Description

For centuries, religious leaders have predicted the exact date the world would end. Every single one of them was wrong. From William Miller's Great Disappointment to Harold Camping's billion-dollar rapture campaign to the Heaven's Gate tragedy, this video breaks down the 200+ year pattern of failed doomsday prophecies, the psychology of why believers double down after failure, and why fear has always been the most profitable product religion sells. #Doomsday #Prophecy #Atheism #Religion #CriticalThinking #Philosophy #Theology #Cults #EndTimes #Skepticism
