[re: 200 million man army in the Book of Revelation]
Seems only last week or so I listened to Hal Lindsey talking about the rise of China (and these days India too, it seems) and how their female infanticide practices will have them end up with a huge surplus of young men without brides who would be willing recruits for a 200 million man army.
For what it's worth, I sincerely hope and pray it's an army of demons and not flesh and blood men from China. Men without wives and without hope, looking only to slaughter and be slaughtered in turn. [Emphasis added]

Meanwhile here in the real world, we have a different opinion of China.
And I can assure you, the Chinese are not demons.
So, you'd rather fight an army of 200 million demons which we're assuming would have some magic powers, possibly difficult to kill, and are totally evil, as opposed to 200 million Chinese men who are human, easy to kill, and may actually have empathy for those they are fighting?
"....I sincerely hope and pray it's an army of demons and not flesh and blood men..."
No way! Demons are nasty opponents! Even the minor ones, like the babau, have Spell Resistance, Damage Reduction, and at least a half-dozen spell-like abilities. And all of them can teleport at will! A dozen vrocks could destroy a small army, particularly with their Dance of Ruin attack. And a single balor is essentially a one-creature army.
Nah, they won't join some demon army. As the Asians get richer and more educated Sum of Sam, they'll just come over here and marry your daughters and granddaughters.
As the Book of Revelation is fiction, then yes, sure, let's have an army of demons. A bit more fiction won't hurt.
The rise of China and India? From where? China has been a nation of billions for years and years. India has also been a huge country for as long as I have known geography (which is about 30 years for me, I did not happen to look in a newspaper yesterday and learned this, like you).
So, a man can only have hope if he has a wife? People in China will soon realize that a baby girl is rare, a commodity of sorts, and the status of females will increase. I think it is already happening.
Polygamy is also rising over there. People are able to think outside the box, find a passable solution to a huge problem.
Ok, if it´s so, why isn´t there, somehow, an international army of demons, regardless of the sex ratio and the percentage of unmarried men?. You can´t establish a cause and effect clause and then reject it.
Anyone who's ever played Warhammer 40K can tell you that an army of 200 million Chaos Daemons would be way more powerful than an army of 200 million Imperial Guard, unless you're suggesting that every Imperial Guardsman has their own tank or something. Or worse yet, maybe the Chinese are all Space Marines. 200 million Space Marines... yeah, anyone and anything would be screwed if it had to fight that.
Guardsmen and Daemons of what variety?
If it was a mixed force of Lesser and Greater Daemons with Shock Troops against 200 million standard flashlight equipped guardsmen, yeah, but what about 200 million Nurglings against heavily entrenched guardsmen with heavy weapons, and mechanised support?
China has conquered the USA without firing a single shot. Who was lending your country $2 billion a day, just to prop up your economy? And were also buying up your debts (whilst your God Emperor of Fucking Up, George Dumbya Bush was president). They already own you:

I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords. Enjoy your 'Number 2' status in the world, fundies. Better start learning Mandarin. And Atheism.
Where is your God now?
"So, you'd rather fight an army of 200 million demons which we're assuming would have some magic powers, possibly difficult to kill, and are totally evil, as opposed to 200 million Chinese men who are human, easy to kill, and may actually have empathy for those they are fighting?"
youre sick. get help. shit like this makes me feel better about when I pray to God for more practical heartfelt and UNSELFISH SANE THINGS as opposed to what SOME PEOPLE PRAY FOR *clears throat and looks at SumSam*....
it comforts me and helps me believe that God is listening when I pray for more loving good things than some of these asshats that pray for their sports teams, money, or the destruction of others lives and countries and the end of the world.
you sir, are an ass. go crawl under the rock you came from and let civilized people deal with the ways of the world.
@Leander
Someone link that to the Raptards.

"We've BEEN invaded by 200 million demonic MP3 players! Now, if those little fuckers are demonic...well, RUN! IT'S THE RAPTURE!"
My PURE Pocket DAB radio with it's record facility onto SD cards (also plays MP3s via the same) makes me go into raptures, with it's design, user-friendliness and sheer usefulness.

It was made in China.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
