In the last week or so, thousands of birds have suddenly died in huge quantities in different parts of the country leading the more imaginative/paranoid segment of the population to fear that the occurrences are a sign of a Biblical apocalypse or “End of Days”. Last night, on Anderson 360, actor Kirk Cameron (who we may remember as a child star on Growing Pains but now devotes his life to extreme religious teachings and has starred in Biblical “End of Days” films) chimed in and offer his $0.02 on the matter of all these dead birds. Thank goodness Anderson managed to find an expert!
After thousands of birds mysteriously fell out of the sky in Arkansas on New Year’s Eve, it was only natural that Anderson Cooper turned to an expert for an explanation. Enter Kirk Cameron. The former “Growing Pains” star — a born-again Christian who has appeared in movies based on the end-of-days-themed “Left Behind” books — appeared on “Anderson Cooper 360″ to discuss whether he thought the dead birds were a sign of the apocalypse. “Well, I first think that they ought to call a veterinarian, not me. You know, I’m not the religious-conspiracy-theorist go-to guy, particularly,” Cameron said. “But I think it’s really kind of silly to try to equate birds falling out of the sky with some kind of an end-times theory.” Chalk it up to the public’s fascination with doomsday predictions. “People love to find codes and signs of future events and see if they can decipher them before anybody else,” the 40-year-old actor told Cooper. “But birds falling from the sky? That has to do more with pagan mythology; the direction that the birds flew told some of the followers of some of those legends that the gods were either pleased or displeased with them.”
Despite the fact that Cameron does not believe that dead birds are a sign of the apocalypse, he is still not happy with the way our country is going. According to him, the state of US affairs is so bad the actual “End of Days” may not be too far in the future:
Meanwhile, the father of six says he’s displeased with the state of our country. “If America is a ship, it looks a lot like it’s sinking — financially, morally, spiritually. It’s frightening,” he says.
Thanks goodness that settles that! I can now sleep soundly knowing that according to Kirk Cameron, things will be all right … well, for now.
