"Have you read the book of revelations lately?"

So I was perusing facebook and a "friend" had the following status:

"Obama effectively fired Rick Wagoner today (CEO of GM). Does that mean the government now controls what was once (and techniquely is) a private sector business? Suprise. Mussolini would be proud."

Personally I think that if you want the government to stay out of your business you shouldn't take billions of dollars from the government. DUH!

I wasn't about to get into that on facebook though. So someone else came along and said:

"Is this true [insert name]? Because if it is, wow. Obama needs to stay out of the private sector. And this would also mean that he could do this with any company that he doesnt think is doing what he wants... right? Wow, oh hey have you read the book of revelations recently? Only because i have heard rumors of alot of countries wanting to do a world wide currency. Have you heard anything about that?"

First of all: Is that true?!?! Read a newspaper. Even I had already heard of this! ME, who avoids the news like it's smallpox.
Second: It's the Book of Revelation. No "s" Grrrr.
Third: Why is everyone freaking out over the end of days? You believe the Bible but thought that this would never come? Why are you trying to stop something you think is inevitable? So confusing...
