The end of the world

[Zenith]

Makes you wonder really, do these nut cases have jobs? Seems they spend way too much time worrying about the end and trying to 'save lives' sorta speak, than actually living a life.

I believe their job is to do these things: it earns them money. Consider, you have to work to earn money. But the clergy (pastors, priests, imams, whatever) has the job (paid by the state) to do some political stuff, organize things, etc. and imagine scenarios and theories to feed the people with. It's the pastor/priest's job (really, it's a job) to tell people what to believe. And the money comes from the state :). Isn't that 'nice'? :))
