End Times and A Vengeful God

The "religious groups" depicted in this story really make me wonder about people and their warped interpretation of God. The idea of hastening the End Times and a God that is vengeful is complete insanity to me. I was brought up Catholic and decided a long time ago that the idea of God was one of love. I have seen this love in the eyes of my once infant children and cannot imagine God in any other way. What I can imagine is an Evil Being (Devil) that absolutely would have ideas that would destroy civilization. I'm certain that noone who believes in a vengeful One would ever agree with me but I really wonder what goes through their mind. Actually, I really don't want to know!
