You can selectively interpret the Bible to predict anything...including what you'll be having for dinner tomorrow night.

I suppose cynics could do the same with the Constitution.

Sure. Just like Nostradamus etc. The point is that it gives me the creeps every time some yahoo interprets Event X as being foreshadowed by the Bible. I'm not knocking Biblical prophesy...just the propensity of some to be reading the religious tea leaves without a sense of perspective. There are loons across the political spectrum who see what isn't there. An example from the left were those who claimed the Bible foretold Reagan's presidency because each of his three names had six letters --- 666 - The Mark of the Beast. One can laugh but same absurdity at issue here when one sees X and suggests the Bible predicted it.
