Gave a commercial? I'm not following. Mary Katherine Gallagher wannabe asked for their purpose and I was just sharing why and how some of us crazy Christians do it. A commercial interrupts the main programming, but this is the main programming. I'm not following your commercial comment at all young man 
I'm not sure on the numbers but I wouldn't call creationism mainstream Christianity. I've never met a Christian (not claiming to be a creationist) that claim the bible has anything to do with science. A lot of us also have a healthy appreciation for church and state, but the further south you go, the less they seem to care about the constitution. As far as the preaching hell fire and damnation and the reckoning, that's probably a reaction to being dissatified with the world or their life in it's current state and might be a "call to arms" to some. Some people are so fearfull, unsure or unhappy that they want the reckoning to come now, and they are truly sad (but scary) zealots who only serve their own fears and desires. The part of Jesus's message they're seeming to forget is to love thy neighbor and to obey the laws of God and man (not change them to suit your own selfish purposes).

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
