Since we know Satan can quote scripture quite well, I'm sure the good Doktor is aware that the Bible makes no mention of Rapture and straight-up warns against prophesizing Judgment Day. Thus, I'd say the African pastor plays for neither your team nor my own but instead The Fool's.
I enjoyed your literate sermon, though I'm not sure I'd call it "fiery." I've sat through some fiery sermons and believe me, this one is more suited for the tony Bethesda suburbs of Washington D.C. (in more ways than one) than the swampy rural environs of southeast Louisiana. I can't wish you the best, of course, but I can admit I find your content continually compelling and of interest.
Thank you. As ever I appreciate your comments. With “fiery” I probably overstated things. Prone to hyperbole! Haha. I'm really of the Byron and Shelley tradition, or that's my penchant at least. A far cry from SE Louisiana, which I know very slightly… have to say I'm always horrified at the sheer amount of churches all through the South, but this solely due to the fire and brimstone nature of it all.
I'm too used to the sedate Church of England which these days doesn't like to mention God too much. But I do talk with our vicars, all very civilized and philosophical. And hardly a week goes by without me visiting churches and enjoying the quietude of the graveyards, and appreciating the 1000-year-old architecture… and of course the colorful folklore.
