BBC News - 'Rapture': Believers perplexed after prediction fails

BBC News - 'Rapture': Believers perplexed after prediction fails

True Faith is about Trusting in the Ultimate Purposes of Allah/God Almighty and not trying to force the hand of God. These Evangelicals are misguided in thinking that they 'know' things that other people do not. If they spent as much time on works of mercy and charity as they do on pointless speculation about the 'end of the world', they would be perhaps more pleasing to God. They could give Religion a bad name. I wish that all people of Religion would get on with trying to make the World a more holy place and leave its ending to Allah/God Almighty. He will end the world in his own way and in his own time. The timing is not our concern. It could be in the next ten Seconds or the next Billion Years, for all we know. What is our concern, is how we conduct ourselves during the time allotted to us !

'Stop the World, I want to get off' is not a sign of 'Faith'. It is a sign of an inability to accept the tasks put in front of us. It does not surprise me that America is rife with this false form of Religion but there are also people of Firm Faith who just get on with things as life goes on. They are the people of True Faith.
