Is our world in chaos?


Justification for believing in fairy tales? Well of course a fairy tale is going to justify itself.
 

Yesterday's Prophecies - Today's Headlines

Vulnerability is becoming more commonplace in our lives with each passing day. The looming recession, the strange microbes and viruses we're hearing about on the news, the mad dictators testing their hydrogen bombs and long-range missiles, the constant terrorist threats, the specter of war in the Middle East, and politics, and more politics! All the signs of the last days are converging at the same time. Bible Prophecy is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, the predicted events are happening more frequently and more intently. With so many end times Bible prophecies on the brink of fulfillment, the events that are occurring now on a daily basis can only lead us to conclude that the end of this age approaches rapidly.​

Funny. So what is it about Christians that you hate? I mean you spend a lot of time putting us down. What's your motivation? What do you hope to accomplish?

I don't hate christians, but I do recognize that people that follow religions are the greatest threat to mankind's future. Look at the root cause of the majority of war and terrorists acts today. Religion is the impetus of most of the hate we see in the world today. Be it hatred of other religions, gender bias, racism, even hating people for the people that happen to love.

I suspect that as a gun owner, perhaps someone that trains and carries for protection, and practices situational awareness, you understand that threats cannot be ignored. Not all threats are some punk on drugs that merely want my stuff at any cost to fund his next drug fix. Some threats put the future of civilization in jeopardy. Religious conflicts have already destroyed our countries future, through debt and the erosion of freedoms. Who would have believed that our children would have to submit to being groped by government goons just to fly to visit grandma at Christmas. Religion did that.

Christianity is one of those religions. I cannot separate them for they are all based on fears, phobias and ancient ignorance.

I know people use religion to advanced personal agendas, but I don't see how guys like me are a threat.

I have my relationship with God and the Bible as my moral compass. It tells me to love God and love my neighbor as myself. That means treating my neighbor as I would like to be treated. Scary, I know. ;-)

It's true that some religions are at the heart of wars, and people have (wrongly) used Christianity to give their own agenda fake validity, but that's a lot different than sharing biblical prophecy thoughts and telling people what Christ did for them, like we do.

So do you see OG, Ringo and I as part of the greatest threat to mankind's future? If so, how is mocking us solving or mitigating that problem?

Many don't practice that, and it has been proven when christians go to the polls to impose the hate they are taught in the bible into civil laws that effect everyone, with the only purpose to discriminate against and deny rights to a group of people based only on their personal beliefs or gender or race, or whom they happen to love. Fortunately the courts have overturned most of these religiously motivated agendas as unconstitutional.

Ringo and OG have been very vocal about their hatred for others that have different views, while justifying it as what they believe their god wants.

I understand that as a christian you keep trying to separate christians from the fray, but how is your religion different than many others? Beliefs in a supernatural beings, rewards or punishment after death, and demanding strict adherence to laws dating back to a time when men didn't know where the sun went at night.

I know you are trying to explain something to XD but, as you can see, the hatred he blames on us is simply a manifestation of his own hatred for those who do not agree with his particular philosophy on life. He feels he absolutely has to discredit our Christian beliefs in order to justify his own hatred of us and on any who try to use the Bible and it's tenets as our rule and guide for life. XD is not content with his own unbelief, he tries to insure that, since he doesn't believe in our God, no one else should. Yet, he says "...."how is your religion different than many others?" Whether he meant to acknowledge that other religions do exist, or not, his own words do say that there are other religions so, in that case, why doesn't he castigate others for their beliefs? Or is he simply anti-Christian because the laws of our Bible hold us to a higher moral life style than being amoral? Whatever his reasoning, he will never cease in his vain attempts at demeaning our God, not for the fact that He does exist, but for the fact that he has deigned in his finite wisdom that our God does not exist.
 
The title to this thread was "Is our world in chaos?". The answer is yes. That's why I carry a gun. Can we move on now, please? Good grief.

Agreed, the world is in chaos and I would say that is why most of us do carry a gun. However, I know of no reason why there is the necessity of insulting or otherwise attempting to demean one simply because of their religion. If one doesn't believe in a deity of any sort, that is fine with me, but don't try to demean me for my belief. If you do, I feel compelled to reply in similar manner. It is somewhat similar to your carry weapon. If you like a Kimber, fine. Just don't criticize me for carrying a Sig. You use what you prefer, as do I, and I will not criticize you for your choice. Conversely, if you enjoy conversing with others who think as you, it isn't necessary for me to criticize your conversation or to otherwise make myself a pain in your backside. Can we move on? Absolutely, just as soon as we all agree to stay out of the business of others. If I agree with some subject you proffer, I may make a statement in agreement with you. But, if I don't agree, it isn't necessary for me to say anything at all.

~ It’s LOVE that constrains us to tell people they are lost and headed for Hell if they don’t know Jesus Christ, not hate. Hate says nothing ~ ​

Come on old man, are you that daft? All religions and their fantasies about gods are a threat, and I have made that perfectly clearly time and time again.

It also seems you are incapable of separating the word religion from god or deity, religions are real, and a devastating force in our world today, existing for the justification of bigotry and hatred you seek and find in your bible, the gods of religion are the imaginary part. You are a bigot, your words have made that clear, yet you don't have the character or courage to just admit that.

Hypocrite~ You profess that god is returning and you will be freed from the turmoil of this world, even stating that September 2015 "felt good" for yet you carry a gun. If your god is going to magically rapture you, so be it, or if your god wants you to die at the hands of some punk on drugs while withdrawing cash from an ATM, so be it. After all who are you to question your gods plan for you?

Now you also bring into the fray the manufacturer of the gun someone carries? I've recently been attacked even for the caliber I own, by a self-professed christian, for some unknown reason, aside for desperation for some point to attack.
 
XD: You are the one who appears to have considerable difficulty in understanding what is happening in the world today and, concerning Biblical prophecy, you are at a total loss. We have all said that this time in our world and society bear a strong connection with what Christ said would be happening just prior to His return. No one has offered a specific date, only alluded to the prophecy and the times described. Only you gave a specific date and that so you could say it didn't happen. Only sheer stupidity would make you think that I, or any other Christian or person of any other religion, want to deliberately let someone kill us to go to heaven early. God knows when we will be called home and, for us to do anything to curtail our journey here on earth would be a sin. Yes, I do carry a gun to prevent a premature departure from earth. When God wants me, He will call. I don't have to follow your ridiculous line of thinking and look for someone to shoot me.

To further indicate your delusional thinking, you try to misinterpret my comparison to carry weapons with NavyLCDR as having some connection with religion. If you can't follow what was said you are indeed off the deep end. I am a Christian and I don't care one bit about what type or caliber weapon you carry. The comparison went completely over your head. As for the term "bigot," yes, I will own up to it. In case you aren't aware, the term "bigot" refers to a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions. WHOA! Damn, that means you are a bigot XD! Surely, you must have realized that, huh? Let's face it old son, you are just as guilty in your thoughts as you accuse us of being! That should indicate to you the reason no one places much stock in your comments anymore. All of your continuing diatribe is expected in your comments and ignored.
