A most excellent pushing of the goal post, I must say. I saw recently in a thrift store a book a describing how it was all going to go down in the 1980's. Later everyone was sure it was going to be 2000 was Armageddon day. Then 2012, and now 2021. Heckles cakes, they thought the world was going to end in 1000 A.D. at one point, and there was certainly earlier times set for the Big One. Like the idea of the early followers of the Way that the reappearance of their founder/deity would be before the death of one of his chief followers. Alas, no show. I was raised on this kahooie, and frankly I am sick of it. I would stay awake at night terrified that tonight would be the Night. I lost more sleep over that then all the scary movies I ever saw. I still have near panic attacks about it occasionally. So frankly, I have little patients with this drivel.
Good day to you sir.
