Well, with all this shit going on in the middle east and the strange changes in our earths climate...it has me wondering whats going on here. I've always had a strange obsession with the possibility of the end of the world...a subject that scares me, yet fascinates me at the same time.
It is impossible to deny that our world is heading in a terrible direction and it looks like its too late to turn back. So here are some of my thoughts...
First of all, here is some background about myself- I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and was brought to "chruch" between 2-3 times a week for the first 16 years of my life. This gives me a pretty good understanding, not only of that religion, but of Christian beliefs as a whole. I also have some slight understanding of world religions from college courses.
Although I greatly respect Jehovah's Witness's for their disassociation with sin, I have trouble believing it is the truth because I do not buy any truth in christianity...nor any religion for that matter. Religion gives people something to fight for...something to believe in...thoughts of salvation..etc... But we have no possible way of proving who is right or wrong. Yet it seems we fight endlessly to protect our religions or to try to whipe other beliefs off the map...
Anyway, that is just to say that I blame religion for most of the conflict in the world today. I'm personally agnostic and believe there is something else out there, but am hesitant to believe that any of us truley know what it is and truley worship the correct god. I think some sin is obvious, like gay marriage. Come on, it is obvious that a dick was not meant to go in an asshole (excuse me for being blunt or offending anyone). I belive greed is also an obvious sin, but it seems that the US fights for it quite a bit. We seem to be much more tolerant of sin nowadays....
Anyway, the purpose of this thread is to see what some of you think is going to happen in this possible time of the end.
I personally think we are on the verge of world war 3. Deep down I don't think there is much time left for mankind, at least on this planet. Has anyone looked into the 2012 theories? They are quite interesting.... The mayans seemed to know something that maybe we don't.... There understanding of the solar system in absolutley unbelievable considering that they had none of the technology we have today. For those of you unaware of the mayans and their calanders i'll give you a brief explanation, but i recommend you research it yourself if you are interested (avoid the really far out websites, as much of those are rubbish). Anyway, basically the mayans developed a number of calanders ( 3 to be exact) that are the most accurate to date...and they were created centuries ago. They accuratley pinpointed the winter solstices hundreds of years in advance all through their amazing understanding of the stars. This type of understanding is quite unexplanatory....
It makes you wonder if they had some kind of help...heavenly or whatever. Anyway, the kicker with the mayans is that the calanders they created come to an end at 2012. Not only this, but in 2012 there is supposed to be some kind of galactic alignment (I don't know exactly what, as im not much of an astrologist, but i dont think we have ever seen this alignment take place before). The theory is that the mayans could have somehow known about the ending of the world and developed a calander to show its end. It is quite strange that there ending date coincides with such an extraordinary event...especially considering how messed up the world seems to be today...
I know it is far-fetched to believe the world could just end like that...but is it really that unbelievable considering the state of the world. The middle east crisis could quickly become out of hand and even elevate to nuclear war. Who knows what that could do our atmosphere, considering whats already been done to it. The changing climate could become unbearable for mankind. We are smart creatures, but If a drastic change takes place in only a couple years, we are not quick enough to save ourselves.
Really, the way I see it is the age old saying...the only certainty is change. I feel like people who automatically dismiss theories such as other lifeforms or some kind of greater meaning behind the pyramids or the mayans are naive and may ultimatley lead to our demise. Honestly, who can say with certainty that there is no other lifeform out there. Space is infinite...I feel like I can say quite certainly that there is something out there. There almost has to be..almost.
Anyway sorry for the rant. Sometimes I just need to get my thoughts out even though I don't always expect people to read or acknowledge them. I just feel like something is going on here.... something big... something soon.
So what are your thoughts....
