Apparently ~2500 years ago a Jewish prophet foresaw, in Isaiah 35:8, "the way of holiness" would be an American superhighway, called, fortuitously enough, I-35. A bunch of moonies have become convinced it's their destiny to camp out all up and down the American interstate and remind abortionists, homosexuals, and the other typical sinners that they're gonna burn eternally in hell.
How do they know this is the right thing to do? Well there's the typically opaque reference to "dreams and visions" which I suppose might be accurate if by "dreams" we mean some hard-up pastor's daydreams about getting on TV, and if by "visions" we mean the visions of all the greenbacks in the collection plates.
I suppose it also helps that I-35 and Isaiah 35 seem to go well together, unless of course one recalls that the book of Isaiah wasn't written in English, and there was nary an "I" to be found in its original text.
It's batshit crazies like these folks that make the heartland such a fucking laughingstock. When is this shit gonna end?
Anyway you can watch Pat Robertson's gleeful report here:
