Ok, imagine this scenario. Aliens from space land in your backyard. They just happen to speak perfect English, and they want to chat with you about current events here on Earth. In the course of your discussions you explain to them that the birth of a "red calf" in Israel is a sign of the end of the world, and that you and many other people are taking serious steps to prepare yourselves for the end of the world because of the birth of this calf.
You notice the aliens looking at each other with strange looks on their faces. They soon wrap up the conversation and bid you goodbye. As they are walking up the ramp to their ship you notice them checking a box next to the name "Earth" on a list. The box is marked "Hopelessly Insane".

So we are insane for believing in God and prophecy but YOU, who believes in space aliens, is sane? Right. BTW, the message from the mothership behind the comet said not to drink the Kool-Aid.

First, I quit my educating when these holy rollers tole me the end was imminent. Then, after twenny years digging ditches and washing dishes at a motel restaurant, I quit my job, 'coz the holy rollers tole me again the end was imminent. Now what? Stop washing, eating?!

Amusing, and perhaps quite correct. I am not planning to sell my ranch and dig a deep hole or anything, but for a believer, having prophesy after prophesy fulfilled gives me the heebie jeebies.
I dont know how many biblically prophesied things have to take place before I stockpile canned food, right now I do my job, feed my horses, and carry on as usual.
People seeing hitler rise thought the bubble was going up, two thousand years of false alarms does make folks jaded even if they do believe in the Almighty.
However, being spiritually "together" is hardly a dysfunctional state of affairs, it is not a bad idea any time.
If and when the Temple of Solomon's reconstruction begins, I humbly recommend you reconsider your cynicism.

Aliens from space land in your backyardI think the check box more likely was beside the words, "immature supernaturalist species."
Their reports final recomendation was, "check again in another 1000 planetary rotations."

Imagine this scenario, Billy_bob_bob is more likely to believe in aliens that can travel light years as easily as we go to France, but he thinks those that believe in a Creator are nuts.

"Ok, imagine this scenario. Aliens from space land in your backyard. " And what if they happen to be carrying a copy of The Bible and have stopped by Earth to see the red heifer? Just as plausible.
