Nancy Grace is one of the most disgusting characters in our media today. And Greta van Sustern is no better…

Nancy Grace is horrifying; her show is like her own televised kangaroo court.

Just out of curiosity, what does the New Testament actually say about signs indicating the end times are coming? Is there anything that can even be remotely interpreted as same-sex marriage signaling its arrival? (If so, point me to the relevant section.)

End-Times believers derive ideas from Daniel, John, a few things by Paul—and Revelations most of all—but any verse in the Bible is open to interpreted as eschatological prophecy. Depending on the “prohpech scholar” [Note: does not contain actual scholarship] doing the interpreting, verses and passages are spliced and diced according to esoteric formulae, resulting in timetables of the End Times. Different prophecy scholars (spit!) will have slightly different interpretations of the details.

I want to say “no, there’s nothing explicitly about gay marriage” but the very method by which meaning is divined defies that kind of assertion: when you can abstract any given line and run it through a filter of (purported) inspiration, you can transform any line to fit.
