The world is not going to go to hell (unless, like that woman quoted  
above, you think it already will). The world did not go to hell when  
they stopped discriminating against Jews, it did not go to hell when  
slavery was abolished, it did not go to hell when they integrated Major  
League Baseball, it did not go to hell when they integrated the armed  
forces, it did not go to hell after Brown vs the Board of Education, it  
did not go to hell after the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960s, it did not  
go to hell after the women�s liberation movement of the 1970s, it did  
not go to hell when we had vastly increased immigration (legal and  
illegal) to the US, it did not go to hell when they let women into the  
military academies, and it did not go to hell when the Supreme Court  
invalidated laws against racially mixed marriages (and the same kind of  
people who are predicting it will go to hell now were predicting it  
would go to hell after each and every one of those past events - not  
much of a track record on being right with their predictions, huh?),  
and it�s not going to go to hell now. Frankly, I wish the people who  
make these predictions would look back on their dismal record of  
inaccuracy (0%) and make the logical deduction. I�m not holding my  
breath.
