The world will not end tomorrow, and anyone who thinks it will, is going to make a heck of a fool of himself.

Oh Jesus!
Why do people believe they KNOW when the world is going to end? Please tell me, because I would LOVE to hear this - the kind of motivation, the kind of psychology that sits behind this.
In the meantime I'll tell you what I think: I think I read alot of disturbed and disturbing things in this conference today, and I feel angered and anguished when I think that there might be more coming in. I think the sort of secular/fanatic/charismatic/or whatever kind of beliefs that teach people they are 'the chosen ones', that 'the world will end tomorrow', that 'only 7000 or however many people are allowed in heaven', etc. etc. unhealthy and dangerous. There are people in the world who aren't st
ong enough by themselves to sit down and think: hey, this is bull$hit - so and so said then and then that the world was going to end, and it didn't, and what in the he�� makes them think they know anyway? Is there some new kind of 'dial-an-angel' or 'God-live' service in the yellow pages nowadays? They REALLY believe in these charismatic crackpot morons, and their warped dogmas, because they need to believe in SOMETHING, because they are lonely, because they are afraid, because they ARE IN NEED. But of
course they get a load of bull$hit wrapped in pretty paper. And so some of them commit suicide either in anticipation of this false crap, or out of dissappointment when it doesn't happen, or because someone tells them they should. Or alot of emotional damage comes from it. People get hurt. It has NOTHING to do with spirituality or true beliefs, but with fraud and power and greed, and abuse of innocent and sometimes weaker people's deprivations and gullibility. And that is why I WILL discriminate aga
nst it. Not ALL people are morons, and I think to try and feed people this nonsense on a conference such as this where there are alot of sane and intelligent people participating, STUPID in itself - because I think most people here are a little bit less gullible than that and might back me up in boycotting topics such as these. I don't come to these conferences to read this sort of crap, and I sure as hell won't tolerate it either.
This is not meant against you, Wer, but against those who preach this. Good to know there are still a few atheists left in this world!

A DOCUMENT FORGED TO DEFAME A PEOPLE
ACTION- THRILLS- SUCCESS in SEX and BUSINESS! to prove this in vast empty spaces? That doesn't explain screwing corpses and babies. There is no peace in the fingerplays that we do. She participates well. She also is not at all necessary. There is something seriously wrong here somewhere. No force on earth can remove it. God is now. Hail Eris! Hail Eris! Let the Goddess be praised!
"My ecstasy that drips forth from your loins." We use such terms only as historical and reported references; not as verified identifiable nomenclatures. Their strength is to sit still now and forever.
God has given you one face. He spit on me. So hadnt you better get cracking, Established Citizens? But first we must be free from the "Far-off."
Suddenly the room lit up with a great white light, from which her weary ovaries promised themselves an awakening, as for centuries we have done. You remember our number! We send these papers out all over the world to communicate with smelly noise, subjected to a great deal of interstellar radiation.
Here are a couple things you should know if you are opening a church in your home. There are many ceremonies that take place in churches. That is the cryptic message coming from multiple well-connected sources close to the intelligence community. As a matter of fact he shuffled his feet in a little dance of happiness: "IA! IA! KUTULU ZI KUR!" Only purification would do. He plainly can do nothing to protect the people against the oppressions of the government. or even just little nerds with glasses (this a
so includes the popular masses and sympathizers). That technique is Bayesian analysis, but there is an underlying faith that sufficient material cause must exist for any event.

the world (as we knew it yesterday) ended last night and, to reiterate...
the world will end tomorrow.

No, the world will be no different tonight from this morning. The world of yesterday did not end this morning. A few more bombs, a few more babies are no more significant than getting up on a morning.

the world is VERY different today for those who were born this morning and certainly very different for those who died last night...
And, ascertaining of course that were this true, the following would be pertinent...
had my child been born this morning the world would also be very different for me today and had my child died last night... would the world not indeed be over?

But you don't have a child, Stacey!
�smile�
But seriously. Plenty of people will have been born last night, and plenty will have died at the same time. I don't know who they are, neither do you. It doesn't make any change in the world. And if a child of yours were to be born, or had died, it would begin or end the world for you perhaps, but over all it would carry no importance whatsoever. It is, after all the people we never see or really think of that make up the world of today, isn't it? Not you or me with our snug little houses to live in
our lives in which nothing ever REALLY goes wrong, our neat little incomes, and nice clothes to wear, our comfortable, but basically worthless lives. Today's world will have ended tomorrow in that sense if we were to wake up tomorrow, and discover that all the poor people suddenly have plenty; if all the abused people (including those in your classroom) were set free from their tormentors, if JUSTICE were done to their tormentors, if no bombs had been laid and set off, if violence had suddenly stopped e
c.etc.etc. Or if everything simply disintegrated. But that will not happen. So I see it more as a topic for philosphy, than a topic for this conference. I don't much like it when people fool around over subjects such as these, whether in the sense that I interpreted it, or the sense that you made out of it; to me that suggests a loss of compassion, humanity if you will. That we're not aware anymore of the tragedy the world we live in has become for some, and that we are not aware of how misleading a
concept 'the world will end tomorrow' can be.

Ree-head says:

the world for you perhaps,
EXACTY. The world is only as big as our own brains, hearts and eyeballs in some cases. It is my point that what happens elsewhere doesn't really affect those who aren't around. (sad but true in some cases). That is why (especially when playing devil's advocate) I can say, without remorse or doubt, "the world will end tomorrow."

If you were able to really create this planet for us: would it be capitalist, socialist or communist? (I suppose any planet will turn out to be one of those. And money HAS to be involved, otherwise how would we go on shopping binges?)

If "I" were to create it for you, it would be very crowded because I would send ALL of you there so I could finally have this one to myself.

When it ends, I want to be caught by surprise. Until then I intend to live life
to the fullest and enjoy every single second, and spend as much of that time
awake as humanly possible. I do not want to miss anything!!!
