“Indeed, Christian editors had long understood that nothing attracted more readers to their religious rags than speculation about the destruction of everyone outside the faith. While fundamentalists tried to embody the virtues of love and charity, premillennialism could feed the darker elements of human nature. The faithful found something satisfying in anticipating the ultimate destruction of those who had long ignored them or mocked and derided their faith. They were offering the world a clear choice—join them or face annihilation. For a person to reject the message fundamentalists were offering was to seal his or her fate.”
