God did say to use your damn brains/smarts too, and not be fooled by prophets coming out of the woodwork, and yet here we go, every single time some 'doomsday' event occurs, a huge earthquake or a war or a ..., you name it, these crazies come out of the woodwork, proclaim that doom and gloom is upon us, and the loop starts up again.
And ironically enough, even Jesus didn't know when the 2nd Coming was to be. And people think some crackpot preacher (the majority of whom I think are scam artists anyway) knows more about what's to come than Jesus? Give me a break.
And we think our generation is one of the most intelligent ones around, compared to the last 2000 years? I wonder. There is a layer, where the more learned of us, where the occupations requiring quite a bit of training, book learning, internships, etc. (nasty words here, 'book learning'!) now occupy the upper tiers of the middle class (and the older components of the middle class are fading away, as skill sets age and are not needed any longer).
All I will say, is stay away from me, mine, and our communities. We don't need your garbage spewing out onto our streets.
