Solar Eclipse on July22nd, a bad omen?

Question by Sarahs_Imagination.: Solar Eclipse on July22nd, a bad omen?
I don't know if anyone heard but, the news media is freaking out about a solar eclipse thats expected to happen this Wednesday on July 22nd. Apparently earths moon will stand between the earth and the sun and as a result, completely blocking the sun out. A lot of people with spiritual and religious backgrounds are saying that its a bad omen that will bring violence and turmoil across the world.

What do you think about this? I think it's just a natural event and I'm not really worried about the earth in general but, how people will react and sometimes people can get out of control with paranoia and thats what makes something like this dangerous.

Heres some sites I found the news on :

What I found to be interesting is India's spiritual point of view on the solar eclipse. In Hindu mythology there are two demons that make food and water toxic during the eclipse. I searched the internet and came upon something that could support this mythology as a fact. "The Great Blob of Alaska" there is a repot of a great black blob of black toxic algae floating from Alaska and closer towards the United States. Right now commercial fishermen are not allowed to fish near the algae because this particular type of algae is very toxic and kills crustaceans and fish. This could be an early sign of what is yet to come or it could just be an effect of global warming.

why would this solar eclipse be any different over the other solar eclipses that have happened over billions of years? In the Hindu spiritual point of view, this particular eclipse may cause turmoil and chaos on earth. I am not very familiar with the Hindu spiritual point of view on the solar eclipse but, I have found evidence that some of the mythology could be fact. To support my opinion that the mythology could be fact I bring up the article found on cnn.com about the black toxic algae found in Alaska that i killing fish and crustaceans therefore, making food not edible. This blob of black toxic algae is moving closer to other bordering states and will continue to cause fish and crustaceans to be not edible. Within a matter of 2 days which lands on the exact day of the solar eclipse, this blob of algae will have already spread across the bordering states and if anyone attempted to eat fish or crustaceans from the area that the toxic algae contaminated, those people would become ill
