[Risdon H.]

It seems to me that there are several reasons for such paranoia. Fundamentalists have been looking for the end for the past several hundred years. New demoninations have been based on the end being near. There is some ignorance involved here. Many actually think that it has been 2000 years since the birth of Christ and have plotted the history of the world as they understand it by 1000 year periods. They do not seem to know that Dennis the Little made a four-year error when he split the calandar into B.C. and A.D. and that the 2000 years since the birth of Jesus passed four years ago. They also don’t seem to understand the the entire calandar system is a human not divine creation and the the Gregorian calendar, for example, was only accepted for use in the United States in the late 1700s. The entire fundamentalist concept of prediction of the end time is in error. However, their books were bestsellers in ’99. People love to be frightened for some reason.
