Peace throughout the world is actually the first sign of the end times. Now there's a twist you don't hear often.

Just checking in with J_B on how this peace on earth would come about. Anyone think Dubya might be the messiah?

Peace will come when the lion lays down with the lamb. So all we need to do is discover the identity of these symbols. . . .

. . . and kill them.

Not without 'right relations' as you call it. And even then, it's iffy.

But right relations are applicable to all people, where as religious relations cause wars. As well as misunderstandings.

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Einstein says 'No.' I'm in agreement.

Yes, I made the statement that the frequency and severity of natural disasters has been happening. I listed a bunch of sites that backed that up. I would imagine there are just as many sites that would say it is not so. Some thought some of the sites were credible and obviously some thought they were not.

I think it is pretty obvious that natural disasters are at the very least increasing in frequency. How many hurricanes were there this year just off the coasts of the United States? How many earthquakes around the world?

I would imagine for every Christian site there is a non-Christian site disputing the Christian site. There are Christians that believe in the rapture and there are Christians that don't believe in the rapture. No one believes 100% the same thing as anyone else believes.

We all have differing views and opinions and beliefs. That is just the way of the world. We discuss them and share them.

nice try ma but wrong, some of us attempt to discuss them/share them and some of you try to legislate them so that all may suffer.

It was well reported at the time of the recent hurricanes that the frequency of the occurance of tropical storms is cyclical. As for the severity of those storms, that is a product of the temperature of the water over which they move, and most comments on that topic were to the effect that the severity of the storms was a product of global warming.

There is no basis for a contention that the number of earthquakes around the world is increasing. I would be happy to send a private message to Farmerman, and we can get someone in here who is a geologist, who makes his living as a geologist by private contracting (which means if he doesn't know what he's talking about, he starves--and FM will point out that he eats well), who teaches university level courses in geology and stratigraphy. Be happy to oblige, just let me know.

I note that MOAN finishes on her favorite tune--which is always a variation of "well, that just what i believe."

dys,

How many times do I have to say it? I do not go out in the public and stand on the street corner and tell people to vote a certain way. The extent of my trying to legislate anything has been discussing them on these threads.

I have said that everyone has the right to lobby within the law to change the laws, yes. And everyone does have that right.

So, dys, I have been discussing and sharing.

Mr. Setanta,

And how are you today, fine sir? Laughing

I hope all is well with you.

Mr. Setanta, I did not say WHY there was an increase of frequency or severity of natural disasters. I just stated there IS an increase in frequency and severity. From what you posted, it seems this is the case. :wink:

And Mr. Setanta, I qualify my statements with "what I believe" because of all the times I had been accused of painting with a wide brush and making it seem as if I felt everyone should believe that.

Mr. Setanta, I can only tell you what I believe. I cannot tell you what anyone else believes or thinks or feels.

You don't have to bother Mr. Farmerman, Mr. Setanta. I am doing some research on all of this, but I do appreciate your offer!

You have a wonderful day, Mr. Setanta.

There is no reason to assume your statement is true. This year's hurrican season had exactly one more tropical storm than the busiest storm season of the 1930's--that's what cyclical means, comes and goes, ya know?

Yes, i'm sure you would rather not have the input of someone who can state what he knows as opposed to simply what one wants to believe . . .

Mr. Setanta, I have been doing research on this, like I said, I can probably find as many sources that say yes. there is an increase in frequency/severity and no, there hasn't been. There will always be differing opinions on this a just about everything else in life.

See my above statement.

Mr. Setanta,

Are you having a bad day? You seem just a bit on edge this morning. I hope you are not having a bad day, sir.

It's beautiful weather here in Louisiana today and I hope you are having good weather also.

Have a good day, Mr. Setanta!

It's typical MOAN horsie poop to assert that there are differing opinions on topics about which well-educated people who make their livings studying specific phenomena have substantiated knowledge. Your basic assertion boils down to one which posits that nothing can be known, and that any old loony opinion is as good as a well-informed opinion. You continue to either be ignorant of or to ignore the meaning of cyclical.

The ability to link to the websites of people who cherish similar loony opinions is proof of nothing other than community of gullibility.

As I have mentioned to you numerous times, the sources that you normally quote for such drivel can be easily shown to be factless or deceptive or both. Finding sources is not the same as finding truth.

Mesquite,

And let me add to that, some of the sources I posted earlier were found credible by some and not credible by others, just as some sources posted (in other threads) by others have not been found to be credible by some and yet credible by others.

We all have differing views and opinions. Does it always have to come down to someone being right or wrong?
