Here's a site for all of you people that like to ponder on the end of it all, like me.
Exit Mundi My favorites are the slow and miserable ends, such as the Borg, the Big Expansion, and Climate Shift. Actually, now that I think about it, the Borg are pretty awesome. I could think of worse ends. |
end of the world
Ya, welcome to the real world man.
|
I'm not saying I'm surprised or even dissapointed I was simply stating a fact. I wasn't "living in a fantasy land" or anything I simply stated that a lot of people hide behind false pretenses and no matter what leads to the eventual end of it all, it will be "justified" somehow IF it's mankinds' fault.
BTW Noctuary... cool site! |
I think we will all die from starvation and hypotherma. I believe instead of the earth moving closer to the sun, earth will move farther away from it. Causing plants to be unable to survive, which in turn will starve animals to death in turn which will lead to humans having no food supply left. Worse than that though, all sources of water will freeze. Besides that the temperatures will drop so low at some point, that we will freeze to death instantly, if we haven't starved to death first.

This thread explores the possibilities of apocalypse...What different people think may happen in the end...The image I posted is an amalgamation of those thoughts... Consider the atomic blast, many people believe that nuclear war is what will ultimately be the end... However...The bible says that Jesus will return to claim those who are worthy of heaven when the end comes... If ya think about it...The picture seems to ask...What if both theories are correct?...Maybe this picture should simply be called "Bad Timing" I hope that didn't make it worse I seriously had no intention of making a religious statement of ANY sort...Just thought the picture was pretty cool... |
Holy shit! We really are gonna die!!!
I hope im 80 before the bombs are dropped.:( |

I like the idea of bad timing. It would be a laugh a minute for those of us who refuse to get involved in this whole Armegedon crap. No offense to those of you who do. Just don't ask me to be anyone's cheerleader. Oh, and Sabersword, you do realize that when you called me a "cool person" that you were speaking to a diabolical-new agey witchy type person? Here's my theory: Christians and Pagans should stop fighting and gang up on the Scientologists. We could get together and burn Tom Cruise at the stake. Also, I'm not worried about offending any Scientologists on this forum, because none of us, no matter how financially sound our economic skills are, seem truly wealthy enough to be Scientologists. If ever I lose sixty pounds a become a Scientologist (like some former Cheers star we know) one of you, S, Rayne, Cheeba, IA, Newb, etc. please come and shoot me in the face. |
The world will end in irony
All of the fat that people lose will come back in the form of huge animated piles of goo. It will be very angery begin eating people & getting bigger. Soon there will be no one left accept for lots & lots of empty clothes. Already if you listen the fat murmers to itself on the wind.. :p It's angery with all of us so put the cupcake down... Now!! :eek:
|
I saw that pic and didn't think anything religious was really insteaded, I don't see a bad view of it really. Jesus got blown up so his flesh melted but he couldn't be killed so he's just walking around (and apparently laughing)? Anyway, as far as zombies go, that would be the most fun for sure. What a battle we would have!
|
Oh, the zombies will come. It says so in the book of Romero, and is later reinforced in the book of Fulci. We can beg and plead and go door to door, warning the hethans who like different kinds of movies. We can give them pamphlets preaching of the cobalt blue steel of the 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. (S-Marts top of the line.) In the end, when we're mowing down the gut-gobling parasites in a blood splatter frenzy, they'll know they were wrong. Thus, they will be smitten with a mighty head chomp, and the gnashing of teeth upon their innards.

Our time zones are out of whack..as i would figure that right now...its 6.50 am nz time. (my opening arguement) The world is not going to end 'as widely suggested' ..only life thats in existence..not due to any heavenly creature..but by man himself. Man is his own nemisis and will eventually be the reason for his own demise. Every disaster that has happened to date is caused by mens thirst for knowledge and thier constant dig for answers to things they do not understand. Is there a god..??I do not know and in all honesty..there is not a soul out there who can say defiantly ..that there is. |
end of the world
Good start Stubborn. I will speak from a strict christan point of view. First things first; you say you do not know if there is a God or not, I applaud your honasty.I can assure you that there is. Look at it this way, nothing can come from nothing. If God did not exist, there could be nothing.I have been in this long enough to know why people are so resistant to God, sence I once was myself. I find people are not generly willing to be introspective and be honest about there own motives.We belive that our lives belong to ourselfs and we can do what we wish with them.Or, if we allow ourselfs to belive in a creator,that will interfear with our sexual morays,or some people are afrade of the judgment of a holy God. And they should.
|
No no! We can't discuss faith with the predetermined belief that we are right. If you do that, you don't ALLOW for discussion. If I were to be honest and argue from that perspective I'd say something like, "I believe in God; we just don't talk. I'm a Momma's girl. When I pray at night, I don't pray to the intermediate, I pray to his Boss, The Goddess."
However, I'm not debating from the perspective that I'm right. So, I'm not going to say that. Also, try to use your debate to educate not convert. Conversion discussions are tacky. |

For somebody religious to fall back on quotes from the bible or words that were supposedly spoken by the apostles..tells me that they cannot speak for themselves or do not know how to. In pointing out that we came from nothing and that we should be afraid of the creator is once again heading in the direction of how some religions misinterperate the meaning of life and as to how to became about. From what i hear preached on a daily basis is...god is love...god gave his only begotten son so that we could all survive..god is for everyone. And yet...(heres the contridiction).. religions also preach..if your bad..you will go to hell...if your weak...you will be left behind...if you don't beleive in god..you will again go straight to hell. If you do not follow the laws of the bible...you will go to hell also. So em asking you this.. Are these the words of god or are these the words of religion who interpreted what they believe had been written. ? |
end of the world
Stubborn, it goes like this. (my apologies to haunted) God,being perfect,ie sinless, is offended by sin. Sin is anything that goes agenst the nature of God. Now,as humans, in our fallen nature, we have no way to attone for those sins no matter what you do.In order to bring us back into union with God, there had to be a sacrafice,a perfect sacrafice and no one in this world can qualify as perfect, right? So god sent his son to die in our place and pay the price that we could not pay. There is only one thing one must to to be in union with God, belive that Christ is the son of God. I am sorry Haunted,if it were possible for me to relate this information any other way I would. You are a pagen? That ok, so was I at one time. Now, Stubborn, how do you fill the end will come?

You know, the whole idea behind transubstantiation is gross. Eat this wafer, piece of bread, etc it's the body of Jesus. No thanks. Haunted is not a cannibal. Here, girlie, drink this wine, grape juice, red cool-aide, etc; it's Jesus' blood. Not being a vampire, that just isn't appealing.
Look, it goes like THIS. Faith is something that is deeply personal. You can't look me in the eye and tell me that your way is totally the ONLY way. Why? Because ultimately, you have only faith. Faith ain't fact. We honestly just don't ultimately know for a 100% what's going down beyond the stratosphere. So where do we go from that? Experience. I dare you. I double dog dare you. I tripple dog dare you to tell me that your experiences as a Christian are more valid and more real than my experiences as a devotee of The Morrighan, Witchcraft, and all around spiritual life. Just recently I lay on a hospital bed with doctors telling me that I might not live through the night. Scared the shit out of me. However, I felt the presence of the Goddess. She never left my side. I spent that night in constant prayer to Her. Not only did I survive, but I suffered no organ damage. I came out of there as healthy as I did before I went in. Now, you're going to tell me that my experience wasn't real? What've you got to show for that? A book? More importantly, a book written by people? There are a lot of liturgical books out there, and most of them pre-date the Bible by a long shot. What makes them less valid? Those folks believe their books and doctrines were divine inspiration. Are you going to tell them that they're full of shit? What makes you so gd right? (I used the initials "gd" out of respect to you). Honey, unless you can come to terms with the fact you cannot say that your experiences are more valid than mine, all you're going to be doing is expressing your faith as I just did or being really out of touch with the world around you. Neither one of these are conducive for debating. |

all your doing is quoting a sermon. Em looking for a discussion on open mindness and acutal point of veiw. We can sit here all day and speak of 'god' and what he was supposedly had said or done. As my opening arguement stated.. I don't beleive the world is going to end..only life thats in existence on earth will. What we make of our lives NOW..is how we are deemed to either perish or survive. Not through the hand of a spiritual being..but by our own hands..(em not talking suicide). Example...because of mans almighty quest for improvement and technology.. and our main source of vanity..our ozone layer has all but (global warming) disappeared..which has caused the top of the world ..where ice had been frozen for millions of years ..to melt. Believe it or not..there is enough ice there to drown a better portion of the planet. The trees that we depend on for oxygen is being cut down to build expensive houses to once again .feed the greed of man. People have turned thier beliefs into things that are to be feared.. the muslims and thier 'god' who destroy those who do not beleive.. They are just an example of why i truly believe that 'god' doesnt exist..but men use the name to strike fear in the hearts of non believers as that is thier way of compensating for all the wrong they are doing and the killing of innocent ppl. We make our own heaven and hell by how we live ...in our own standards. |
There are good people who do good things and there are bad people who do bad things, but religion is the only way to get good people to do bad things (Im paraphrasing like a son o bitch cos cant fully remember this quote)
Anyway, all this will be irrelevant when a giant asteroid crashes into our beloved Earth and destroys all life in May 2102 |
end of the world
Hi Haunted. I have the odd feeling that you think I am attacking you personally. Let me assure you that I am not. Nor, am I making light of your faith. I get that a lot and I know how much that hurts. So, you would like some valid experience in my christian life? What would you except as valid? As far as transubstantiation goes, what can I say, it is what it is. I do however like the consept.Um, I am not trying to argue these points, just trying to say what I belive. I can only show you the changes that have happend in my life and what they mean to me.
|
Saber, you're not offending me at all. What I'm trying to do is to help you understand how to talk about your faith in a way that doesn't put people off. You've gotta learn to express yourself without trying to convince.
I realize that Christianity desires to spread "the good news." That's fine. However, there's totally a time and place for it. Horror.com is definitely not the place. I think that you understand that, but you can't express yourself without trying to witness. I used to have a difficult go at talking about my faith, even as a Pagan. By the time I graduated uni, I was expected to KNOW HOW. My professors drilled that into me, because I was somewhat militant. So, I'm just giving you a few pointers here and there. It's tough, but I think you're getting the swing of it. You don't have to validate your faith to me.:) Remember when Jesus was in the dessert and Satan was trying to get him to validate his faith? What did he say? "I will not test the Lord my God," I think it was. Same stands for me. I don't have to validate my faith. I know the Goddess is with me. It's all good. |
end of the world
Haunted, WHAT, you militant, say it isnt so! Ya, ok, I see your point. Now, we were going to debate;well lets pick a subject. Its a lot easer for me to focus on one subject at a time. You know us guys can not multi task.

i was reading 'the changes in my life'
Has it ever occured to you that the changes you have made in your life should have nothing to do with your religion.? All it takes is for somebody towake up one day and say ..enough is enough..I need to make some positive changes or else ..blah blah blah. To be told that only god can help you is wrong ..from my point of veiw..its up to the individual themselves..especially when it comes to an action on your behalf that affects those around you. Also ..to my knowledge..christians do not join horror forums as they depict or glamourise the existance of satan via zombie movies ..ghosts..etc. Just a thought. |

Hay stub, I dont know, Some people may be able to change things in there life by sheer will,and, as a wiccan, you should know all about will. (One of the first things I learnd about when I was in the oldest religion.) However, I see all thing in the will of God. As far as christians joining horror fourms, what can I say, unless you are unstable to begin with, I think it does no harm.
