The 5 horsemen are the good guys. The US is the 4th Christian superpower to rule the earth for Jesus. It was founded by George Washington who rode a pale horse. Our weapons bring hell and death.

George Washington who rode a pale horse
Interesting argumetation. Sick, but interesting.
However, who said George Washington rode a pale horse? Is that historically documented or are you basing your conclusion on an artist's representation in a painting?
If the latter is the case, your argument just sank in the harbor. No further discussion needed.
Next crackpot please.
"Our weapons bring hell and death. "
Because that's what Jesus would have done, if his kingdom was of this world.
" What were the other three Christian superpowers ruling the earth for Jesus?"
I'm gonna guess
1. Roman Empire
2. Holy Roman Empire
3. Third Reich (it's in the name, after all)
Any other guesses?
@Hasher:
Five horsemen? Promise me the fifth really is called Kaos a.k.a Ronnie Soak!
Hehe, leave it to a fundie to confuse the Book of Revelation with a Discworld novel!
Off to the Apocralypse! (And always remember Rule One!)
"George Washington who rode a pale horse."
Ok, Martha wasn't the most comely woman, but that's being a little harsh."
"The 5 horsemen"
1- War: Kills people in battles.
2- Famine: Kills people via starvation.
3- Pestilence: Kills people via diseases.
4- Death: Just... kills people. Mainly via salmon mousse. [/"Monty Python's The Meaning of Life"]
5- Kevin: Doesn't actually kill people, he just gets on their tits.

...Equating a given nation with a harbinger of the apocalypse is not a compliment.
It may or may not be an accurate analogy, depending on the nation in question and what they're up to, but it is not a compliment. Ever.
Also where the hell are you getting a fifth rider from? Because I might actually read that fanfic.

What were the other three Christian superpowers ruling the earth for Jesus?
Probably:
- The Holy Roman Empire
- The British Empire
- The Westboro Baptist Church
The 5th will come later. It will most likely be "The Pan-America Empire of Mexico".
We'll start with the bit where there's four horsemen (except in the Discworld, where there was a fifth, but he left before they became popular).
I also don't see how you get a "fourth Christian superpower". Leaving aside that "superpower" is a 20th-century term and that the US is not a Christian nation (*grinds teeth*), I can't figure out how you got "fourth". Rome, I get. Britain, I figured, was #2, with the US being... number three.
So what we have here is a failure to calculate, if you'll forgive the turn of phrase.

I was thinking it was:
Roman Empire (after Constantine)
Holy Roman Empire (though that was Catholic, I thought)
British Empire
USA

Actually, I think it's Canada's turn, next. They're quiet, and it's the quiet ones you always have to watch out for...
"Our weapons bring hell and death."
Uh, yes, that what weapons are designed for, Captain Obvious...
And Hasher, SpukiKitty and Scorpius FTW ^^ (and Anon-e-moose, but that goes without saying)
@ Scorpius
Either that or the fifth horsemen is actually the God-Emporer of Mankind coming during the Terran Reunification Wars. And this is just a bit of really bad history the historians found.
I was thinking it is more like a Khornate invasion. As the saying goes...

Fifth horseman is actually the Word of God, who rides a white horse. He's the final horseman, and everything gets a lot better (for Christians, anyways) after he shows up.
Not saying this isn't a terrible conspiracy theory/best idea for a graphic novel ever, but still.
@Psyco Jelly
"Fifth horseman is actually the Word of God, who rides a white horse."
Now why am I reminded of the superb Clint Eastwood western film "Pale Rider"? And as Chuck Norris always checks his wardrobe for Clint Eastwood before going to bed, then...! X3
and your minds have clearly been affected by pestilence.
war(red)
death(pale)
famine(black)
pestilence(white/green)
those are the FOUR horsemen. death is the only one you managed to get.
the US ruling the earth? please. you are owned by china, piss your pants when you think of the USSR, HAD YOUR CAPITAL BURNED DOWN ONCE BY LARGELY UNTRAINED CANADIANS in the war of 1812(WHICH you started), and cant even beat an army of vietnamese village dwellers(WITH the help of weapons grade chemical agents of various functions). I actually CANNOT think of a single war the US has won without the assistance of at least one other country. resources mean nothing if they are ineffectually managed.
unless george washington was given the horse by god, and broke the seals, then i doubt georgey boy has anything to do with the apocalypse.
To be fair to the fundie, which I probably shouldn't, part of Revelations 6 is " And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."
so it's possible that there's some guy named Hell who rides on a horse and follows Death around for whatever reason.
Actually, I think it's Canada's turn, next. They're quiet, and it's the quiet ones you always have to watch out for...
and everyone says that they keep themselves to themselves
Yeah, lotta pale horses about.
And why on Earth would you think that story's metaphor?
It's not, it's literal hoodoo, hence the thousand of depictions of those horsemen.
Where the nails in Jesus' cross metaphor for insults? No, why not?
Was walking on water dangling his feet over the boat, curing the sick avoiding them?
Why not since we're not going to take it literal anymore?
What's the fucking point?
It's bad enough having this stupid religion but you make it worse with all this 'between the lines' Dogma, 100s of ya claiming the verses mean different things then insisting the Bible should be taken literally. It would help if you'd read it instead of those damn pamphlets and sermons.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
