This was another huge "end of times" era in America.

People sold everything they had -- and on the appointed night they went to the hill tops and waited and waited and waited -- and then when home.

Now we have a new batch of nut cases & con artists who use the very same bible -- and come up with similar nonsense.

From the Journal research I've read in the area religiosity -- it seems that similar personality types are pulled into these religions.

Also when the social climate becomes unstable or perhaps confusing certain personality types seek leadership -- and they will rely on the mythology of the what they know and that would be the "written word of god".

Some research suggests that there is a huge separation between people who put on the appearance of being religious and others who are deeply compassionate and empathetic by nature.

Intrinsic Religiosity -- Christ-like in the very best sense of being compassionate, dedicating their lives to peace and easing the suffering of their fellow humans.

Extrinsic Religiosity -- like bushie and the tel-evangelists who are ultra rich.
