Actually, Chiliastic means something else. Like, that smothered Hot Dog I had at the HHH Dome last week was Chiliastic. Jesus would have loved it too, but it wouldn't have lasted 1000 years for any deity... too good to last more than 10 minutes.

BTW I have a new name for my new Mexican-snacks-for-chuch company. "Chiliastic Nachos"
