The little memorial affirmation of faith - “Christ has died. Then, in the other corner, there are sensationalists, who use the “End Times” like stolen Bitcoins for buying publicity to convert their obscurity into spectacle. Atwood’s novel, this que sera, sera attitude is part of Peter’s warning to the Church: "Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires” ( 2 Peter 3:3 NIV).
