There's a lot of talk about the resurgence of all this endtime hysteria due to the threat of war and things heating up in the middle east. People start looking for a way out and I think it's one way they subconsciously deal with it. Personally, I'm with Donny, I already have enough grey hair and it's beyond my control anyway. Whatever happens is going to happen in spite of my little life here on this planet. This has been going on for the last few centuries, people have been convinced that they were living in the last days and the Lord would return any moment. It just becomes a joke to the average person. They even make fun of cults on sitcoms now - have you noticed? I've seen a couple where some of the stars joined a cult and they just made them such a big laughing stock, which they are. Usually they remind me of the Moonies, I guess that's what they are most familiar with.
