People love THE APOCALYPSE because your credit card debt goes away and you don't have to show up at your boring-azz job on Monday.
This is why I love zombies. When the Zombie Outbreak occurs my big investment in firearms pays off. I get to take over Brad Pitt's house and inherit his motorcycles. The number of stupid people I'm forced to deal with everyday is reduced by 99%.
Other versions:
Warrior Jesus: Yeshua returns and puts the smack-down on evil perverts and atheists. The Ignorant rot in fiery Hell. The Enlightened go to Heaven. Could happen any minute.
Global Warming / Peak Oil: Evil polluters and fat suburbanites suffer starvation. The Enlightened assume pastoral existence in harmony with Mother Nature and barter handicrafts just like at Renaissance Faire. Student loans and mean ol' 'conservatives' go away. Is Happening Now.
2012: Features the "authenticity" of Native American "wisdom" because it's non-Christian and non-European. It's vague enough to mold into whatever you want. Unappreciated 'Cultural Creatives' get rewarded, while evil financial bullies and polluters get the smack-down. You get to enjoy psychedelic drugs if you want! December 21st, 2012
Financial Collapse: Lazy welfare cheats and fascist corporations starve. Frugal folk who eat at home, repair their own cars, and wear unfashionable clothes get to shoot the Grasshoppers who didn't prepare. Could happen any day.
