bible obsession the end of time or end days, and some people look forward to it, but only when things like this happen, we say they have mental issues, but it's ok to believe in adam and eve, noahs ark etc.

given that the end of days in Holland may well involve the dikes failing and the waters prevailing exceedingly upon the earth, and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, being covered, a cellar is not the best place to hide. They'd have been better building some kind of boat, possibly out of gopher wood.

jno, but god would put up an invisible wall or bubble, then they could float to paradise, leaving all the unbelievers here to perish.

Is he? If so these Austrians have a weird propensity to keep people capture in basements it seems. Remember Josef Fritzil ?

Of Course we all might know who was born in Austria don't we?
Lest we forget.
