Do they believe specifically in the End Times/prophecy/dispensationist Rapture theory, or just in the Bible? There's a slight difference. Most of my family are Christian to one degree or another, but none of them are eagerly awaiting Armageddon, as far as I'm aware.

I've always found something slightly slimy about apocalyptic thinking, like... this world isn't good enough for some people, so they're going to act as though there's a better one coming, which actually ends up making this one ever so slightly worse. Hard to enrich other people's lives when you can't wait for the end to come.

Of course, you'd think True Believers would be frequent jaywalkers, given the increased odds of being suddenly delivered from this weary world into paradise unending...
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
