Quote from CNN December 1999:
CNN Interactive - @2000 - Apostles of the Apocalypse: Are we ready for the end?
"According to a poll in April, 44 percent of Americans think Jesus will likely return to Earth within the next 50 years. The poll was conducted by Princeton Research Associates for Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Another Princeton Research Associates poll conducted for Newsweek magazine in November found that 40 percent of Americans believe the world will end with the battle of Armageddon as described in the New Testament book of Revelation. Of those, some 47 percent believe the Antichrist is already on Earth."
Is it just me or is this proof beyond doubt that the USA is deeply infected with a mass hysteria? And if they dislike the anti-christ why have they twice elected him their president!!??
I asked an American friend the other day why she chooses to live here with our high cost of living, higher taxes and eroding civil liberties. She said "at least most people are reasonably sane here". It was her that led me to the above statistics and even cynical old gitt that I am was shocked by it. Am I alone in find this deeply, deeply disturbing?
