Just like that creepy little girl in _The Ring_.
It helps to sustain the fervor of the faithful to contend that the end is nigh . . . just a little longer, hold on, he is coming . . .
I do wish they could pin down the date certain - it would be useful to know just when to set oneself to the task of maxing out the plastic.
It seems this whole issue came about because of the creation of Israel. True there were those who wished for the second coming since the day Christ died but today it has taken on a new intensity by all three Abrahamic religions.
I also noted that these three religions are some of the most warlike. They are especially bloodthirsty when they believe they are fighting for their God or religion. On one side of their mouth they preach love, peace and on the other side its kill, destroy.
So Israel's been around for over 50 years and the world still hasn't ended?!?! Man oh Manischewitz, what the hell is everyone waiting for??? I mean, I've got tickets and everything.
Let's see.
The world was supposed to end 1/1/1000.
The world was supposed to end 1/1/1500.
The world was supposed to end 1/1/1900.
The world was supposed to end 1/1/2000.
Hell, even Demi Moore had a movie where the world was supposed to end 5/5/2005.
It ain't happened yet. I want my money back.
Wait. I didn't pay anything.
Drink the Kool-Aid and get it over with.

I wish these clowns would rapture up out of here, and leave the rest of us to get down and get funky . . .
The leader of the movement looks like such a happy guy too.
The problem here is if a religionist extremest has the ability to start a nuclear war, then there is a chance he would in the messed up belief that this is what his god would want him to do. God can be a dangerous entity for existance. So where is all those nuclear suitcases the russians lost ?
I experienced an apocalypse when I broke my big sis's perfume bottle once.
I am living in Hell since.
From the stink of the perfume you couldn't remove or the venom of your sister who will never forget?
Yeah Both.
The Perfume spilt over my favorite Olympic Rolex Watch . The watch smells strong since and my sis sounds even stronger. :wink:
