The End is Near

The World is going to end.

Doomsday: Sometime in May of 2008. . . . . . just thought you’d like to know.

Since Autumn of last year “True Russian Orthodox Church” decided the world was coming to an end and in “True” apocalyptic fashion, crawled into a hole in the ground. All 35 of them - including 4 kids and an infant - crawled into some kind of underground bunker and refused to come out - about 400 miles southeast of Moscow. As an added bonus, they are threatening to blow themselves up if anyone tries to bring them out.

Sect Waiting Out Doomsday in Penza Cave



More of our news anchors should do the news while climbing a mountain. The news seems more important when you’re out of breath.

If the world is going to end, why take precautions to survive the catastrophe? And why would God care if you are devout in your faith during the final moments of your life? In truth the “True Russian Orthodox Chruch” is horrified to receive a tax I.D. number supplied by the Russian government. Come to think of it, I’m not to fond of my tax I.D. number and Innerspace Caverns are looking good.

I can’t help but wonder what must be going thru their minds when the world doesn’t end. Your faith can’t possibly be wrong, can it?

And that’s the problem with unquestioned faith. Once you heavily invest yourself into a doctrine there’s no turning back without coming to grips with the fallacy of the time spent. I often equate it with families of dead servicemen. How can you tell the mother of a fallen soldier that the Iraq war was a mistake? How can she accept that her son died for nothing more than a politician’s whim? Too much was invested.

Whenever I think of a doomsday cult I always think of “Will this Wind. . .?”



Will this wind be so mighty as to lay low the mountains of the Earth?

Answer: No.
