The day after the election, a relative of my husband's put up a FB post that effectively said that Obama getting elected was a sign of the end times, because blahblahblah Israel take over the US, or some such rot.
He (my husband, that is) has several step-brothers who were steeped in fundamentalist Baptist ideology from the cradle, and believe it without reservation. I'm just glad they all live down South. And I'm also very glad that Dean has a good head on his shoulders WRT that sort of thing; he is firmly in the court that if God didn't want us to learn and think, he'd have kept us on the mental level of the nonsentient animals.
