Didnt people think the world was going to end on 9-9-99? or Y2k? the only thing that happend was my uncles old computer went back to 1970 for some reason, and some guy got like a million bucks in his bank account by mistake for some reason. Nothing happened, planes didnt fall from the sky, trains didnt smash into each other, nuclear powerplants didnt meltdown. penguins didnt start flying..... Nothing happened. They are just dates on a calendar.
Religious robots, will find new reasons to scare each other and the rest of you into thinking that something bad is going to happen, and you need jebus in your life. Wich you dont. The earth as we know it has been pretty stable for thousands of years, and what its all of a sudden going to just fall apart? You cant predict that.
Look at the asteroid that almost smashed into us last week, sure it was only 23ft in diameter, but they only found out about it 15 hours before it wizzed past us. And it came within 8,700 miles. What the hell could we have done, absolutly nothing but just sit there on your lawnchair, drink a cold one, and fire your AK at it as it enters the atmosphere and redecorates the planet.
point of the story is, live your life, not religion.
