I've been watching these shows on the History Channel for like 2 hours. Some are claiming that Nostradomus is/was the "prophet" and "predicted" so many different events, like 9/11 and the Iraq war, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the attempts at assisination of the Pope, the rise of Hitler, the assassination of JFK, the bombing of Hiroshima etc....and that his prediction of the "end of the world" should be taken seriously.

Some are claiming its all bullshit.

I lean more toward bullshit.

What are ur thoughts?

When did he claim would be the end of the world??

Personally, Im not worried too much about it. My life could easily end any single day, whether someone predicts it or not. And as a Christian believer, I personally feel like im covered either way :)

I honestly don't know much about Nostradamus.... but all that conspiracy theory crap.... I think it's really easy for people to find meaning in things to back up their ideas when they want to.

Like if you fold a dollar bill some weird way and it looks like the twin towers on fire.

Guess what? If you fold it another way, George Washington's head looks like a PENIS.

Take THAT, conspiracy theorists.... :rofl

I was just thinking this exact same analogy (the dollar bill folding) as I read the OP's post. Awesome post! If you torture something long enough, be it books or even people, you'll get whatever you want out of it.

Ok, I haven't done this since like... 5th grade. It actually looks more like a mushroom now that I look at it. But for immaturity's sake, we'll say it's just a really funny-looking penis.

Step one: Dollar bill (only one in my wallet, lol)

Step two: George Washington's Penishead.

I think there's alot to be said for hindsight interpretation. If you take some of the things he said and twist them around enough, you can come up with current (and not so current) events. Vagueness was Nostradamus' friend.

Apprently it is supposed to happen when the Earth and Sun align with the Center of the Universe which happens every 13,000 years so it puts the end of our world around 2012!!! Geez...on 4 more years to live....what should I get done before then :dunno

I think it is interesting how some of his predictions are simiular to what has happened, but as for us all being wiped out in 4 years :suspect :dunno

I agree with this.
I don't put much stock into Nostradamu and I just don't pay attention to it.

It seems eerie to me, and it is scarry when you think about it... I didn't go to the link but I might have watched the show a long time ago...doesn't it say in 2012 the world will end or something like that? You can look back over history and look at things people (scientists & whatnot) have predicted and alot of it was just speculation. Personally I think (because of my beliefs) that when the holy land (israel) is destroyed (bombed--blown off the face of the earty--whatever) that the world will end. But that's just me...

He is full of shit.

As according to the Bible, Fortune telling is a gateway to the devil. If God wanted us to know our future, he will let us see it when it's deamed fit.
