We're doomed, "DOOMED" I say

Well, we're all fucked, that's for sure. First Hagee with his Blood Moons, now Pat Robertson foretelling the end is neah with an asteroid wacking us. And he says this is going to happen next week - but, then again he later says it could happen a 1,000 years from now.

Ah, the fear. You can smell it on the spring breeze.

"Pat Robertson, the news was just the latest reason to hype his book, The End of the Age, which asserts that the End Times predicted in Revelation will be brought on by a meteor."

“I wrote a book!” Robertson advised viewers. “It deals with an asteroid hitting the Earth. I don’t see anything else that fulfills the prophetic words of Jesus Christ other than an asteroid strike.”

There's a reason why holy men refer to themselves as shepherds and the fear of the end of all is a way to herd the sheep.

When I was 16 back in the '60's.. aliens were supposed to be landing and abducting people .. a huge invasion don't ya know.. and we did not have the internut to feed the story.. people just love the thought of the end of the world for some reason.. like I always tell them.. you are right.. you are living in the end times.. we all are living in the end times.. and have been since cognition..because you are going to cease to exist at some point in time.. you are in your very own personal end times.. trust me.. it shuts them up quickly
