Christian fundamentalism
Christian fundamentalism
The source [1] includes, "An expectation of the Second Coming, or physical return, of Jesus Christ to initiate his thousand-year rule of the Earth, which came to be known as the Millennium." as part of the 5 principles of Christian fundamentalism so I included it in the article, Fundamentalist Christianity, you took it out. Is the source OK?
The source with a tag.

Millennialism is a specific thing, and I get that a lot of people don't understand that, including most Christians. But what really they are talking about is "last judgment" or "second coming" or something. Even though some people on some sites use inaccurate terms, we should be precise. And it's never the "millennium" by the way. That just means the 1000 years.
By the way, part of the shift in terms is necessary for Fundies, cause the millennium, and a second one, have come and gone. Unless (and god help is 2033ish) they claim it's on the 2000 anniversary of DEATH. i can see it now... even bigger than Y2K. "Jesus is coming... 2000 years have passed since he rose. give your souls to god before it's too late". it might make 2012 look down right tame. ;-)
I'm still pissed about that Y2K thing. I spent two years living in a bomb shelter with my mid-80s diesel Mercedes-Benz and nothing happened.
I was working part time at a tech firm, to make post-graduate ends meet (teaching gigs don't pay much if you aren't full time). Man was it a huge worry. they must have spent a year and millions of bucks preparing for all the chaos. Even down to putting loud alarms in the elevators that were manual, in case the electronics fucked up.
