Yes, one of my cousins and her family became uber-religious fantatics about 15 years ago. They actually dropped their insurance coverage and sold off a lot of their belongings right before the new millenium arrived. They were pretty disappointed to find out that life pretty much went on as usual after that (although 9/11 changed all of that, but not for the same reason).
Last week my cousin posted on FB that she “could only be so lucky” if the western part of the U.S. would also be hit with a hurricane, because of course “this” was the real end time to beat all end times. So now she’s just sitting at home sulking and asking everybody to pray for her and her family (but hasn’t exactly said why). We’re pretty sure it’s because her son, who she believes to be a God-fearing, good, obedient Christian, just knocked up his girlfriend. He actually is a really nice guy, just horny, like most guys, but never really had the opportunity to be edumacated about all of that sex stuff, because their church doesn’t believe in telling young people about the facts of life, because in their church, nobody believes that we’re going to make it past the next flood, earthquake or hurricane. And for them, the end times can’t come soon enough. She’ll soon change her tune as soon as she gets a look at the face of her grandbaby : )
