Oh sure, you hardly have to read between the lines in revelations or matthew 24. Actually, this should interest you:
Matthew 24:34 - I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
In other words, the people in the first century were expecting the second coming of Jesus... any day... any day now. Here we are 2000 years later and people are still making major decisions based on the idea god is going to stomp us like ants any second now. It's repulsive. Policy decisions are based on it! The most powerful nation on earth is moving its military might based on Bush's little talks with god at the foot of the bed. It's scary - it's, it's - there just aren't words for it.
