Reply #2: Been here ten years (due to a job and now a partner and home) Why is Jesus so big down here?

[Malikshah]

Simple-- life down here is so hellacious that folks just automatically assume that the end times are near and they're grasping at anything to prepare themselves.

Signs of end-times in Florida:

Democratic Leadership acting like Republicans
Gators roaming the streets
Katherine Harris
A closeted governor who's Republican
Elderly Jewish voters voting for Hitler's love child (Pat Buchanan)

All we need are cats living with dogs and we're set.
