I wouldn't say that, I try and always have 3 months supply of food on hand in case something happens, even just a temporary job loss, in fact the idea of having less than a full months supply of food on hand seems terrifying to me, as evidenced all you need is one bad winter storm and your looking at starvation.
In fact the church I belong to encourages members to have 1-6 months supply of food on hand in case of emergencies and it would be something I'd recommend everyone do. It gives you substantial peace of mind.

- kneebonian 4y agoI mean the Church I belong to says nothing about the end times but rather encourages it as a matter of self-reliance with the idea being you need to be in a stable place in order to help and lift others, nothing about the end times. EDIT: I should clarify the Church I belong to doesn't encourage having a supply of food because of end times although it does accept the doctrine of Eschatology.

- ArmandTanzarian 4y agoI would encourage Eschaton to re-read the words they typed and consider the irony. "F your peace of mind. It is a narrow banded one." I am not religious, but your hostility smacks of the "narrow bandedness" your post is so quick to call out.
