Where will you go?

This morning several of the ladies I work with were talking about how the moon looked last night. Just for background, tonight December 12th, the moon will be the closest to the Earth it has been all year. Last night it was pretty close so it lent to some spectacular sky views.
However, the people I work with are VERY religious. So the sight of the strange sky scared them.
Scared them???
Their conversation this morning made me think, "This is why humans for hundreds of years believed there were entities that lorded over the lightening and storms." All they talked about was how they thought it was the end of the world.
The end of the world???
Why on Earth would a natural event that actually takes place every year be something to fear and believe is a foreshadow of the end of the Earth?
I dunno. I normally try to leave people and their religious beliefs alone, but when you revert to a primitive, just out of the cave personality it really irks me. Gets my dander up.
Come on people! Try opening a book every once in a while. Try asking questions rather than immediately diverting to religion.
Even God (if it actually exists) has made the world, it made the world in a completely natural and logical way so all that takes place even IF it were a sign would still be a natural wonder.
So come on, wake the heck up and take the damn blinders off people.
Live, learn, be.
