“Oy! I thought they would have moved on
with their lives by now. My bad.”

You can only hope that the methodology was bad, or that the Baptists were drinking heavily when this poll was conducted.

Associated Press-AOL News poll

Another terrorist attack, a warmer planet, death and destruction from a natural disaster are among Americans’ grim predictions for the United States in 2007.

Only a minority of people think the United States will go to war with Iran or North Korea over those countries’ nuclear ambitions. An overwhelming majority of those surveyed think Congress will raise the federal minimum wage. One-third see hope for a cure to cancer.

These are among the findings of an Associated Press-AOL News poll that asked people in the United States to contemplate what 2007 holds for the country.

Six in 10 people think the United States will be the victim of a terrorist attack.

25 per cent anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ.

  2. ECA says:

    Im sorry,
    I beleave that MAN will create his OWN heaven or hell, by what WE LEAVE here on earth.
    IF and when Christ comes, he will Laugh at us, for ALL we have killed, and lavished upon ourselves, and NOT forseen…
    We might as well DIE, and turn over…and GO away from his sight.

    We all need an imaginary friend during a time of crisis. This makes as much sense as any of the imaginary friends.

  5. brucemlloyd says:

    But would anyone believe, or understand, his message of love and peace if he did return?

  6. Jesus Christ says:

    Folks, folks – no pushing. We get most of you on the bus heading north. Only two bags and a carryon are allowed and certainly not the size on the bag they popped me in at Turin. Now you lawyers, you get on the special bus, yes, yes it is pointed south – you’re going to special place were it is warm. Real warm. No, no you won’t be needing this briefs and shit – chuck them over in the dumpster. Holy shit there are a lot of you bottom living mud sickers. We’ll just end up giving you enemas and burying you in shoeboxes.

  7. Brian says:

    Would any of the so-called ‘religious’ folk in this country accept Jesus’ message today? No, they’d call him a hippie with his long hair and talk of peace and love and ignore him.

    And 25%? What happens when he doesn’t return in 2007?

  8. Uncle Dave says:

    #7: Does anyone call anyone a hippie anymore? How anachronistic.

    “What happens when he doesn’t return in 2007?”
    Oops, we got the date wrong. We meant 2008.

    My favorite book:

    “The end is coming!” 12th edition…

    #1, Amen brother. And Indiana doesn’t have open mole season !!!

  11. Mr. Fusion says:

    What the neo-cons and religious wing nuts don’t understand, the Christ returned about 1955. We didn’t hear about it because the United Fruit Company kept a strong lid on any news coming out of Central America. Unfortunately, he was killed by the Death Squads in Nicaragua (using those Ronald Reagun’s weapons) who didn’t believe he was a young man of peace. To them, he was just another rabble rousing, commie freak. Next time, I don’t think he will reuse the same name, its become too common.

    I do. We also have a few that post here.

    Can’t we just resurrect Heaven’s Gate and book them on the next comet.

  14. doug says:

    how many expect the FIRST coming of Jesus Christ?

  15. Timbo says:

    “How To Lie With Statistics” was one of my favorite books thirty years ago.

    Add that to the short attention-span of the media-overloaded public and you can leave a false, negative impression that they never check up on.

    This is called “black propaganda.”

  16. Irv says:

    The FIRST coming? Actually this’ll be like the 3rd for the messiah, which we direly need. As to Jesus, we await the second of many, although he’s not the cleanup guy, not the “Christ”. That’s Melchizedek and he’ll help us with leadership transplant. See the Jews we’re waiting for cleanup Christ=Messiah. That’s what I’m waiting for too. Jesus will be the icing on the cake possibly at the same time or later. Christians are named for the “Christ”, But Jesus was/is not the Christ, Jesus is above that office, he’s the local Creator Son. Thats “God” to us. Mel will come with 11 equal associates and lotsa celestial army. Exactly when is always the question, but it’s getting warm. The proof is in the proof, y’all will see, don’t say I didn’t tell ya. If ya need a theorhetical proof-manuscript to debug for your own conscious, well, scope inspiredbooks.com

    They better pack those “Real ID” cards or they aint going nowhere.

  18. citas says:

    Nobody knows when his coming, even the angels nor the son of God , ONLY the father knows. that is why we always have to be prepared ourselves and pray and repent. For America especially..

  19. Jägermeister says:

    #18 ONLY the father knows

    And as a father I tell you that you can stop praying because there won’t be a second act for Jesus.

  20. Esteban says:

    Pray for the rapture. It’ll ease traffic congestion.
