That's just one very narrow stripe of the Universe. There's more, much more,in every direction,forever.
And that's just what we can see. Yikes!

Rapture Ready: The Christians United for Israel Tour
Glad to see that the seperation of church and state is alive and well.I'd hate to see these churches lose their tax free status. Maybe not so much as Pastor Hagee.
John Hagee: State Dept Inviting 'Bloodbath' from God
5/6? That should decrease the demand for oil quite a bit.

The Wisdom of The Decider
Bush says if younger, he would work in Afghanistan Thu Mar 13, 2008 7:11pm EDT By Tabassum Zakaria WASHINGTON
(Reuters) -
U.S. President George W. Bush got an earful on Thursday about problems and progress in Afghanistan where a war has dragged on for more than six years but been largely eclipsed by Iraq. In a videoconference, Bush heard from U.S. military and civilian personnel about the challenges ranging from fighting local government and police corruption to persuading farmers to abandon a lucrative poppy drug trade for other crops. Bush heard tales of all-night tea drinking sessions to coax local residents into cooperating, and of tribesmen crossing mountains to attend government meetings seen as building blocks for the country's democracyin-the-making.
"I must say, I'm a little envious," Bush said. "If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed."
"It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks," Bush said.

OK, let's review. 9-11 changes everything. Terrorists can do horrible things armed with boxcutters. The bad guys are in Afghanistan, so we go after them there but before we get them we change our mind and go to Iraq because there are better targets there.
Meanwhile, the bad guys in Afghanistan get away. At first we go to Iraq because they have really terrible weapons and they might do bad things with them and Saddam is not a nice person. We find out they didn't have any weapons after all but figure it's a good thing because Saddam is not a nice person and the Iraqi's need to be free. Even if we have to kill a few hundred thousand of them,give or take a few hundred thousand or so. This pisses some Iraqi's off so they start killing our guy's . Then they start killing each other because they are now free and get to vote and do really cool democracy type things. Pretty soon a few million Iraqui's are homeless, they have no electricity, the infrastructure is pretty much destroyed but... they have purple ink on their fingers.
By now everyone in the world pretty much thinks we suck and we've spent a trillion dollars and counting. Oil is 105 dollars a barrel, the dollar is worth less than the euro, gold is over 900 dollars an ounce, a recession is almost a certainty, and the the housing market which was the only thing propping up the economy has come to a standstill. Fortunately the President gets advice from Mr Deity who as everyone knows is omnipotent,and omniscient and works in strange ways. The deficit is over 900 billion dollars for the past three years and the National Debt is approaching ten trillion dollars,but the vice president is confident that deficits don't matter because Reagan proved that.
Also, we've decided that it's OK to torture people, that Habeus Corpus and the Geneva Convention are passe and the President and anyone who works for him doesn't have to pay attention to laws they find inconvenient. In fact anything the President does is legal because he does it. This is called the Unitary executive theory and it has undoubtedly been approved by Mr. Deity.
Spreading democracy is hard. If everyone in the world would just do what we tell them to do, things would be a lot easier. Really,just how the hell do they think they're ever going to become free and democratic if they insist on doing whatever they want whenever they want.Talk about selfish.
Fortunately, it won't be long before all the Christians get raptured and Jesus comes back and kills everyone thats left. Google John Hagee for details.
