No, the kids pictured here have not overdosed on LSD.
They haven't been sucking on Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds.
They haven't been munching on brownies laced with Acapulco Gold, and they are not performing a scene for a Cheech & Chong movie.
You guessed it. The college students, featured on the front page of Nashville's major daily newspaper, are in the throes of a psychedelic Christian trance. And it looks dangerous. Some of these kids appear to be flapping their wings in preparation for a one way flight to Paradise.
Let's all pray they don't go into medicine or politics.
Thank you, Gannett, for a newspaper (sic) that reads like These Godly Times.
Thanks to all your front page news (sic) stories - like the one here, which takes up half the damn page - I can't ever forget that we are just counting the days, not to the next election, but to the Glorious Rapture.

God designed the universe and at the heart of that design is the suffering of Jesus, a Minneapolis minister told thousands of college students at Nashville's Gaylord Entertainment Center yesterday.
"I believe the entire universe exists to display the greatness of the glory of God's grace," the Rev. John Piper told more than 18,000 collegians attending Passion 06, a four-day Christian conference featuring musicians and speakers. "And that grace shines most brightly in the suffering of God's son."
I've been living in this red state for a long time, so will someone please tell me that it's not like this everywhere?
