Nearly four in 10 U.S. residents blame weather on "end times"


CHICAGO (Reuters) - Nearly four in 10 U.S. residents say the severity of
recent natural disasters such as Superstorm Sandy is evidence the world
is coming to an end, as predicted by the Bible, while more than six in
10 blame it on climate change, according to a poll released on Thursday.

The survey by the Public Religion Research Institute in partnership with
the Religion News Service found political and religious disagreement on
what is behind severe weather, which this year has included extreme heat
and drought.

Nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of white evangelical Protestants say they
think the storms are evidence of the "end times" as predicted by the Bible.

Maybe if you had paid your taxes the government could have educated
those 4 out of 10 people.

It sort of reminds you of the "global warming will kill us all" people
doesn't it?


No. Global warming is real. The bible is mostly fiction.
