sweens8403 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I never said it did have any escatological relevance. I'm just concerned about people's reactions based on what these ancient "prophets" have told them. A person is (usually) smart and could recognize these things as being historically interesting, but people are dumb panicky animals and if some of them think the world's ending they will act like the world's ending. looting, burning cars, etc simply put, are any of you folks planning on laying in supplies for when the world loses its mind?

This will all come to a head in 2012, resulting in a clash of the titans, with Obama having to don the Braveheart-esque blue paint and lead his troops into battle against Oprah and her minions.

DominicanPhilosophy Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Just curious, with all the increasing freak-outs across the globe about the supposed end of the world in 2012 (I'll have just graduated..figures.. ), has Rome made any sort of statement? +JMJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be the usual millenial-nutjobs out, with their aluminum foil hats and what not. We, the faithful, must not find ourselves swayed by such lunacy.
