Just doing some thinking about this, and for me it's hard to understand why a religion or cult predicting the end of the world would gain followers. I mean, to me, if someone new predicts a particular date for the rapture or Armageddon, I just think "what a bunch of loons" and go on with my life. Even when I was religious I felt this way. But for some reason end-of-the-world predictions and ideas gain a lot of followers. I guess there are a lot of people out there with totally crappy lives who love the idea of everything ending and going off to "a better place." My question is how many Great Disappointments can someone go through?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
