In Florida, I think, a woman was so convinced that the rapture had come that she jumped out of the sunroof of her car and died on the Freeway. To me, that goes beyond faith and moves into the area of insanity.

To me, that goes beyond faith and moves into the area of insanity.I remember reading once that about 83% of people with schizophrenia believe that one of the voices they "hear" belongs to God. A slightly lower percentage "hears" the voices of aliens, and a slightly higher percentage "hears" voices of dead relatives.
Clearly, mentally unstable people form their delusions from their real world exposures (to TV, to culture, to society, to media, to fiction, etc.) along with their overactive imaginations.

I'll bet she didn't know much Greek or Hebrew, either.
