Every now and then I hear about another Doomsday Cult, predicting the end of the world. I always wonder, when I hear about them, if their leader might be right! But, the predicted doomsday date comes and goes, and we are all still here. I expect one day there really WILL be a doomsday, but I think it will be caused by a nuclear weapons or chemical weapons act of war.
The most recent doomsday cult I’ve heard about is a Russian cult that believed that the world was coming to an end this month, and they were hiding in a cave. I guess they thought that by hiding in a cave they would survive the apocalypse. They threatened mass suicide if authorities tried to forcibly remove them from the cave. Eventually two women in the group died, and the stench of their rotting corpses is what finally drove the group out of the cave. I read that their group leader has tried to commit suicide because he was upset that the world did NOT end when he predicted it to end. Authorities have diagnosed him with schizophrenia. So I guess the voices in his head made him think that he could predict doomsday.
Well, I think that the world is in a lot of trouble, but I’m glad doomsday hasn’t happened yet!
