according to a recent survey of voters that voted in the the 2004 election 22 percent of americans believe that the rapture will happen in their lifetimes. Another 22 percent believe it will probably happen in their lifetimes.

Given this idea, what incentive do these people have to form, maintain and participate in a society that can perpetuate itself?

Answer: none, of course. God is going to take the reightous believers from the earth and leave the rest of us sinners to live with the remains of this used and abused planet.

Please think about this the next time you consider casting a vote for someone who stands on any sort of platform maintaining God is on their side.

AuntyM;

The difference is that between now and "then", some of us are going to enjoy ourselves, and some are just going to sit around bhitching about what is probably happening...

what a waste of time to sit around waiting for the end of the world. Too many modern Christians put all of their faith in Revelations and Leviticus. Instead of waiting for the inevitable or bashing soldiers for serving with gays, I'm sure my time would be much better spent out pursuing fish.

Others of us are concerned about what kind of country our children and grandchildren are going to live in.

They remind me of sheep.
How to live,what to think.
SHEEP.
