I'd say the provenance of those beliefs is relevant, since it tells you what kind of rubes we're talking about. A 2000-year-old religion is one thing, even if its foundational beliefs are mythical. Some half-assed bullshit cobbbled together by a gaggle of late-19th-century and early-20th-century hucksters doesn't even have the excuse that at least they built a few cathedrals, wrote some good music and did some good paintings, along with all the life-denying superstition and oppression.
Was it news to you that religious nuts were kinda uneducated?
Regardless, I'm still asking about the content of the bullshit prophecy, not whether it's bullshit or not. Discussing it's actual merits or lack thereof seems like a waste of time to me. I mean, we're talking about a literal prophecy. Those generally aren't taken seriously by your average even halfway intelligent person.
