(Remember when the Bible had only 3 1/2 books? Daniel, Revelation, the "nuclear war chapter" of Ezekiel (the 1/2), and <I>Late Great Planet Earth</I>?) I was having flashbacks like a 'Nam vet until around 1988.<BR/><BR/>At junior college in the mid-Seventies, I read somewhere about this "Child Evangelist" (i.e. six-year-old revival preacher, kid-sized KJV and all). His tag line was "CHRIST IS COMING SOON! ALL THE END-TIME PROPHECIES ARE BEING FULFILLED! WE MIGHT NOT HAVE A 1978! OR EVEN A 1977!"<BR/><BR/>It is now 2008. I rest my case.<BR/><BR/>And since the real estate prices (and my investments) tanked, I have been hearing a LOT of (literally) Apocalyptic stuff. And it's not even specifically Rapture Ready Christian Apocalyptic. I've had Ayn Rand cultists cite <I>Atlas Shrugged</I> chapter-and-verse; I've heard tabloid "COMING GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE!" with or without "666! DON'T TAKE THE MARK!"; and I've been hearing Survivalist rhetoric now that I haven't heard in 20 years. ("When Push Comes to Shove, the Most Plentiful Food Source in the Cities WILL be Human Flesh! Prepare to Do What Must Be Done to SURVIVE!!!!!")<BR/><BR/>These days, I can't tell if I'm watching CNN or <I>South Park</I>. Have I gone batshit crazy or has everybody else?<BR/><BR/>-- Headless Unicorn GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
