Apocolypse now!......please

bean

Its comical really. The 21st century has dawned and our sophisticated civilisations are readying themselves for apocolyptic war....or the rapture as they call it. Here is a disturbing article about how very powerful elements in the US are taking it all to heart.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1195568,00.html

Thing is....what has driven them to this?
is it a backlash from years of what they believe was "hedonism" and a disregard for morals?
Is it the water?
Is it a few very influencial people leading all astray for their own purposes?
Are they bored?
Too much tele?
Is it Charlton Hestons fault for being NRA spokesman and apperaing on TV movies as Biblical figures....that would confuse anyone?

Ireland was a Church State for years and....well we are a lot of things but there are a surprisingly minor number of Fundamentalists with this ideal.

Yet another example of americans taking thing too far and making stuff up if it doesn't fit the facts.

Depends if that means armageddon in a biblical sence but if it is ment in reality then surley 100% of people should belive in armageddon.

armegeddon = a catastrophic or extremly destrutive event.

Our sun will go nova. There that is 100% proof that armegeddon will happen and it has happened before with other suns going nova.

Is a nucular bomb considerd a extremly destrutive event? if so that has happened more then once.

So if only 33% of ppl belive in armegeddon then the other 67% are moronic

Armageddon (imo) is an event that causes the lives of 99% of the worlds human population to change for the worse which usually results in millions of deaths or for the planet to become unlivable. The sun going nova would do it as would a nuclear war.


Something along those lines for me. Ill let ya know when it happens

Not drastic enough. Nuke the planet, keeping a select few of us (10,000? That should keep the gene pool diverse enough. We can engineer new ones if we need to anyway...) underground. Then send out the radiation eating bacteria. There you go, nice clean slate.
