That's true. As the Good Book says,

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." 1 Cor 1:18

and...

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

And this little gem (which has nothing to do with anything but I laugh every time I hear it):

"As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick." (Tevye)

Exactly. However, those who are biblically illiterate have no ears to hear - nor eyes to see. That makes discerning the times impossible.
