[Zechariah11]

The point is that it gives me the creeps every time some yahoo interprets Event X as being foreshadowed by the Bible. I'm not knocking Biblical prophesy...just the propensity of some to be reading the religious tea leaves without a sense of perspective. There are loons across the political spectrum who see what isn't there.

I don't think FreeRepublic is the proper venue to discuss anything about Scripture at all - eschatology, soteriology, or what have you. But, being one who loves to study it, I get a bit defensive at times.

Why not? They do have a religion forum here. Makes the place more interesting, actually.
