So, doomsday. The end of life as we know it. We all know that there have been countless doomsday scenarios, theories, fears, and predictions. In fact, many still believe that there will be a doomsday this year in December. This topic itself isn't necessarily religious in nature, however, the article I'm basing it off of is a religiously based one that I thought we could discuss.
The article is: Doomsday - Fact, Fiction, and Fantasy (it's a PDF for now. It's not long, give it a read.)
It discusses 'The Fascination With Doomsday' and all that comes with it. It briefly brings out the movies, books, TV shows, comics, theories, etc. about Doomsday in addition to citing some scientific comments on the issue at hand.
In addition, it lists some of the different 'Doomsday Fears [That] Loom Large' such as:
Each of these are briefly discussed with the fact, fiction, and fantasy behind them.
Then of course it gets into the Biblical side of things and how 'Doomsday May Not Be What You Think.' This section discusses the following:
These are answered with Bible scriptures.
The article isn't long. It only took me maybe 10 minutes to read (probably less, I wasn't really paying attention to the time). I suggest anyone interested in the topic read the article. You do not have to agree with it, but at the very least it's a good and informative read.
So, here's the topic for discussion:
Considering all of the above and the contents of the article, how do you personally feel about "Doomsday" scenarios?
Do you have a religious belief that touches on the subject whether or not there will be a doomsday type of event? If you are a Christian, do you agree with the Biblical parts of the article?
As is common on KHI: If you do not have religious beliefs, what are you feelings towards the doomsday scenarios in the article?
So, discuss all things, etc. etc. etc. Hope this goes somewhere.

Here's a link that you can read the article without having to download it. The Fascination With Doomsday
