Food for Thought: Our World

[MileHigh]

SeaMonkey:

You are a grotesque sick individual.  There is always the option to ignore your crap and let it slip off the main page and let it sink into obscurity but sometimes you just make me so sick and revolted that I have to respond.

When the fires of hell bring on the "end of the world" I hope that you are first person that becomes burnt toast.  Alternatively, if you die a natural death in 30 or 40 years from now you can reflect on your 50+ years of being a completely insane jackass standing out on your virtual street corner preaching the end of the world.

Miles,
You do ask good questions and make good points
about the so-called End of the World.  The Book
tells us that no knows when it will be.  Not only that,
it tells us that none will know until it actually comes
to pass.  Trying to set a date for the event is futile.

We're given a general idea of the time-frame by
certain world conditions and events which will
transpire prior to the End of the Age.

The World itself (Planet Earth that is) will not come
to an end or cease to exist - what comes to an end
is the age of badness and those who are responsible
for ruining the Earth and most of the world's population.

According to the signs delineated in The Book we are
getting closer to that time.  World conditions politically
are getting weird and crazy.

No NickZ, put your brain in gear.  That was satire.  I mean exactly the opposite of what I said in my posting to you.

It's you that has the problem.  You are endorsing SeaMonkey's comments and his comments are sinister and creepy and ugly and evil.  By supporting his comments, you adopt an idealogical position that is similar to a fascist position that would advocate killing people trying to cross the border.  You know, like what they did at the Berlin Wall?  Also, his "end of the world is coming" comments are simply crazy.  Do you believe in the "grand battle" and the "ultimate struggle between good and evil" and the "millions that will have to die?"

I don't care if you believe in his nutcase "end of the world" stuff.  But if you believe in the other disgusting stuff then shame on you.  Those creepy racist "word Jewish conspiracy" comments do not belong on this web site and same on you if you believe them.  If you believe in the "big war with the Evil Cabal vs. the "Good People" and the coming "end of the world" well that is just plain nuts.

I hope that you understand my point now.
