Probably 99 out of 100, (or possibly higher), people don't take into account the controlling effect that culture has upon them. The things that we think are excellent,entertaining, worth our time and money, are directly influenced by the culture in which we live.
Even more pertinent, and scary for that matter, is the religious convictions that we hold. Regardless of ones particular religious beliefs, the things that the culture around us believes to be true, have an effect upon what we believe. This is particularly true in regards to the end times. Around 100 years ago, a small group of guys, who had no business teaching Bible, fabricated this business called Dispensational Premillenialism. This belief system has taken hold of the American church at large, with very little biblical support, and too many people don't even raise any questions.
