I’m just curious why you think this should be relegated to the closet down the hall?
You can’t grasp the significance of it, or it angers you to be confronted with something that makes you uncomfortable and may be very important?
Because it's the latest in a long, long line of "the end is near" predictions. All such predictions have been wrong in the last 1,900-plus years; I see no reason to think this one is any different. All of the date-setters and sign-seers had their reasons, and all of them thought, "this time is different." Well, this time isn't different.

Nothing like being psychoanalyzed because you disagree. It's not that I can't grasp the "significance" - it's that I think it's total bunk. As for it making me "uncomfortable"? Hardly - though I think my dissenting opinion may make a few others on this board uncomfortable. Oh well - like I told another poster, if you don't want dissent and ridicule, post it in the religion forum.
