Eat, drink, and be worried …

… Bryan Appleyard — After the End. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)



I wonder if apocalypticism would be as popular if more people knew that the apocalypse means revelation and that the book so-called that concludes the Bible has, in fact, a happy ending  — a new heaven and new earth. Interesting, though, how what absorbs the human imagination is the destruction of this world that Revelation foretells.
