The Second Coming!

That the faithful wait in fervent hope, particularly in these troubled times of the 'Second Coming’, is understandable. What is incomprehensible, is that with the exception of God's chosen people - the Tribes of Israel - this faithful band have not realized that the age-old prophecy was fulfilled years ago. The prophecy was fulfilled the day George Bush Junior strode on to the international scene, arms akimbo, in true 'High Noon' cowboy fashion.

This 'born-again' modern St.George, rides through the globe, bronco fashion, brandishing in one hand that recently unearthed "Gospel according to St.George" and in the other a smokeless nuclear gun, spreading the gospel for the conversion of the oil intoxicated heathen Saracen, followed, fondly and in admiring and dutiful reverence, by that modern Mary Magdalene, Condy Rice, with that seductive smile.

The message of the Neo-Gospel is loud and clear. "Come All Ye Faithful! The Kingdom of Earth and Heaven is the rightful inheritance of the Mighty on this Earth. The Meek shall be consigned to the flames of a nuclear hell, with the fervent blessing: 'Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Since God won't have you, the Devil Must'. Amen."
