Mike Scheduled for Coast to Coast AM: Discussing Prophecy (Really)

| December 14, 2012

The anomalous nature of me being on Coast to Coast AM discussing this topic will make sense once you hear the date. I’ve blogged here in the past (at length) about how an obsession with prophecy is a waste of time — and I stand by that. So who better to discuss apocalypticism and popular [...]
