Wether you believe in Christ or not you must admit that they're not the worst morals to live by. And the church is run by people, people aren't perfect. In theory communism works until you realize half the people out there are lazy bastards. Don't blame religiong, blame religous people.
Is This the Black Horse of Revelation?

Firstly, ive had my share of reading from religous texts, whether is be Christian, Muslim, Shinto/Zen, Arabic, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Charvakism, and many more I dont feel the need to even list here. All I am going to say is that in my studies all relgions at some point or another follow roughly the same morals and standards as any other religion. It is my belief that religion was and still is a standard of morals that are used to keep people in check, those of you who want to believe in something then so be it, but as the years go on and we continue to move on into a post modern society as Friedrich nietzsche once said, "God Is Dead" We Have Killed Him" people will realize that it was all BS to begin with. I laugh everyday as science disproves faith such as the case in evolution of humans from apes, everyone knows it happened and yet we still like to believe that some fairy like THING created us out of thin air.
Many of the morals that you guys point out are simply quite simple that is. Its common law to not steal, to not murder, or to commit rape or murder, these laws do not come from the bible, they come from the simple acts of human evolution to grow up in a society and to live to see it become civil, no god said anything about it. Some of you need to sit and read Siddhārtha Gautama and for those of you who dont know what the hell im talking about, its about buddhism, the first buddhism teacher was born into a city supposedly where he was free from all the evils of the world it wasnt until he went outside the city walls that he saw what the world was really like, its natural for people to feel greed, pain, and suffering which causes them to commit the immoral acts mentioned above, its in human nature to do it, it doesnt mean its evil, an animal kills something not because its evil but becuase its hungry. Just like a man prowls a women to have sex with, stupid example I know but i dont feel like wasting my time with this stupid forum conversation.
Furthermore, I think that religion is this countries largest problem, the main reason I cant wait to get my PHD, get the hell out of here and start doing some traveling and going to some more peaceful places in the world. No other country in the world has more politics involved with religon whether its on the basis of gay rights, adultry, gene laws and science, im talking about cloning, marriage laws, and other nitty picky things that most countries could give a hoot less about. Its some of the idiots on this forum I deal with on a daily basis that make me hate this country. Europe got it right in the wars of religions 100s of years ago, and they arent bitching about religion, marriage, or gay rights and yet we still do it.
Before anyone classifies me as an athiest, or a liberal ill just point out im neither, im a libertarian who supports Ron Paul, and i follow the shinto way of life, well feel free to ramble about how god will strike me down i laugh at religious bullshit

well lets see, monte carlo has gambling and banks, jc threw the money lenders out, a cutlass is a sword that'd be violent, but regal means royalty or king and he's supposedly the king of kings...
though, he was jewish, he might want to run a monte carlo bank...

By the time I finished the original post... I was really mad and had something incendiary to say, and by the time I finished reading this thread I'm just so pissed I can't remember what I was mad about originally, I'm just mad in general now.
But about the apocalypse... Remember Y2K? Nuff said, there's not going to be an "apocalypse" in the sense that everything is just going to fall apart in one day. Things have been steadily falling apart for decades here, and things will just keep getting worse, then one day it be the last straw and we will just fall into chaos and that will be that. Civilized society will cease to exist and it will be anarchist every man for himself free for all, and then it will be only 50 to 100 years before the human race is completely extinct or down to just a handful of specimens left. But any apocalypse theory, or 2012 theory is just bullshit. It's a gradual decline, and one day things will just get so bad... It will be the official end of the world (as we know it) but it's such a slow process that I doubt anyone will be able to note the time that it happens.
The world as we know it is definitely coming to an end... But there will be no second coming, there will be no rapture, there will be nothing. We will just become as extinct as the dinosaurs, and it's going to happen soon. As soon as Nascar, pro wrestling, and reality TV became the norm I knew it was the beginning of the end. Look at Rome, the emperors distracted the people from the degradation of the empire with cheap tasteless entertainment gladiator games, gambling, legal prostitution, etc. And that's what Nascar, pro wrestling, and reality TV represents to us in modern times. A way to placate people, and make them apathetic to what is going on right under their noses. Any dumb *ss that isn't blind can see that things are REALLY messed up... Huge floods, huge droughts, religious fanaticism of every kind, terrorists, tsunami's, wars everywhere, hurricanes, huge volcanic eruptions, man made environmental disasters, record breaking precipitation, record breaking cold and heat, the worst economy in 75 years, political and civil unrest. If there's a second civil war/revolution in my life time I won't be surprised. And I don't plan to be caught off guard either. Stock up on essential commodities, non perishable food, clothes, and guns and ammo folks.
