Preparing For Armageddon

Tonight's "60 Minutes" featured a report on how American Christian fundamentalists are supporting Israel because they want to prepare for the Second Coming, and the only way to do so is to gave all of the land between the West Bank and the Mediterranean Sea to the Jews and make the Palestinians go somewhere else.
Evangelical Christians also believe that two out of every three Jews will perish in the battle of Armageddon and the survivors will convert to Christianity before Jesus's thousand-year reign. As for the Muslims? The Reverend Jerry Falwell believes that most Muslims want to live in peace, but he insists that their whole faith is based on waging war against non-Muslims, because the prophet Mohammed was a warrior and a terrorist at heart.
Evangelicals are also pleased that George W. Bush is tacitly approving of their policy to deal with the Palestinian "problem" once and for all; in other words, they're happy that the United States is the only major country that bases its foreign policy on the Book of Revelations.
Now where did I put the number of that construction company - the one that builds biological fallout shelters?!?
