What a tragic end to such an illustrious career. As soon as the crack cocaine of eschatology takes a hold, it's a sad case of 'abandon all hope ye that enter'. Very few make it thru cold turkey - not unlike 3rd Temple addiction, come to think of it.
Still, that was a noble gesture on the part of the former POTUS. Personally, I'd like to prosecute the authors of that franchise for crimes against humanity, misrepresentation of Biblical teaching, and debasement of literary standards.
