so, it has come to my attention that some old hoary sage or someone predicted that this pope after John Paul whichevernumberhewas would be last Pope.

So who goes in for that superstitious crap, anyway?

Anyone watched those late-night prophecy shows in between QVC channel-flipping and been slightly nauseated yet strangley uneasy about this whole apocalypse thing?

And should "baby, we only got one more Pope and then Lucifer rules the earth from his fiery charabanc of retribution...let's pump kin" be my new pickup line?

The best part: i swear to god these all popped up when i typed "prophet."

i'll be in the corner, cowering under my afghan. This also works to evade the robots who want to steal my medicine for food.

It kind of works out with that whole Mayan calendar thing, too. On December 21st, 2012, Benedict XVI turns into a pumpkin.

Just remember that in case we're not all wiped out, you'll be needing a dog, a car, a shotgun, and a jacket with one arm cut off.

Want to come live in my crazy-old-coot canned goods bunker?

In the "Pro" column, i guess i don't need to be worrying about that pesky career path!

I'm so happy that Alice came up with the word prophet! I think the times we live in are so crazy, I don't know what more the apocolypse could do. According to Bahai beliefs, the current age will come to a catostrophic end and at that time peace will finally be able to be restored. So, this prediction, even if true could just be the dawning of a new age.

Well I for one will raise my hand and say that I am a fan of existence.

On the other hand, Jehovah's Witnesses have been predicting the apocalypse for a couple hundred years now...

But hey, if the Rapture will get you up off your ass to do something, believe it.

i can't say that my response to the end of the world wouldn't be a little more Nietzschean than that.

Just remember, all things come to an end. However, that just means that something new is begining. Beginings are always exciting. Think about a first kiss, the first day of spring, the first time you did anything that seemed impossible but you did it. That is the best feeling ever. I think when this world ends it will be like that. Just the begining of something awesome and new.

Hey, as long as it's not construed to be in support of Pascal, I'm good. (No offense to anyone, but fuck Pascal and his theory)

But really, I'm just sleep deprived and therefore not able to comprehend reality nullified... but what else is there to do except what will make you happy? (Though you should already be doing this )

Though I will admit that everything seems to culminating toward something these days. Just a notion I've been having...

You're going to hell for that comment! While I don't believe in hell, I have a whole other theory that I would be happy to spout if anyone is interested, the catholics do. You've blasphemed the head catholic, so therefore, to hell you go!!
P.S. My husband says he looks like Senator Palpatine and you know how that turned out. Yea, he's going to catholic hell, too. (I am just busting balls about the whole hell thing, there's no such thing.)

what exactly is the deal with the mayan calendar. i've always heard about this, but i know nothing about it. it seems like the one prophecy that nobody ever has the balls or the wherewithall to try and debunk

Peace might be restored by a piece of cosmic stone travelling tens of thousands of kilometers per hour. If mankind was wiped out by the apocalypse, there might finally be peace on earth. Or on whatever's left of earth.

I was totally looking for a reason to get a dog - awesome.

He might be kinda old by then, though. I'll have to take care of him. That totally changes the deal.
