I would have dissected this thread here, but I thought(why bother)
I will say this, some say that prophecies arent real, without proof to back it up, others say they are real, with no logic behind their words. If your here to just down on others without offering a good debate, then why are you on this thread.?
The fact is, you nonbelievers tend to know less than these fanatics, you see a rocksoldi world around you, when science has already proven that this entire universe is anything but solid. you think you know what reality is, but you dont even know yourself, and you prove it on these threads and in everyday life, when you judge, when you lie, when you make assumptions. Truth is what is ACTUALLY there, not what you think is there. Just because you havent seen it doesnt make it unrealistic. Who made you the scientist. All science is best guess, and true scientists seek truth, they dont dismiss anything out of hand just because it sounds preposterous.
You say these silly things about your year 2000 end of the world cliche. That was no prophecy backed up by anyone credible.
Nostradomus predicted Hitler, and he happened. He said the Eagle and the Lion would unite in a terrible attack upon a moslim country, and they did. The symbol of america is the Eagle, the symbol of britain is the Lion.
He also predicted that in the turn of the millenium the "twin towers" would fall. What happened in 2000? The World Trade Center, both its largest towers that were exactly Identical to one another fell like trees under an army of lumberjacks.
Making assumptions about what you dont know or havent studied is not only ignorant, but foolish.
YOu say prophecies cant exist? Well let me open your mind a little.
The greeks, the Chinese and many other civilizations knew for a long time in things such as Chi, the Aura, or what the Hindus term Prana. Hindu Yogis wrote down the Meridian Pathways on the body for this Prana. If you compare this chart to western sciences Nerve Pathways, you will see an exact identical appearance.
It has been proven here in america and is now accepted that human have a BioField surrounding your body composed of many electromagnetic vibrations. This is what is called the Aura.
Now, in 1995 the United States Pentagon released information regarding Psychic research, admitting that they had a remote viewing program going on for quite some time now. Now your going to say that a man Can look at you and draw a picture of oyur girlfriend naked when hes never met nor seen you, is more than 2000 miles away, and will get her to the last detail, goverment training guaranteed, cannot possibly have a hope of seeing what tomorrow MIGHT POSSIBLY bring? Dont be silly. Be realistic.
The future is not set or certain, there is no such thing as ONE Fate. There are decisions and choices that lead to other decisions and choices, each one leading further and further down a path. The Bible speaks of Revelations about the End of this Era and the Beginning of the next, and explains how the wicked will be destroyed, but it doesnt say so and so, and so and so, are doomed to burn in the fire no matter what. The game will be set, how it ends will be up to you though.
You think your in control? Does turning on the light, Starting your car make you feel in control? Control is an illusion, and the only thing you CAN control is YOU. You may be able to turn on the light in your basement, but I can sneak in and turn it off, the electric company can remove your access to this powere or give it back, but if a meteorite falls out of the sky, they will be dead, and no one will have power in your area. You lock your doors at night, but if I really want in your house you cant stop me. You are only locking yourself in, because you think you are secure, you think having a fence and codeguarded gate around your neighborhood make you safe, when all you actually succeded in doing was cut off your escape routes to one way in, one way out.
Like I said, you may like to believe you have some semblance of control over your life, but you dont, you only can control you, as an absolute.
So quit trying to feel in control and hide behind your secureblanket of nonbelief, just because you dont want to believe that someday you will atone for your misdeeds doesnt mean you wont. Thats all your atheistic belief is, a running away from your conciousness so you can do what you want while your mind is trapped in your idea of reality. You want to hide in your bubbles, when all the universe has to do is breath and you will be taken wherever it wants to take you, without your, consent, or with even a consideration to your best interests.
Its people like you who cannot see what IS, that are the reason there is such violence and destruction in the world. You want to believe your view is right, and these people should be removed cause they "must" be wrong. You say there is the same amount of destruction and death today as a thousand years ago. A thousand years ago they hardly had the concept of burning pitch to throw down their castle walls. Now they have weapons that could wipe your entire province clean of live for more than a thousand years by just pushing a button and laughing as the survivors choke on the fallout.
This world isnt the same as it was, its getting worse, and its going to continue so long as people like you make the decision to not believe in anything so that you dont have to feel guilty for your actions or think about them as you commit them.
You and the rest of these politicians who only care about their wallets being full and keeping a smile for the public while stuffing a snake in their pocket, are bringing this world to a path of self destruction through our own ignorance.
Man, your like the thousandth person I have explained this to, and as usual you wont listen, because your afraid, your afraid of the truth. Life isnt what you think it is, its not base to the rules most scientists like to aquaint with their idea of reality. A thousand years ago you went to Egypt and told them about snow you would be called mad, stupid or just plain ignorant, so remember just because you havent contemplated yourself and your own life, and seen the truth, doesnt mean its not right there in front of you
