From what I understand, this disturbing worldview is not shared by the majority of evangelicals.

This is correct. As a fairly educated evangelical, I have never understood any of this nonsense.

If the prophecies are valid, THEY WILL HAPPEN REGARDLESS, OBVIOUSLY. Idiots. It is just so comical to me that these people supposedly acknowledge God to be the Creator of the known universe, but in practice it's like they think He's basically useless. "If Hillary gets elected, the prophecies won't come true! God could not have been expecting this! OH NOEZ!"

There is a famous quote from a Rep. in the state House in Tennessee about why he voted against putting up the Ten Commandments on public property: "If God wanted the Ten Commandments in the courthouse, He wouldn't need the Tennessee General Assembly's help."

Too bad "educated" evangelicals provide these lunatics a shield to continue preaching their nonsense.
