reflecting on my stab at the roman calendar in my post yesterday, i could not help to really think about what a mess religion has become in today's world. if yeshua (jesus) were here today to see the madness attached to his name (especially the overt commercialism of "christmas" and the new year holidays), he would probably be ashamed of this world. it is no wonder that there is great fear amongst religious-types that if the prophecies in the books of revelation were to indeed be fulfilled with the second coming of the messiah, it truly would mark the end of the world. why? he'd be coming into the all-time greatest let-down. not only did you mess up his name and misinterpreted his words/beliefs, you got his birthday all wrong too. what a party poop and a buzz-kill that is!
