Most of them don't want to wake up. They can't handle thinking like this.
I think that's seriously true. May even be a factor with my 81 year old step dad.
1) The WOT is not tidily done up in a 30-60 min TV show. Therefore, we can't handle it.
2) The WOT has real blood and gore. In spit of our horror movie conditioning, we still can't handle reality on a lot of levels. Alcohol as anesthetic only goes so far for so many.
3) There's too little viable authentic Christian spirituality substrate/foundation to carry us forward into the storm dealing with reality on a realistic level. Even masses of Christians are, in addition to playing church, pretending that they have a functional relationship with God, they are also going through the motions of relating authentically with their families as they run the materialistic rat race and try to keep up with bro & sis Jones.

I could go on but have to get out the door.
