Are we living in pre-apocalyptic times?

Are we living in pre-apocalyptic times?

Many prominent political scientists have publicly stated that there is a very real possibility of world war 3 breaking out sometime in the 2016-2017 timeframe.

There might even be the threat of a nuclear war between western NATO countries and Russia/China.

In any case, the world is a very sick, evil, twisted, and horrendous place filled beyond capacity with greed, injustice, corruption, and it deserves to be destroyed.

Think Sodom and Gomorrah times a few billion.

You sound like a warmongering general.

Well, by definition, if there is an apocalypse to come at an indeterminate future date, we live in pre-apocalyptic times. Just like October 1748 was pre-9/11.

No, we are living in the post-apocalyptic era. All the prophecies were fulfilled long ago, and we're all done with God now.

Forget armageddon. Just wait for the next planet-busting asteroid.

Pre-apocalyptic times is what I call the week leading up to my period.

I always assumed that was how God is gonna do us in anyway. Would certainly be the easiest, cleanest way to do it. One big rock and boom, everything is done. Start over in another galaxy. Preferably one far, far away. Or maybe He already did that a long time ago.

Any deity that's tired of humanity infesting Terra need only stir up Sol a little, not even up to a nova, just a litle cook-off with big CME's (coronal mass ejections) heading our way. Any deity who has not done so obviously does not care about how we behave. Or do the disparate deities of gravity, relativity, and quantum mechanics have their own agendas?

Just a note: 'God' is a job title, not a proper name.

Yes, by definition.

No, by implication.

Don't subsume your experience to the stewards of fear and loathing. The have nothing to offer.

The term "pre-apocalyptic" presumes that biblical horseshit has some connection to reality. Such has not been demonstrated. No physical evidence has been found to support the Exodus myth. No records corroborate the existence of one Yeshua bir Miriam aka Jesus. Scads of Apocalypse texts circulated before that of John of Patmos was canonized -- and every prediction of "end days" over the last couple of millennia has been wrong. It's a fantasyland, folks.

Believers are so wonderfully gullible. Boy howdy, do I have some good shit to sell y'all!
