End of the World?

I know someone who was rather uptight about the partial eclipse on the day of Pope John Paul II's funeral. I kind of laughed at that but maybe I was wrong. Check out this story entitled, "Doomsayers Say Benedict Fits World End Prophecy" and see if it doesn't at least make the hair on the back of your neck stand.

I am most superstitious on a baseball diamond - I never step on the line and I do believe in "rally-caps." I don't let the end-of-the-world types get to me. But reading this story made me think about one thing, why is it that there is never a decent scary movie anymore? "The Others" was pretty good although I understood what was happening before the punchline came. And I admit "The Sixth Sense" prevented me from sleeping much of that night I first saw it. But aside from these, I cannot think of the last time I really had the bejesus scared out of me. If a bunch of (perhaps or maybe not) nuts can come up with this stuff, why can't film writers? Common Hollywood! Can't you guys jump on this thing and really make me frightened?

  • Actually, there are a lot of Christians who believe that the Apocalypse will take place in 2007, some believing in August.

    Apparently, Pat Robertson is among those who believe this. Whether this is going to happen, is beyond my control.

    If Pat Robertson believes the beginning of the end will take place in 2007, then what does George W. Bush think? He's a devout Christian, does he believe the same thing? If he does, then it stands to reason that he believes the 2008 Presidential Election will never take place.

    But this "doomsday" theory is based on the notion that Christianity is the "one true religion". What do the Jews have to say about the end of the world? What do the Muslims have to say? Heck, what do the Hindus have to say? Are they all predicting doomsday at the same time?
