Armageddon
Armageddon
Just think of the alternative to having the world end during your generation. Life will go on, humans will evolve, the greatest innovations and greatest times of humanity will exist after you are dead, and you'll never have seen humanity at it's greatest. You will not have lived at civilizations peak. So which would you prefer? Having seen the greatest and best, or dying before the best will ever happen?
Unfortunately, there's some wacko's out there that hold the signs up on the street corners out there that say "the end is nigh", blame things like gay marriage for bringing god's wrath, and drink the coolaid. Why? Because they can't accept the fact that life will go on after they are gone, so they would much rather have it all end now.
Just to be clear, this current nutjob psycho who's screaming the world will end on Saturday is just one wacko trying to con money from his "believers". He hasn't sold his home, he hasn't liquidated his wealth, in fact, his bank accounts have multiplied exponentially since he's screamed the world will end. Meanwhile, some of his followers have sold everything and given all their money to him.
His HQ is about a mile from my house, and around here, everyone think's he a wacko. People in Oakland do not think the world will end. They do not think this guy is right. In fact, most people in this city are not con men.
There are a couple of fun times planned for the weekend because of this though. The best one I've heard is people encouraging you to go out, buy a couple pairs of shoes from goodwill, go to your local gas (ie, air) distributor, and buy some dry ice pellets. At 6pm on Saturday, leave some shoes out with dry ice in them, some clothes scattered next to them. And leave them. Come back in a couple hours to clean it up of course.
Sunday, there's a huge party planned in downtown Oakland by the American Society of Atheists. Ya, they're for real... Maybe just as big of wacko's.
And we'll see how many of these wacko's wake up on Sunday, realizing they have been left behind. And with no savings, no homes, nothing to keep them going, only one way to catch up to their friends who have been raptured, hopefully to many don't follow in the footsteps of heaven's gate or Jim Jones.
