We all have a bad name with who? Secular nutjobs who have been spreading the apocalyptic gospels of Paul Ehrlich and Albert Gore for the last 40 years? Our name was already mud with them, long before anyone knew of Camping or his EOTW scam.
Christians have a bad name with a lot of people. If you haven't recognized that yet, you had better look around. There is a full court press on in the US to get rid of the Christian religion and in Europe Christianity is all but dead. A lot of it has to do with the left trashing Christians and brain washing children in school and every time some nut job predicts the end of the world they use that as a talking point to paint all Christians as nut cases.
Wake up and see the fight against Christians.
