Its been several weeks. Judging from the clamor and madness on facebook, there should be tens of thousands of deaths due to Ebola. I even saw articles from people I respect and admire comparing it to biblical plagues. So there should be millions of people dead, and falling to their knees in repentance. Whether its the rapture, plagues, or the complete collapse of the economy, doomsday prophets contribute nothing useful whatsoever to the conversation, and will not have my respect or support. The bible itself says God has not given us the spirit of fear, but I watch people doing their best to instill fear in others, using the name of God as the crutch which all their arguments rest on. God doesnt ask that we decry plagues, but that we heal. God does not ask that we preach starvation, but that we feed the hungry.
