Well seeing how the world lost its values, do you want it to happen?

that depends. do i get to play the fiddle while everything burns?

Why isn't there an additional answer instead of just yes and no. Why not one that says "I don't think it will ever happen."

But did we ever really have values as a collective whole?

Of course I do. What good is a world that has so much to offer? Let's just welcome the Apocolyps and all die horrible deaths and be done with it.

what an absurd poll

The question is whether or not you want it to happen.

Let's get it over with.

Let's face it folks.

Science can't solve the worlds problems.

Faith can't solve the worlds problems

So what's the point of continuing?

Compare life now to about 10 years ago... Big change isnt it?? I mean losing your virginity before 21 is the new 'trend'. And now we get television shows using sex as a form of entertainment.

People were losing their virginity like at 13 in ancient times...I don't get what's so shocking. If we should die now, we should have died then.

and what is wrong with sex?

the problem is not in sex, but in the repression of it.

it like the old story of women going topless: when it was first brought in there were opponents. there were those screaming it was indecent and would lead to all sorts of problems. Well, as any sane person predicted, once people got used to seeing bare breasts nobody thought anything of it. It is only in the sensualizing through denial and mystification that we have problems.

I have to agree, It wasn't that long ago in this country a girl 13 could get married. Do ya think her husband was going to wait 5 years before consummating the marriage?

THe human body is what you make of it. If yo think it's dirty, sensual, nothing to look at, that's your image.

So, are you referring to a Christian Apocalypse or a general ending of the world, etc.?

i don't want the apocolipse to happen

i'm the only one so far who doesn't want it to happen?weird

You're right. So many put yes so far, lol.

clearly, you have never partied in hawaii.

You know - I saw the topic title and just thought "Please let there be something more than a yes/no answer".

Well, I was dissappointed.

Regards, PA

Just a regular Apocalypse.

Well then that sheds a whole new light on things.

Thats because they were married, and sex was valued as a 'holy or sacred' thing.

So what changed?

Why can't 13 y/o marry now in most states?


But we are getting off topic.



Yes I have. I even got a free lei

In my current condition, I would be happy if it all ended next Tuesday.

But what about people at that age having sex outside of marriage?
Which was also common.

before the patriarchal, property driven societies took hold, group sex was a common activity. Celebration of the body was only cut off because of the needs of a patriarchal structure to control its bloodlines and thus its heirs and property.

i still don't want the world to end

Why not, Juno?

I think people are getting off topic here. As interesting a debate as sex can be, can we stick to discussing the apocalypse.

because when thw world ends everything will die which would be cool to see the world just like blow up or sumtin but if your still alive when it happens

So was I so I did not vote.

But then I seen this:

Do you mean just a natural disaster (ie: asteroid)?

I want life to continue because its awesome, you want the(your) world to end take a bullet to the head, drug overdose, drown yourself, whatever ways you can end the world as you see it. Don't bring me with you!

ok I voted No, since its just a plain old apocalypse

I have 6 great Kids and I want them to live and experience everything they can, my youngest is only four, and the thought of them perishing makes me ill,

and I don't want a religious apocalypse either.

Hell no I wont go!

^ I couldn't have said it better... I don't think life is awesome, but there are mature ways of dealing with it without wanting to drag everyone into a certain death...

*you*'re not happy with Life, *you* get out and let me and my children, family and friends stay as long as God gives us on this planet.

Hey Super real nice call!

Hi Sue!
That is what life is supposed to be about.

thanks zandor

Also I agree with wabbit and suenamilyn life is not easy, just because there are some hard thing to go through its not a reason to end it all. I'm alive and that is as much I can say for myself. Death is also going to be a wonderful experience to go through, but its not time yet and I'm enjoying the good and the bad of my life.

Just to clarify, though many will die during the apocolypse war in Israel, it doesn't mean the end of the world. That is a big misconception. It will be a new and better world after, and human life on earth will continue for a very long time.

I want it to happen in my life time. It's seem George Bush does to, as he is accelerating the world events that have to happen prior to the apocolypse. For example the rebuilding of the temple mount. If nothing else it will be some interesting news to watch on television.

Thanks Zandore & superpancake
that made me feel good~

Keep in mind this is just one version of "How the world will end".
A different religion or two has a different version and some have none.

You got it on the nail!

Oh bye the way Claizen this was a cool forum or thread...thats what its called?
anywhoo's 5 stars gave me allot to think about and thats a good thing

Hope, Respect and Love? The three most important human values

Anyways I voted for 'NO' I dont want any endings. To much has happend in this world, many good, many bad, but surtenly unforgettable things. If you want your life to end, fine thats your choice but taking so many innocence lives with you is wrong.

xD for people who want the Apocalypse, they should all play russian roulette, but heres the catch, all the chambers are loaded. that way *everybody* wins.

heh, anyway, I voted *No*, science has only really been around 200 years, so you should give it a chance to run. 200 years ago, people thought science would do nothing for us. but now, we have refrigeraters - letting us keep food for longer -, cars, planes, trains - letting us travel further - and theres a lot more things. sure science has made bombs and guns,

but as much as people hate war, it can lead to the inventions of new more helpful things AND improve medicine.

i want to vote that i am absolutely terrified, that the most powerful country on earth is ruled by a group of people that believe that the world was created in exactly 168 hours, 6000 years ago, by a god who got a woman pregnant, with himself in miniature form, and, that, the best possible thing to happen is for this man to come back and destroy the world in a hprrible way. that is my vote. congress, the supreme court, are dominated by them, and let's not forget mr.george doubba u. that is my vote, and i am sticking to it. we live in a beautiful world that has been here billions of years, that will survive christianity by billions more yeare years, unless they destroy it.

So . . . you liked the leaders of the USSR a whole lot better? They certainly didn't believe such things.

Well I have no idea what the Apocolypse is but its probably Christian I'm sorry I didn'tt read the topic so I will go with gideon on this one Namaste SHeri

"These three remain - Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is Love" - 1 Corinthians 13.

Not to mention the environmental issues escalating with rubbish, polution and more.....

yuh huh. your point being...

science is still young yet look how far its progressed since comets were thought to be fire balls that their god was firing at them.

rubbish and polution are a problem yeah, but you ever realised that scientists are working on and experimenting different methods of fuel AND working on and experimenting with bio-degradable packaging. of which they have developed but its not widely used by companies.

Russians believe in Russian Orthodox its a little bit different but they are Christians aswell

I voted yes.

Simply because we as a race really deserve to die.

Humanity has showed itself inevitably and constantly prone to total stupidity, failing to learn of a history of past mistakes, hatred, greed, egoism, etc, etc.

All that surpasses the creativity and positive sides of humanity: art, love, science, humor...

As a number of others threads have conclusively shown, the Revelation of St. John is filled with pagan ideas stolen from other religions, and pertained to an end of the world in his own time, almost two thousand years ago, so the only logical conclusion it that this was a "false" prophecy.
However, if we accept the premise that the God of the Bible is not happy with the way the supposed "Christians"s have largely been responsible with everything wrong in the world today, when they had the ability to make it a utopia instead, then maybe He will "give" Christians the "fake" Apocolypse in the book of Revelations, even though it was just John's concoction of different stories and his own ideas as well.

Yeah, I'd like to see it. Especially the part about 200 million "dragons" with fiery breath, sharp teeth and serpent like tails that are supposed to destroy one third of the human race. Maybe that's possible since the creatures called Seraphim in the Bible are not angels, but "fiery flying serpents" as the word tranlates from the Bible's original Hebrew text. That kind of reminds me of that "Reign of Fire" movie! The locusts with human heads would be pretty interesting to see as well.

Speak for yourself. Maybe your miserable, but alot of us have good lives. Maybe your just the unlucky one.

maybe that part of what you said, meant that humans would breed like wild fire and spread across the world.
just a thought into its metaphorical meaning.


i still think, for people who want the Apocalypse, they should all play russian roulette, but heres the catch, all the chambers are loaded. that way *everybody* wins.

which I said earlier...
