And ...I'm so sick of these idiotic predictions. And that's just the ones that have been made and inevitably failed in my own lifetime! Christian zealots have been performing this same song and dance for centuries, every single time conveniently forgetting or ignoring the thousands and thousands of Apocalypses that were promised but never delivered.<br /><br />Can we get The Vatican to issue a papal bull declaring Revelations to be apocryphal or something? Of all the books of the New Testament, it's one of the most distantly removed from the rest in both content AND historical origin.<br /><br />If not that, can we at least get a denunciation of the notion that the "End Times" are anywhere near being upon us? It can even be framed as being on the same side of these lunatics, saying <i>"Look, we've got people who spend their whole lives studying the Apocalypse and communing with the big guy upstairs, and if the end of the world was coming, we'd know and you'd know, so stop reading too much into things!"</i><br /><br />...of course, this all assumes American Christians even know or care who the Pope is, and respect him and the Vatican's authority and policies - which might be assuming far, far too much for many of them.G.
