We may truly be experiencing the end times.

You forgot the world financial meltdown which has begun and is only going to get worse before (and if) it gets better.

And really, all we need is one of the super volcanoes (can you say yellowstone?) to blow and we will all be fighting over bugs and weeds to eat.

I won’t believe that it’s the end times until the Cubs beat the White Sox in the World Series. :wink:

You might want to check on what Jesus had to say on the subject: *“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” *

So if you think you’re seeing the signs of the end times - then you’re not.

Well if it started at some point, what makes you think that it won’t also end tomorrow with a Meteorite hitting us or maybe a Black hole swallowing us up and it’s over.

…and you know this how?

Whether Jesus is coming back tomorrow, or a thousand years from now, I am not doing anything different either way.

Sounds like Jesus is in the Mafia.

One might point out that the world could very well end tomorrow from a meteorite hitting us, but what the hell does all the turmoil with the weather, climate change, tsunamis, earthquakes, un-ending wars and new wars starting have to do with that?

Fulfilment of the Biblical prophecies.

“Dogs and cats living together…mass hysteria.”

Everybody that thinks the end times will happen to them do so because they are extremely self-centered and arrogant.

Or they’re just nuts. Your choice.

Well, the way he tells it, it will be like the end of the Sopranos. We’ll be eating onion rings, and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” will be playing on the jukebox, then a door will open and we’ll all look up and then

They’ve been happening since the beginning of recorded history. Why do you thing the current day is any different?

Ah. So you’re just filling in your own little stories here. Gotcha.

(I’ve always considered the bible fiction, but not science fiction)

Hmmmm…so I either give up onion rings or stop listening to Journey?

Easy choice. Thanks!

And I will link to my favorite new T-shirt (which I will be buying very soon) - Zombies Hate Fast Food

…or, they may know something you don’t know:dubious:

Nah, that’s not it. I know sniffing paint causes brain damage.

It would help to have a much more definitive description of when the end times will be than just a bunch of cryptic prophecies. How is that really supposed to help? Why be so danged mysterious? Just tell us when it is going to be, and then let’s get on with it. All these hints and clues really don’t get us anywhere. Surely a supreme being could be a little more precise.

You know, I have a coworker like the OP. He believes in ghosts, and his reasoning, as far as I can tell, is “How do you know it’s not true? They could be right.” When I responded “There’s an invisible unicorn next to you. How do you know it’s not true? After all, I could be right,” he laughed, but didn’t change his mind in the slightest. Ain’t gonna happen.

It’s the second choice, definitely :wink:
