Yesterday at work, an older African-American woman came through the door, and I asked her the simple "How are you today?" You know, not REALLY caring, but being a nice person and expecting the "I'm alright, thanks" or "I'm well" (or "good," seeing as no one here knows proper grammar). I notice this woman is wearing glasses, under sunglasses. Weird.

Well... she was weird. She started talking about the End Times.
The world is coming to an end, as predicted "in the Old Testament" .. is it mentioned there? I don't know my Bible more than knowing Revelation.
Either way... she told me about how the earth will be consumed with fire, that it is happening soon, and nonbelievers will be cast into hell.

Well then!
I was as kind as I could be with this information. "Okay" and walking away.
But do you know how HARD it was for me not to respond to this psycho?
It's interesting that I'd be the one she decided to ramble to. I'm actually reading a book about how crazy these people are - fundamentalists who cling to Revelation, despite its disputed "facts" and many misinterpretations. Did you know that many Christians and scholars consider Revelation a HOAX?

The sad thing is, many leaders, particularly American, believe Revelation. They have their finger on the big red button... and they believe the end is coming.. and that they'll be SAVED! These leaders include the highly revered Ronald Reagan, and, of course, George W. Bush.

Anyway...
This post is poorly constructed. It's almost 8:30am.
But I think you get the gist.

See the "Now Reading" spot for book information; it's an interesting read.
