I am betting that only a few will bite on this prediction.

Jesus is not coming, and neither is Quetzalcoatl. There will be no Armageddon. Armies don't fight wars like that anymore.

The problem here is that the preacher cannot very well say, "borrow money on your credit cards and render it unto me" without the congregation doubting in the End of the World.

If you really believe, then you are running up debts to no advantage,as the end is coming soon.

I remember 1999 and alot of folks wanted to end to come so they don`t have to pay their bills. some folks encouraged card use since everyone believe the collapse will come

Notice that it didn't.

People who have bet that the world will end have a 0% accuracy rating ever since the beginning of history.
