I think you are myopic and lack critical thinking, but appreciate your topics and quips as they generate a lot of replies.
Every year since people learned how to bitch and moan it has been worse than yesteryear and the world was going to end at some point or another in the near future. Please understand this is old news.
Here are some quotes:
Quotation:
"About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamour and opposition." Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727 CE) 1
"The prophecies are to be unintelligible to the ungodly but intelligible to those who are properly instructed." Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662 CE) 2
"The Earth is degenerating today. Bribery and corruption abound. Children no longer obey their parents, every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching." Allegedly this came from an Assyrian tablet, c. 2800 BCE. However I seem to recall that an almost identical message was said to have appeared as graffiti in Pompeii.
and here are all the prophesized end of world dates. I almost posted them to make the point painfully clear but i didnt wanna be an a-hole.
