The author somehow believes that arrival at this conclusion is most easily achieved through mind expanding drugs by some segment of...

However, the belief that the United States is providentially chosen to lead the world into the kingdom of God rests on Christian prophetic traditions that ironically, in many interpretations, begin with the epic destruction of mankind at the battle of Armageddon. How is it that a mostly...
