Anyone who says they know when armagedden is coming, is wrong. Are you sure he was praying for it, or saying to be prepared for it?
Now, if he said it something like, the signs are there, for the possibility of it coming any time, that may be more accurate, but the Bible specifically says that no one on Earth knows when it is coming, and when it comes, it will come as a surprise (so, I guess technically, as long as the kooks are saying the end is right around the corner, it likely is not).
What you have to ask yourself, how much influence do the kooks control?
I went through Denver a couple years ago (remind me to never do that again) and the anti-religious kooks on the radio there, were just as bad, or worse, and I was thinking the same thing as you...what if people with these idiotic viewpoints get elected to power? I would say, that some of those, should never be in a position of power, either.
