ONN: Evangelicals want Bibical Armageddon taught with Global Warming

Christian Groups: Biblical Armageddon Must Be Taught Alongside Global Warming

Despite opposition from some of their colleagues, 86 evangelical Christian leaders have decided to back a major initiative to fight global warming, saying "millions of people could die in this century because of climate change, most of them our poorest global neighbors."

Among signers of the statement, which will be released in Washington on Wednesday, are the presidents of 39 evangelical colleges and pastors of megachurches, including Rick Warran, author of the best seller "The Porpoise-Driven Life."

The group's statement said. "Many of us have required considerable convincing before becoming persuaded that climate change is a real problem and that it ought to matter to  Christians. But now we have seen and heard enough because we know Armageddon is even a bigger threat. Christians need to prepare for the rapture."

The statement calls for federal legislation that would require Armageddon to be taught alongside global warming in high school classrooms around the nation. This appeals to  evangelicals, who tend to be pro-business.
