2. " ... they'll destroy this whole planet to make their Bibles come true."

That sums it up.

3. Time for my once a year quote from

Barry Goldwater.

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. The government won't work without it. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

5. I liked Barry G., but not his party, but he's right. These so-called Christians think that they have the authority to

do whatever they please because 'God' told them. Yeah, do you want to buy a bridge?

6. He wouldn't be a republican today

He and his wife were founding members of Arizona Planned Parenthood.

4. People are to blame for their Biblical illiteracy, along with the social harm they cause due to their ignorant belief

that they are "saved" or are spiritually superior to other humans -- not Jesus or the Bible, which he is at the center of.
Jesus specifically said that he, as the Son of God the Father, did not know when or how the end would come; nor do the angels of heaven or anyone except the Father.

All the folks this video refers to have to do is just go online and find out what the Bible itself says about "the end."

.
This unnecessary crap has lasted across centuries because people are literally and spiritually lazy, and have wanted to be right (or to gain power over others) more than make the effort to read what the Bible actually says.

AI is a tool. Here's what DeepMind AI compiled about historical doomsday predictions in less than a second.

"The end of the world has been predicted hundreds, if not thousands, of times throughout history by religious figures, cult leaders, and mystics, with some sources listing over 170 specific religiously motivated predictions alone, covering dates from ancient times to the 21st century, none of which have come true.
Predictions range from specific dates like 1914, 1994, and 2000, to broader eras, often linked to biblical interpretations or celestial events, showing a consistent pattern of failed apocalyptic warnings.

Examples of Past Predictions
Early Christianity: Gnostics and other early groups anticipated the imminent arrival of God's kingdom.
Medieval Era: Predictions included the years 999, 1000, and 1666, often tied to numerology or cosmic events.
17th Century: Figures like Christopher Columbus and radical Christian groups predicted the end.

19th & 20th Centuries:
Charles Taze Russell (Jehovah's Witnesses founder) and later Jehovah's Witnesses set dates like 1878, 1914, 1925, and 1975.
Astrologers and UFO cult leaders, such as Jeane Dixon (1962) and Dorothy Martin (1954), also made specific predictions.
Harold Camping famously predicted May 21, 2011, and October 21, 2011, as the end.

Key Takeaways
Frequency: Doomsday predictions are a recurring phenomenon across cultures and faiths, making an exact count impossible.
Sources: These predictions come from religious texts (like Revelation), numerology, astronomy, or interpretations of societal anxieties.

Outcome: Every specific date prediction for the world's end has failed to materialize"
