America in 'huge trouble,' says nuclear expert

93. Prophecies are nonsense. That is my opinion.

Apologies if you find the term 'woo' to be hurtful, but my comment was not about those cultures or their beliefs in particular.

If you'll notice, what I actually said was that discussing serious issues and tying those issues to prophecy nonsense is counterproductive. Most who care about the issue will tune out in favor of less nonsensical discussion. Those who prefer not to think about it too much to begin with will likely find such nonsense a convenient out, enabling them to comfort themselves that there's no need for them to think about it, because of the appearance of such information coming from people who believe in prophecies.

The only exception seems to be the Abrahamic prophecies. Those are very popular with lots of people and while such associations would still drive away critical thinkers, it would be a draw for plenty of others.
