Some apocalypse believers may be spending the end of the world in a Chinese prison.
More than 100 members of the "Almighty God" Christian cult in China have been busted for warning and harassing people about the impending doom the Mayans predicted for the world on Dec. 21, 2012, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.


“They are telling everyone that on Friday the sun will rise in the west and then disappear for three days and then there will be 72 days of terrible natural disasters starting from January 1 2013,” a former cult member who did not want to be identified told the Financial Times. “They’ve also told all members to withdraw their money from the bank in preparation for the end of the world."

Kind of shows how well Christianity really is being accepted in China, in spite of what the fundies are saying.
