Heard about thsi on the bbc. Can you see the progression? Can we do anything to stop it? who will try?
The Rev. Dr Colin Morris
New year is a time of beginnings, but if we don't heed the environmental warnings sounded on this programme, it could be another staging post towards the
end. In fact, if one were to write a bible for the twenty first century, it would start not like the old one with Genesis, the story of how God created
the world, but with a kind of Genesis in reverse; how we dismantled it. And it might run like this. In the end, human kind systematically demolished the
home God had given them even though they had nowhere else to go. They plundered the earth and slaughtered their brothers and sisters of the animal kingdom.
And this was the seventh day from the end. They polluted the clear air with the fumes of their machines, poisoned the sea with their garbage and turned
rivers into foaming torrents of chemical waste, and began ever so slowly to choke themselves to death. And this was the sixth day from the end. They stifled
all truth that wasn't their truth and scoffed at the warnings of the prophets and were deaf to the ominous sounds of the earth in torment. Arrogance and
self-righteousness drowned out wisdom and humility. And this was the fifth day from the end. And they said the strong are entitled to most of what's going
and the weak can have the rest. But the more they had to lose, the more they feared those who had nothing to lose, so they built ever bigger walls and
larger armies to protect their self-interest. And this was the fourth day from the end. They slept uneasily and awoke afraid and set to work to create
the ultimate weapon. Then they said, 'Now we feel safe!' But their enemies didn't feel safe, so they too created an ultimate weapon, and the whole world
lived under the shadow of extinction and called it peace. And this was the third day from the end. Then having proved by their cleverness that they could
make anything, they said, now let us make God in our own image, let us gaze into a mirror and worship the one we see there. And this was the second day
from the end. And they were mesmerised by the gleaming products of their ingenuity, and they cried 'Bigger! Faster! Stronger! Richer! Louder! More!' And
they became frantic with a desire nothing could satisfy. And this was the day before the end. Then there was chaos and uproar, and when the din subsided,
human life had vanished. And the ravished earth rested on the seventh day. Then God broke the silence. 'Back to the drawing board,' he said sadly.
Frightening, and too true.

Nothing will be done because nobody cares anymore. Just listen to the news these days, listen if you still care and if your mind is strong enough. The majority of people on earth aren't even aware of this. And most probably wouldn't even be aware of it if religion didn't preach it. The time of the end is close at hand. I believe this whole-heartedly. The Doom'sday Clock is...
Rubbish! As this god cannot be proven to exist every single word preached and printed by christianity is bullshit.

Notice the two previous posts from Goblin? The second exactly the same as the first and repeated only three seconds later! I have experienced this with atheists, that they repeat their points again and again; and you're left wondering if it's themselves they're trying to convince!
