Signs of the Times

The problem with fundamentalist belief, whether Judeo/Christian or Muslim, is that it never applied to anything other than a change in the political and social order of the era. Essentially the apocalypse predicted in scriptures has already happened, but it took 2,000 years rather than the blink of an eye. What we have is a world where the spirit, rather than the letter, of religious conviction can rule. And the only relation to the Crucifixion is that it symbolized the enormous sacrifice that would be required to arrive at reformed religious belief, open society, rational science and the rule of law. And the sacrifice isn't over, because the ancient enemy still lives... and is apparently making some sort of last stand.

The signs of the times are written everywhere, on every surface that can hold a mark..., from clouds in the sky to complex highway systems, and even in places so hidden only the destitute ever see them. Only willful ignorance makes these signs difficult to see or interpret.
