New World Order

I don't understand this garbage Christians are going on about, anybody care to enlighten me and say what's really what.

Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson

You will have to elaborate a little bit. It may be their theory about atheism and materialism being behind the scientific "worldview" that "leftists" seek to impose upon children by pressing evolution, abortion, secularism and gay marriage in the public schools,government and media . This has been the overt opinion of hard right christians for...well, for as long as these things have existed.

They've all been playing Assassins Creed for too damn long and they all still swear the Templars were behind fucking EVERYTHING.

New World Order is a conspiracy theory that many if not all fundies believe in. They think at the end of the world, there will be a world government and that the "mark of the beast" will be implantable RFID chips in your right hand or forehead that you will be forced to have. The world, they think, will basically be 1984 but with satan and the antichrist (who's usually a democrat, the pope, or a liberal preacher). You can see these views expressed the most in Kent Hovind's seminar on the "New World Order." It's hilarious!
