There used to be a hype with regards to the 2012 apocalypse prophecy (along with its variations). Right now there are many websites that are dedicated to this absurd belief, which really is just a waste of resources.
It is very hard for me to tolerate this irrationality reflected among many people. Whether it be a biblical prophecy or any other kind of medieval thinking, fantasy is fantasy, a myth is a myth. For people to actually believe, or regard something like a prophecy as trivial, is unacceptable. After hearing all these nonsense, one could not help but ask: What kind of education are we receiving?
This phenomenon seems to indicate that there is a need for our schools (all kinds of schools, including religious schools) to set up a mandatory subject – critical thinking. We now live in the 21st century, all outdated ideas (possibly debunked) belong to history, or literature. I hope for the day to come wherein myths and fantasies would be appreciated by people as a form of entertainment, nothing more.
