CNN --Apocalypse now.. (err...umm great) Thanks a lot

Get that fearmentum going at warp speed

Harris Poll polled 1000 people.. 59% believed in armageddon...17% thought it would happen in their lifetime :eyes:

and the linked to www.raptureready.com




Wouldn't it be a hoot if someone finds the last page of the bible in a cave somewhere, and there's only one word on the page... and after translation it says:

PSYCH !!!!

4. Either applies. :)
My father is still an ordained minister. Went to Ashcroft's dad's bible school in Missouri, Central Valley Bible School, if I remember correctly.

2. I don't get these end of the world types...
they clearly don't know their religious history.

People have believed that the "end times", or whatever you want to call them, are coming...well, something like forever.

There were big end of the world panics in the years 1000 and 1500, for certain.

And, you know, those people who wrote the Gospels around 70 AD, believed that Jesus' return and the end of the world was imminent THEN!

:banghead:
