I’ve been joking about the Robot Apocalypse here, but I have a quick question.
For a long time, I’ve been smugly confident, based largely on my Christianity, that an apocalypse won’t happen until The Apocalypse.
But I’ve been thinking about the Fall of Rome, and I’m just wondering … is there any reason for a Christian to be cheerfully confident that there won’t be a major, climactic disaster (such as a new Ice Age or, heck, a Robot Apocalypse) that wipes out huge numbers of people? Isn’t it possible that could happen, and the world could go on for another couple thousand years, and then The End would come?
I mean, I’m just saying. It happened before, in the Dark Ages. Why do I have this vague assumption that it can’t happen again?

With all these zombie apocalypse movies, tv shows, video games, etc. it seems that the world over will be crestfallen if the world as we know it ends in any other way than by zombies. Call me a coward, but I’ll just hide in the comfort of the majority in my apocalyptic predictions. Earthquake? Not here. Economic/political collapse? Borrrrring. Zombies?! Get my shotgun!
Haha, I like the idea of a disappointed humanity at the end of the world. “Aww, man … a world war? Seriously? Where are the zombies?”
