We are very close to the end of time as the WEF had a witch doctor perform his magic rites on stage with members of the WEF. Evil is coming right out in the open.

Psssst….

There are other religions in the world.

This was Chief Putanny from the Yawanawa tribe of Brazil. Many indigenous leaders were invited.

I don't think "Witch doctor" is the correct term. That's more of an african thing, and usually done by men. Also, being a witch doctor is less about "casting spells" and more about telling people that the source of their woes are witches and that you can protect them from those witches.

"Shaman" would be more fitting, I think. I'm sure there's a correct term in their language.

I've watched a video of the proceedings. Looks just as nonsensical as this kind of behaviour:

This isn't a Christian area of the forum.
MForbes is christian, though. At least judging by his profile.

People have been practicing religions other than yours openly for quite some time.

This is the secular world. We are to harvest from this group for the Kingdom of God. This is His command to spread the "Good News" to all the world then, the "end" will come. We have much more work to do.

I keep hearing that the End is Nigh. This is about the least convincing evidence for it I have encountered. Just a bloke in fancy dress, rather like a priest, in fact. Give him the respect he is due, I say - some, but not too much. He certainly does not conjure up the end of days for me.

End time? It is relative. Ask a scientist.

What do scientists know of of the supernatural?

I think they know more about the belief in the supernatural than some believers in the supernatural apparently know about science.

Removed the rest of the quote as I only wanted to concentrate on this part. Depending on who you ask, someone has been claiming that for nearly 2000 years.

Longer, probably. Pretty much all cultures have in common that the past used to be grander and that the end is nigh.

That's easy for you to say haha. I had to read it a couple times to get it. It's all good. It's a relaxing Sunday and I have plenty of time. I recall the old Thomas Dolby song "She blinded me with science". :musickeyboard::musicnotes::musickeyboard::musicnotes:

They think they know about the belief in the supernatural. Once read a report on a paper that had me convinced the locals were pulling the anthropologist's leg. IIRC, Carl Sagan once said that if an adult came up to him and asked where babies come from, he'd be tempted to tell them the stork.
