Actually, it's been pretty hilarious in DUmmieland since mid-July, with this "rapture" thing. The DUmmies are obsessed with it. Some days, there were more than half a dozen threads about the topic.
I've never seen so much ignorance about something the DUmmies don't understand in the first place; I've visited a great many "fundamentalist" ("fundamentalist" according to the DUmmies, "mainstream" according to we sane people) discussion boards, and rarely, if ever, saw the issue discussed. Only in DUmmieland did it seem to be a big deal.
The DUmmies buy into the media fiction that Bush is zealot who is trying to hasten the "end times" -- as such, they have tried to find out what the "end times" are. Unfortunately for them, it seems that their resources for information are people like lapsed Catholics who have vague memories of hearing something about it when they were kids and Jack Chick comic books.
