Franklin Graham seems pretty okay with ISIS killing people in the Middle East. And his fans? Well his fans are downright ecstatic.

Franklin’s statement reverberated throughout Christian media. Thousands of ecstatic replies on Graham’s Facebook page reveal that many Christians are thrilled by the drama brought by ISIS. Below you see them celebrating the apocalypse they believe ISIS is bringing them. The consistency of a few popular themes is striking; I’ve left in just some of the endless repetition to show the odd uniformity in rhetoric. Hundreds simply say “Hallelujah!” and “Amen!”

The Friendly Atheist has posted an incredible number of responses to Graham from his Facebook page, that simply put at chilling to read.

Here are but a few:

Amen, we know the day would come and it’s here!!! 

Amen!!! Praise God…thru Christ we have the victory! Our brothers, the Coptic Christians that were beheaded for their faith in Jesus, are now in the arms of Jesus in Heaven! 

Amen, the second coming of Jesus is near. All Christians rejoice. 

Yes, Rev. Graham, they are trying to accelerate the Apocalypse… although we know how the story ends… Amen. 

Have been to Israel, have seen the valley in which this final battle will take place , true not vacant , beautiful fertile fields as far as the eyes can see… Awesome just awesome…. 

With each event that happens my mind thinks how close we are to the coming of the Lord… and hearing the trumpet sound, that its time to go home. 

ISIS just doesn’t know they they are laying out the red carpet for my Jesus. 

Amen and these are truly exciting times, to know that soon we shall behold his glory. 

You are so right. We are staring the end times in the face. Very exciting!

WTF is wrong with these people?

I know that Fundamentalist Christians like to differentiate themselves from Muslims fundamentalists,  but I have to say that I am having a harder and harder time telling any difference.

And before all of you Christian apologists start yelling at me that Christians are not beheading people, you might want to keep in mind that that is not always true, and that the urge to behead your enemies is greatly reduced when you can simply drop bombs on them from a distance.

Point of fact is that at their core both ISIS and Evangelical Christians are two sides of the same apocalyptic cult, which believes the death of thousands of innocent people will usher in the appearance of Isa/Jesus bringing peace and Islamic/Christian dominance to the world.

So WHY would true Christian believers condemn the actions of ISIS when they are working toward the same outcome?
