  • Do You Think 2?

    Wow, not even in the hot button topics.

    Will the world end soon? Well, chances are mine will end in less than 70 years, so if you call that soon, I guess.

    Where are we going? That's a difficult one to answer. The God of my mother says I am going to hell for sure. Apparently when she used ti whip me with a piece of shredded hose and speak in tongues until my back side and lower back oozed blood, she was "slain by the spirit" and just giving me a taste of what was in store for me.

    So, as a teenager, I started seeking my own way, and I figureed out pretty quick that Hindu and Buddism pretty well leave it up to you to decide wether or not you are enlightened, and I figure if this is the pinnacle of life, I would rather die and just stay dead.

    Then I looked at a few other places that claimed they knew where we go. I don't fancy being a tree or becoming one with Gaia is all that I want to be in eternity.

    So, I then turned my attentions back toward Christianity, and through no small amount of scrutimy, I found my self to be much less confused, if I dismissed my mother's warped views as not Christian. That was up to the point I got ran over by some texting teenage moron that thought his "LOLZ" were more important than my life. At that point, I got a 3 minute visit from the pastor before he went on his vacation, and pretty well shunned by the rest of the church, save one dear sweet elderly couple that offered all they could. I found it odd that the people who were supposed to be caring and "Christlike" were too busy to drive 15 minutes out of their way to stop by and say hey to break up the pain and monotony of laying in a hospital bed for a month or more. What was really strange was that a few people who you'd probably not find in a church came to see me, from Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas city. A bunch of bikers were there when I was down, and a bunch of "Christians" weren't.

    The way I see it, these bikers are a better representative for Christianity than the elders at church that can't seem to keep from staring at my wife and daughters' asses.

    So, where do we go? I reckon probably some place where you have friends and are treated the way you treated people during your time alive. I try to do my best to make sure I help people when they need it, and I spend a lot of time asking God why this and why that. If I go to Heaven and God is there, great. If not, I sure hope mom was wrong.

        I try not to. That said, I kinda figure that if anyone says the end is at a specific time, that is NOT when it will happen.

        I do have to say though, I did enjoy 2012, really loved all the times the same group of people took off with the airport/strip crumbling below them as they climb away.

            Depends where you ask that question, I can think of a few places I have been where yours will very soon for asking stuff like that.

            if so where do you think you are going?
            About two feet further than the moment the big event happens, I figure momentum will carry me that far. Like Ron White said to the guy who asked how far the malfunctioning plane would make it "All the way to the scene of the crash! I bet we beat the paramedics there by 1/2 hour!"
            Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

            When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

              just curious on your opinions is all.

              Who the hell cares? I mean really, if it does, it does. There's not a damned thing we can do about it. No point in spending all your time worrying about it. If it doesn't and you do, you're gonna feel pretty foolish.

              Everyone dies, everything ends, it's but a matter of where and when.

              Live like you'll die tomorrow, but plan like you'll live forever.

              No use living in fear.

              And I suppose if there's anyplace to be, I'll go where I'm sent.

              ( I'm pretty sure most of that's paraphrased, but it pretty much sums up my opinions on the matter.)

                Stuff Happens versus Getting Stuffed can Happen...

                F'shizzle the world is going to end. That is, if you mean the life and people. The planet itself will remain but it is a subject of debate whether it will be a barren, arid rock like Mars, a greenhouse effect gone horribly wrong like Venus, or a post apocalyptic nuclear war waste land. I wouldn't rule out that statistically improbable asteroid impact either : just take a look at the moon in the night sky and you'll see that we're really are inside a cosmic shooting gallery .

                I say that the world is going to end because the Geological and fossil evidence so far has proven that the world has ended numerous times already. All you have to do is Google "Extinction Level Events" (E.L.E.). Time and time again the history of this planet shows that life did indeed end. Sometimes every living thing on the planet died and then sometimes almost every living thing died . We are talking about a pattern here and I myself consider it quite arrogant to think that somehow now we are "immune" or that the pattern just does not apply to us .

                Soon? That is only relevant to those people that experience the actual "end of the world ". The end of the world may/may not happen so quickly that people may not have the time to get all their affairs in order.

                Where would I go If the world ended? That's easy. I'd go the same way everything else does on a planet with a gravity field: down . As long as I or anyone else are still inside the "gravity well " of this rock when we die , it's not likely that I am going to "ascend into the skies" unless I have myself cremated and loaded aboard a space going craft . More than likely I, like the other "blessed meek " will "inherit the earth " but only in a 6ft. deep burial plot .

                The end will happen when it happens . I accept this and choose to do things that I feel are worth doing, with people worth doing things with , where they are worth doing . I also exercise what I consider to be a reasonable amount of caution and safety in my life: even When I ride a 30 year old XS1100 superbike.

                The helmet and other safety gear serves to protect me from the more immediate dangers which could result in my own personal "end of the world." I don't think they were intended to protect me from an E.L.E. but I am OK with that . I can only hope that after the world "ends" and the next "dominant species" arrives that there will be enough left of my bike and me for their scientists to recreate a fully functional XS1100, stuff me, and put me on the bike in a riding position for display in their museum.

                See? Patterns and Cycles don't necessarily have to be a bad thing .

                    According to the Mayan calendar it will end in December 2012.

                    Of course maybe the Mayan who was making the calendar just got sick of making it, or died.
