I agree with Sister Azizi. The whole conversation strikes me as a silly exercise in doomsday prophecy. I'm almost 70 years old and I can't tell you how many times I have been told of current events being prophetic of the "End times". The goal posts are moved as needed.

"Farah" is big on scenario but tiny on source. It strikes me as something he (and others) has dreamed up and fleshed out to fit pre-existing agendas. In other words, he has "fixed the intelligence". (Where have I heard that before?)

Russians 'burying' nuclear weapons on US soil is one of those luscious bits of fantasy, imo. Obviously no one wants a nuclear holocaust and it is quite possible that it will occur. It is why the entire Cold War existed. I think, however, that formulating a scenario and passing it off as hard information from 'sources we can't name" is less than credible.

One very strange thing I have noticed many times is that "Christians" seem strangely afraid of death, as though we might be able to avoid dying IF we just do thus and so. Face it, Tarheel- the time will come when you WILL die- and each one of the rest of us too.
