Yea, I know what you mean, Joey. They seem to get excited when they talk about the "end-of-days" - it's rather disturbing. However, most of them are just a bunch of drones who would agree with almost anything their preacher said. (Read with a Hillbilly accent) "You sayin' Jesus is comin' to take us up, Preacher. Well, sounds good to me, and if my wife says it's good, then it's good because she's the religious one in the family
for us all, being so close to Jesus and everything."
These people are not the leaders of the thinking world; they are the followers of the dumbed-down religious world. If they ever had an original thought, it probably hurt their brains, so they refrain from any such future intellectual activity. I say this because once when I was talking to a Christian girl where I worked and was getting into a lot of heavy scholarship of religion and the Bible, she told me, "I don't think much about all that stuff. It just hurts my brain too much."
