I have read that there are many in the neocon far-right-wing religious movement (a small fraction of Americans) that believe the end-of-the world is coming, look forward to it, and want to help speed it up. And that this is why they want to keep things stirred up in the middle east.<<
We don't believe the earth will end, just the world. Our way to speed it up is to do more missionary work, and to increase personal righteousness in the earth so that faith can increase and miracles can be performed, and evil can be repented of before it has to be destroyed. We are talking here of two opposite approaches to speeding up the events of the latter days, one of war another of peace.

It isn't too far a stretch to think that some of them might also think that a Christian vs Muslim fight would be the beginning of the end.<<
That's about the time we will concede to the argument that Mormons aren't Christians.>>
Like I said, I thought you would answer the way you did - I didn't see you as part of this fringe group.<<
I should be flattered then instead of offended that you thought I might be part of the fringe group : )
