They say the end of the world is coming.

LOL.

I've always wondered about that.

The debate on the presence or absence of 'God' has tentalized man's soul for ages. Now, it seems that the issue has evolved into which 'God' is the true one, or which denomination is the one that truly reflects 'God's' teachings.

With few exceptions the doctrinal differences between Christian denominations do not reflect issues that could be considered fundamental. Some baptize through submersion and some sprinkle. Some have church on Saturday and some on Sunday. It isn't the self righteous power struggle you make it out to be. However, to know that you would have to look deeper into the matter then what can be found on the internet.

When you talk to your "god" next time, tell him I said "thanks" that holier-than-thou proselytizers like you are fading into oblivion. Oh yeah, and ask him if he can loan you his magic spell check fairy dust. Telling people that don't agree with you that they are going to "hell" loses its effect when you can't even communicate effectively in your native tongue.

By the way, if you don't mind my asking.....exactly which of the many "Christian" denominations is the right one? I'd hate to be set on fire for all eternity by your loving god because I was born not knowing what club to join, and fell in with the wrong crowd.

Yes, because we all know that it is the confrontational atheists that are the superlative examples of how to get along and agree on everything. Posts like this are far too common in this type of discussion. Instead of engaging the topic with someone you disagree with you sought to discredit and insult him. It is just petty to wholly mischaracterize the argument and cite spelling errors as reason to subvert the posts intent.

You are obviously hung up on the concept of hell. Surely you know that flightsimmer's intent was not to condemn everyone who disagrees with him to hell but to offer an escape from that fate. Yet, rather then discussing it with humility (in other words...like an adult) you slung this demeaning and pointless blather. If given the choice between between the holier-than-thou proselytizer and the fist-shaking, mad at the sky atheist I would choose the former.

Theories don't become true until proven.

Or until you bite the hook.
In reality, I could probably find a study that contributes global warming to methane gas in Mickey Mouse farts. It depends on whose bandwagon you want to jump on.

While I don't believe global warming will be the end of the world any time soon...I find it hard to believe that pumping millions upon millions of tons of byproducts and pollution into the atmosphere is healthy...in the short run or the long run.

Some people believe that if we continue the path we're on...it will destroy the earth in just a few short years. Others don't seem to care as long as it does not inconvenience their lifestyle. I personally believe both are wrong.


Ahhhh...politics and religion. I love how it brings people together.

From what I have found, on the original topic of this thread, about the "end of the world" happening in 2012 because the Mayan calendar stops then, is nothing to be concerned about. This is just a little piece of info I found while searching this topic.
"The date December 21st, 2012 A.D. (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count), represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun).
They measured long time periods by means of a Long Count, in which one 360-day year (a "Tun"), consists of 18 x 20-day "months" ("Uinals"). Twenty of these Tuns is a Katun; 20 Katuns is a Baktun (nearly 400 years); and 13 Baktuns adds up to a "Great Cycle" of 1,872,000 days, ( 5200 Tuns, or about 5125 years).

Mayan scholars have been attempting to correlate the Long Count with our Western Gregorian calendar, since the beginning of this century. There has been massive variation in the suggested correlations, but as early as 1905, Goodman suggested a correlation only 3 days from the most popular one today. Known as the GMT correlation, or "correlation # 584283", this was finalized in 1950, and puts the start of the Great Cycle ( day 0.0.0.0.0) on 11th August 3114 BC, and the end-date (known as 13.0.0.0.0.) as 21st December 2012."
All of this info was found on this site, that site's it's sources (and there are a lot of them) at the bottom of the page.

well not really. Im not real sure I believe in global warming. But I dont think anyone would disagree that the world was a whole lot cleaner and more pure 10,000 years ago.

The earth is only about 6000 years old

I keep seeing the ads for the book about this and I just LAUGH! Whoever in God's name thought this up is either a freaking moroon or he's the smartest man alive.

I say that because if he believes that, he's an idiot. If he doesn't believe it, he found a great way to make money and controversy over something stupid.

The book that told me this is the Bible

Well I'd LOVE to see where the Bible says that. If the bible DOES say Earth is only 6000y/o, I will have lost faith in the Bible.

Well either you misread it or it is wrong!!

Won't even get into how the bible is not the word of God but simply a man's interpretation of God's word.


Flame suit on!!

I never said I don't believe in God I am just skeptical of some things, would love to meet him I got a bunch of questions.
