This can only be worrisome if you still believe in the Bible as the inspired word of 'god'.

I don't.

So whether they fit into that self fulfilling prophecy (which is all I think it can ever be) is of no consequence to me.

On a side note.........I HAVE thought of that one when applying the biblical concept. They would certainly fit the bill quite nicely image
