    Hi Bigpoppapuff,

    MMmmm, sounds interesting. Wonder if they'll show it out here anytime soon (or sneak it onto youtube).

    I've got some fundie mates and, though I love them, I just can't get my head around their apocolyptic desire for the rapture. On the one hand they're kind, plan for the future and recycle to 'save the planet', on the otherhand they're expecting the whole ball of clay to turn tits up and the rest of us to burn in the fires of hell on earth.

    None of it worries me 'cause I don't believe in any of this superstitious nonsense. One even asked me if I'd look after her dog if she 'disappeared' in the rapture. This dog is 18 so she's obviously been told it's coming soon. Other than falling for this brainwashing they're pretty bright people.

    But when these sort of people are running countries it's no wonder they aren't too concerned with planning for the future.

    What was the most frightening part of the show? Another worrying documentary about fundamentalists (both Islamic and Christian) is 'The root of all Evil' (AKA The god delusion). This is on youtube.

    Cheers

    I'd be more concerned with the prospect of Hillary being president but since that will never happen, there's nothing to worry about.
