Do you think that when someone talks about an impending Apocalypse that they're subconsciously wishing to be pushished?

Not really, because most of the folks who believe in an impending apocalypse believe that they will escape the earth before it hits.
I do think some folks look foward to it as a means of erasing mistakes and rectifying failures. The most dedicated apocalypse-proponant that I ever met owed over $50,000 to the IRS. It reminds me of Ed Norton in Fight Club - creating an army of space monkeys to erase credit debt.

Yes, they want proof their faith isn't misplaced. Otherwise, what would be the point in talking about an impending Apocalypse?

Why wouldn't I want to believe in Jesus?
because that closes me off to any and all other perspectives that make more sense to me regarding life, i would stop questioning, I would settle, and I would never listen, compromise, or find enjoyment with those that oppose or challenge my view. I would become less interesting because all my answers would be limited to a teaching of a book, people I know would stop having well-rounded conversations with me because they knew inevitably I would eventually try to convert them.
In my travels through the world, I would be viewing the world with a closed perspective, and other cultures that weren't Christian, I would see as those I need to 'change' for the better. Instead of listening and appreciating their views, I would only be concentrating on an angle to get them saved.
I would basically being lying to myself, I would surrender logic to blind faith, and I would lose the creativity and shock value humor I currently have. I would be unhappy, and unsure of my decisions. get it?

No, they're subconsciously wishing to watch others be punished.

Bring it!!! I'll fight! No one should be punished for such ridiculous spiritual laws. We are sacred Apes and we should respect our selves and each other enough to stamp out such an invasion!!!!
