"One is punished most for ones virtues" Fredrick Neitzche

Hi Pinky, this doomsday statement is so typical of fundalmentalist I am compelled to respond. How do you explain that everytime some religious group predicts the end nothing happens? For instance during the Dark Ages the plague had people believing the end has come. A estimated 1/3 of the population of Europe died. (interesting to note it was in part due to superstition of religious mania that indiscriminatly killed cats because they were thought to harbor witches which in turn poliferated disease spreading rats and mice. During the 1800's a group of religious fanatics lead by a William Miller using the signs of Revelations predicted the day of apocalypse 22OCT1822. Nothing happened. WWII Hitler invades in Europe and begins genocide of the Jewish people. Religous fanatics again claimed Hiter was THE antichrist and that apocalypse was at hand. The war ended and life goes on. 1980 religious fanatics claim Ronald Regan is The antichrist because he has 6 letters in both names....He came and went. Nothing happened. 1990s David Koresh and a bunch of religious fanatics hold up in Waco Tx because again the end is at hand. The end came for them but the world continued on the next day after they all burned for they're stupidity. 1999 once again religious fanatics predict armagedon and world calamity....Jan 01 2000 nothing happend. How is it you can now again claim the end of America and expect to be taken seriously? You are in good company with your predictions Pinky. You can keep your religious fanatacism and self rightous narrow mindedness . America has endured dark days in the past and will endure them in the future . God Bless America and all patriots that have spilled they're blood to keep us free.

Sorry pinky that does not wash, every single 'end times' predictor thought the same damn thing. And Nothing Happend.
I live and work near Ft Hood Texas Home of the 4th Infantry Div.
I am a veteran and am very proud of this country and its military. No blood from our soil was ever spilled in vain if the cause was not just the spirit and principals these men and women die for on a daily bases mean something. I am not just talking about IRAQ, but all Wars were Americans fought and died.
You living in Canada must be above it all no pun intended. I realize this is a international forum and that alot of people do not support my country but I hope while you are sitting in your cozy home typing a thought may go out to some of those who are in harms way. OK I am off my soap box, now back to your regularly scheduled debate. Peace. [This message has been edited by 1.61803, 04-21-2004]

The text goes on to say the let he who has wisdom take heed the number of the beast is 666. Theologians now have discovered that the prophet John was probably refering to Nero Caesar a known enemy of the early christians. It is also interesting to note that the book of revelations was almost dropped from the cannon. The book was written at a time that christianity was still a faction of Judiasm and was probably written to futher distance early christians from orthodox Jews as well as to scare christians to remain in the fold. It was written at a dark time in Christian history the Romans had demolished the Jewish temples and were cruxifying so many people they ran out of lumber. The superstitious take this book literal Pinky, I am not superstitious. I can tell you that Nostradamus had some far out prophesy as well do you think them any more crediable than Revelations? John Smith said angels visited and showed him the Golden Plates from which he contrived the book of Mormon. Do you believe this as well? What makes your mythology any more believable than other cultures and religions mythology? Did Jesus himself prophesize the end of the world and the kingdom of heaven to be fulfilled within the apostles lifetime? I understand you believe the literal bible, just remember that it is nothing more than mythology to many and many do not believe it to have any more credence than any other dooms day rhetoric.
As a Christian I supose you must believe Christ is returning. No problem, the only reason I responded to your earlier post was because your claims of America's demise and the ridiculous claims of Armagedon. Go ahead and preach dooms day if you if it makes you feel good. Just remember it has been preached for Centuries and will probably continue to be preached for as long as Christians view themselves as the only ones worthy to be taken by rapture. Another arrogant premise IMO. Peace be with you. *edit typo[This message has been edited by 1.61803, 04-21-2004]

Please astound me with your knowlege on the subject and share with us all what it is about. Evidence please site references of this plan or retract this statement. Please expound on what civil liberties are destroyed. America has the strongest economy/ military/and one of the highest standards of living in the world. I do not believe this country is a sinking ship because YOU think so. America is the only country I know of that is willing to actually DO something rather than debate and BS about it. No country is safe from terrorism and no country is without its problems but to hear you talk Pinky it sound like you have been fairly indoctrinated into some Anti-America propaganda of your own. All I can say is It is great to be an American waiving my made in China flag. Which flag do you wave?*edit typo[This message has been edited by 1.61803, 04-21-2004]
