By Lauri Lebo

…ay 21 is not the actual end of the world, according to Camping’s WeCanKnow.com. Rather, that’s merely the day of the Tribulation and Christ’s return. The big day is Oct. 21, 2011. That’s the day “when He will destroy the world and all that is therein.” This is not the first time Camping has predicted Judgment Day: On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping’s believers gathered inside Alameda’s Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an…

…right-wing Catholicism. The flagship of the movement is the ChurchMilitant.com web site run by Michael Voris, which rails against “globalism, immigration, social-welfare programs and abortion,” while depicting an “existential war against radical Islam,” with a healthy dose of anti-Semitism. And in case that sounds ready-made for the Trump era, it is. As BuzzFeed reported shortly after the election, Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, addressed…

In fact, compare WBC’s Santa attack to a similar piece over at Landover Baptist, an openly stated religious parody site. If WBC’s goal is to turn America against gays and lesbians, Iraq veterans and now Santa, they have been woefully incompetent. However, they do tend to foster more tolerance, and even some acceptance. Ask even th…
