Many/most religions claiming Christianity are teaching it's the Biblical end time. Some say there are events already happening presently to that end. That means (as I take it) the end time is under way. If so, all governments should crash and burn within the next year or two. What excuse will they have about 2 to 3 years from now when they find they're wrong. I say everyone of them is wrong.
The only thing possible the world needs saving from are the ones running it.
Oh lord, save us from those wanting to save us.
I'm not a Theist.

I think that it is the Pentecostals that are so certain of the end times. They truly believe in the rapture event that may arrive at any time now. Of course there are some other groups who are true believers, certain of eminent arrival of the end times by other means. 

What the hell!  Maybe global warming, and the influence it has on our atmospheric condition is the beginning of the end times. As soon as our potable water is gone, we are all doomed.

Let us hope that we HAFers shall unite in hell.   :beer:

In biblical terms they have it correct except the time.

In Biblical terms, Jesus was a man.

Or lairs. Mohammed was far from insane. He was a cold hard calculating manipulative man who mugged his fellow Arabs. Joseph Smith did the same thing with Mormonism and he was a convicted conman.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Having never met a prophet or come into possession of a psychiatric evaluation of one, I couldn't comment on their sanity one way or the other.

What I can say about them, however, is that I suspect at least some actually believe what they are selling. Others... Recognise charisma as a useful tool of manipulation. Some of those really let the thing run wild on them, ending up with stuff like cult massacres.
