#2961: John Haller

John Haller is a deranged fundie and self-declared prophet affiliated with Ohio’s Fellowship Bible Chapel. Haller thinks that the LGBT “agenda” is a sign of the End Times on par with “actual wars.” As he reads the Bible, before the End Times people will “lose the ability to reason and they think like morons. And I think that we are exactly at that time” in the case of people supporting LGBT rights. To back up his view, Haller points to what he thinks is history: “Both the days of Noah and the days of Lot existed in the historical context”, and the sort of “wickedness and violence” that “filled the earth” in those days are “exactly what we’re seeing” in the present day (people of his ilk tend to have an idiosyncratic understanding of words like ‘exactly’ and ‘literally’). And it “is happening all over the world”. So, the fact that LGBT rights have some degree of mainstream support indicates the Second Coming of Jesus is neigh. “I talk every week about the convergence of all these different lines of Bible prophecy, from Israel to morality to one-world government, one-world religion”, says Haller. We’re sure he does. Currently, he seems to be very concerned with the Israel situation and in particular the idea of a two-state solution, for as he points out, God is only “renting the land to the nation of Israel,” and they do not “have the right to ‘sublease’ it” because that might interfere with the return of Christ and the End of Days, or whatever.

 

Diagnosis: Person who has lost the ability to reason and who thinks like a moron. We guess we’ll see if that leads to anything.
