Why do people believe the end of the world is near
_ShAnE_StArK_ 2016/01/09 05:29
People who believe in religions , like me, have
a reason to believe that the world will end
one day, apparently because their religious
scriptures tell them so but why would some
people all of a sudden claim that the world
will end on a certain date or time?
Why would someone commit suicide in order
to avoid the end of the world?
Why would someone give all of his money to
charity only to discover that the world wont
end now?
Every now and then some people start to
claim that the world will end on a certain
date then attract a large number of
supporters who start doing all kind of
extreme behavior just because of believing
that end is near.
Yesterday i came across a site that said that
the world is going to end in 8 days. The site
was a commercial one and it was Selling
survival kits, rations and all kinds of goods
that a person might need when the world
ends!
The first question that came to my mind was,
what on earth is the site owner going to do
with the money if the world was really going
to end according to his beliefs ? Friends please give your opinions...
