I became a Christian, and found that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I'm still fascinated how the media, and religion intertwines to manipulate people through their fears, and have them focus on that fear to act out behavior to such extreme lengths. While on one hand a liberal Christian mocks the standards of an ultra-conservative Christian, he or she then spins right around to extreme behavior in another way, hence the extremes of "some" preppers, and bug outs.

I completely agree with this statement and the same is true in the opposite direction. If your father were kind of crazy in his attitude with this, I can see why it would be a turn off for you. I was watching a video of a girl and her father and they were "prepping". She had this sadness in her eyes that I thought was sad. Whether they are Christian views or prepper views or whatever they are.....they should benefit people and not hurt them. (Man was not made for the sabbath, but the sabbath was made for man.)

Just remember the Donner Party started out with a group of civilized well meaning people who after their situation turned bleak they survived through cannibalism, hence the whole zombie armageddon/world war Z fear being preached over the media pulpit.
I thought we were supposed to be in Marshall law by now? Wasn't that the message that was sermonized from the Cabelvision Vatican of the airwaves? The effect of War of the Worlds radio program in 1938 taught the media how powerful it was to manipulate the masses.
Fear shouldn't be a response, fear is only a choice.

There are things we should be afraid of, but not a reactionary fear. Fear should be a motivator for lessening powerlessness. If a reaction make a person more powerless or alienated from loved ones, it is not helping anything or anyone.
