What is dangerous is that people like this may very well become numerous enough to put one of their own in powerful governmental positions. Those people might just do everything they can to encourage conflict in that part of the world, and, frankly, might precipitate the start of World War III which may include nuclear holocaust.
Schraf, imo the premise of your OP is a meanspirited strawman premise. From what I read of your link, nearly all of the good folks responding made it clear that it was the prophecied 2nd advent of messiah/savior Jesus that excited them and that war was being waged, killing people saddened them. This thread is just a meanspirited bashing on your part of Biblical fundamentalists who happen to take the prophesies at face value based on the excellent track record of prophecies having been fulfilled and being fulfilled.
These are indeed exciting days for everyone, especially folks like us who have studied and followed the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, indicative of the supernatural in the Biblical prophecies. That in no way makes us gleeful of death and suffering. In fact, the same book prophesies tribulation/severe persecution, death and suffering to fundamentalist Christians for these last days and in some parts of the world this has already begun.
