I'd like reading this article Tom sent me of that Lawrence Wright wrote in the late 90s

for the New Yorker about the Pentecostal cattle breeder from Mississippi who was trying

to breed a red heifer that would like bring the antichrist.

Yeah, for those not versed in eschatology.

In the 90s, evangelicals were absolutely insane about what?

It's not dissimilar to what we're all doing today where we're trying to stake out our

part in this conflict.

You know what I mean?

My parents were talking last night, everybody just followed on top of each other to have

the perfect take on the past.

If you're take fall short, you do not see Valhalla.

You die at Ignoble Death.

Yeah, you won't see the second coming across when they finally breed and slaughter the

red calf.

But in the late 90s, probably even before that, that to be perfectly honest, people like

Hal Lindsay, who we've talked about some on this show, who was like a Doomsday, like

he always predicted the end of the world.

The Apocalypse.

Jack Van, yeah, the Apocalypse Titians, Jack Van MP, all these guys would were obsessed

with, yeah, like we're trying to stake out our position in this conflict.

They were trying to stake out, well, my position in bringing about the end of the world.

Yeah.
