Reply #3: Which makes you feel better, the bad news or the good news?

[No Elephants]

1. The bad news is that things were never that great to begin with.

2. The good news is that things haven't actually gotten as "worser" as some of us may have thought they had.


The end times religious folk who specialize in interpreting for us the prophesies of the biblical Book of Revelations about what the world will be like before Jesus returns say that the U.S. is actually Roman Empire to which the book of Revelations refers. Maybe they are right?

I believe we are coming close to the one world leader, another prophesy in Revelation. And, in the U.S. anyway, we are pretty much our Social Security numbers. We may not need them if we pay in cash, but I have to give at least the last four numbers even if to ask my cable company if service in my neighborhood has been disrupted.

Revelation 13:17 King James Version (KJV)

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
