wish L4T would come along by, actually. Sometimes we need a good example of a Christian who is not a total prick.

Actually, most Christians, like most people of every other distinction, are OK.  It’s just that certain types of loudmouthism draw a disproportionate amount of attention.

I knew that name rang a bell somewhere. ‘Megiddo’ connotes ‘brave defenders against impossible odds’. 

It is a place and a fortress where several ancient battles took place, and the Megiddo Church describes itself as “a place of troops for soldiers to renew who are engaged in spiritual warfare”. 

They have a ‘zine that circulates 15,000, so it is indeed possible this twit feels himself connected to the offshoot ‘Christedelphian’ cult.

I’m willing to bet that L4T accidentally lured Meg over here via the RaptureReady message boards.

That thought occured to me, too.

If so, thanks bunches L4T.

Megiddo is a place in Israel. Thats where the word Armageddon comes from. Megiddo is the place where all the worlds armies will gather for one last final fight. It overlooks the Jezreel valley. Its huge. Napoleon said when he was atop Megiddo that “all the worlds armies could gather here.”

My mistake, all the worlds armies wont be there. Only the four major ones. King of the North, King of the South, King of the west, king of the east.

The king of the south and the king of the north will both be destroyed by God because they will try to invade Israel. Later it will be the king of the east versus the king of the west. The king of the north is Russia, king of the south is the Arab countries like Iran who try and help Russia. The king of the east is china and the king of the west is the EU and the United States primarily. The antichrist will be the head of the king of the west.

Oh, please, Meg, tell us more.  Oh, wait, no, that’s not what I meant.  Let’s see… Oh, please, Meg, why don’t you go tell a tree because you crossed the line into boring the shit out of us the instant you admitted to being a troll.

Though I do believe nowiser caught on to how boring you are earlier than the rest of us. 

By the way, David Hasselhof is the antichrist.  Debate that all you want.

Wow, Megiddo, that is so very fascinating. I do wish you’d go on...go on...go...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Meg - You really are a strange little fucker, aren’t you?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...emphasis on “fucker”...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So this massive final battle metardo is talking about will only happen when the Iranians magically turn into Arabs!? Well good thing that is never going to happen…

My mistake, in the Bible says it will be mostly Persia to join Russia along with some other nations. Persia is modern day Iran. I

Meg, “Persia” is modern-day Rugistan, better known as East St. Louis.  When the angel Gabriel plays the “East St. Louis Toodle-Loo”, David Hasselhof will come in on a talking black car and institute a thousand years of really bad television.  This may already have happened and we are perhaps living in that era now.

Game over, you ran out of tokens.  Now eat your pizza, drink your coke, get a sugar headache and leave, and throw up in the car on the way home. 

DoF: Game over, you ran out of tokens.  Now eat your pizza, drink your coke, get a sugar headache and leave, and throw up in the car on the way home.

Meg, baby. I’d hazard a guess and think you just got told.

You’re a poet, DoF!  I kowtow in your general direction!

That battlecry movment scares the crap out of me. I mean recruting christian youth to fight a stupid cultural war. Christianity scares the living piss out of me. I see stupid people. They are going to rule the world if rational openminded wise people dont stand up and stop the stupidity. Right now I need to go and depressurize before explode into a fit of rage!!!!!!!!!!! 

A bigot is a conservative who is winning a debate with a liberal.

So a racist who isn’t winning the argument is not a bigot?

Don’t ban him Les, he is funny.

Megiddo is a place in Israel. Thats where the word Armageddon comes from.

I thought everyone who grew up in the 70s knew this.  All it proves is he watched the Omen, and read Revelations.

Hey Meggy- why are Christians allowed to eat pork?

Now, I know that most of the commentors on this site don’t depend on the bible for the weight of their arguments, but I thought it might be interesting to some that this Luce character apparently isn’t reading his.  His statement - “This is war. And Jesus invites us to get into the action, telling us that the violent—the ‘forceful’ ones—will lay hold of the kingdom.â€? - is not only textually innacurate, it is taken out of context as well.  The KJV is: “From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” If one simply reads the context it will be apparent that the ‘violent’ are the bad guys.

I count myself a Christian (actually, more like an annoying pimple on the ass of the body of Christ), but it pisses me off when some dipstick yanks a verse out of scripture and leads the lemmings over the edge.
