And God said: "Let there be AfterEffects!"

sabotabbyVia Feministe, behold this EPIC video about how if you don't pray on a certain day, the world will end:
Feministe has a video description.
WHAT IF WE DIDN'T ANSWER THE CALL FOR PRAYER? Apparently the world ends? But we never find out, because the far-too-ethnically-diverse-to-be-real congregation gets down on its knees on the floor (they ran out of pews? It's hard to tell) and the lightning stops and the fiery sky turns back to blue. If this is how the season finale of Fringe goes tomorrow night, I will be sorely disappointed.
There is some beautiful green-screening. Interesting type effects too.
We are reminded that God created the heavens and mountains (and can take them away JUST LIKE THAT).
And the music. The music is just so epic. It's exactly the kind of music I have to repeatedly stop my kids from using in every single video they make.
What I don't understand—and correct me if I'm wrong—is that Christians of a certain stripe (I don't even want to say evangelical Christians because I can name at least one who is Not Like That) actually want the world to end. Like, that's their thing. There are billboards advertising it all over the city at this point, and they've even settled on a date. Which is soon. Yet the message of this video seems to be "pray or it's the apocalypse for you!"
I am very confused.
Also, I don't know about YHWH, but I'm guessing Cthulhu does not approve of videos like this, and will eat the people who made it last.
