If such a horrible "prophesy" were to manifest I suspect it wouldn't be because g*d finally came back and kicked everybody's ass out of the pool for peeing in it. The "prophesy" would come about because everyone will be shooting at their neighbors across geopolitical and religious boundaries, all in the name of their g*d, the one and only true g*d. At times like this I sometimes wish I could be an atheist. But alas, I don't suspect a "godless" world would be any more of a solution to the world's woes. From what I can tell stupidity, ignorance, hatred, and bigotry know no geopolitical and/or philosophical boundaries. If there were no religion in the world I suspect all the idiots, bigots, and the ignorant would find some other all-mighty philosophy to hang their hang-ups on. I continue to hope that the Golden Rule for which Mike Carrell refreshingly brought back to our attention will eventually prevail. It is one of the most universally prevalent and respected laws known on our planet. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
