Stop listening to the Sky Pixie Fanciers, and calm down.


Even if what they "predict" was true (and experience says they are full of bullshit like they have been so many times in the past) is there anything useful you could do? Either to stop it, or make it better?

And won't you feel a proper idiot if you assume it is all going to happen and prepare yourself by selling everything, and abandoning yourself to wild debauchery, (or penance, I'm broad minded) and it doesn't happen?
Ideological Purity is no substitute for being able to stick your thumb down a pipe to stop the water
