warning: end of the world ahead

You guys, this weather is getting so scary. D: I keep thinking about, like.. how my parents want the end times to come. And how a lot of really crazy people do too. And then I wonder if they're right and this is all just leading up to something that I'm scared of even though I don't believe in it.

I don't know. I get a lot of fatalism out of having that mindset around me because it seems like people who don't even believe it want to live that way, like we can just do whatever we want and it won't matter in a generation or three because hey, the world's going to end.

I'm not being morbid, I'm just saying... the weather's been freaky-weird all over lately. And sometimes I think about how things might just be too fucked up to go on in some ways and I don't know how the world's going to adapt and change and either accommodate and fix or ignore and let decay these things that are so wrong.

I'm a fucking bleeding heart is kind of what I'm saying. If god's vengeful enough to have the Earth go nuts then... I don't know. Not a caring god. Which doesn't fit with my view of the world as an ultimately fair thing.

I'm a heathen D:

And I don't know why I'm going off on this when I've been writing nothing but the usual gratuitous pr0nography but maybe it's just forcing my serious thoughts to clump up. Like kitty litter. xD Scoop.

Amber and Kevin say hello to the internet. :D

I got very nauseous from watching Guitar Hero earlier, and I'm still a little woozy. x.x Bedtime for a Dani.


(p.s. isn't there something in revelations about young generations prophesying? I don't know if that's massively inappropriate to say and I know people have been predicting the end of the world basically since the disciples, but.. I don't know. I'm probably going fucking nuts anyway. xD)

If you say the same thing long enough, eventually it'll come true just because the math worked out; what was said had nothing to do with it.

That said, I personally believe the entire fucked-up weather thing is being done specifically to disprove Al Gore.
"Global warming, huh Al? COLD SNAP FOR YOU, MINUS A BILLION DEGREES FOR TWO WEEKS FOR 1/4 OF THE USA! WHERE'S THE WARM AL? WHERE IS THE WARM?"

The world's out to get Mr. Gore.

Actually, that would prove Al Gore's point. Disrupted weather patterns are a reflection of global warming, which means that we'd all get the freezing cold and eighty thousand feet of lake effect snow.

Of course, you'd have to be the above average american to care enough to look into that. (not saying that you aren't, I can never read sarcasm on the internet)

[identity profile] shigogouhou.livejournal.com 2007-03-02 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Think of the intellect of the average American.
Then realize this means that half of them are stupider than that. :D

You're not the only one.

I still smile when I envision Al Gore giving a speech on global warming and how polar ice caps are melting, and then heading outside into a -20 blizzard. I don't particularly dislike Al Gore, I just think it's an amusing visual.

...."the math" is going to "work out" to make JESUS CHRIST DESCEND FROM HEAVEN AND GATHER THE WORTHY AND CHOSEN INTO HEAVEN AND THEN COMES THE REIGN OF THE BEAST?

....I knew I fucking hated math for a reason.

I'm so not starting a religious debate. I want to, but it's 2:30 am and I have to get up early tomorrow to make my house stop crying D:

I'm not starting a religious debate, I'm making an argument about the probability of the second coming as a mathematically calculable quantity. While that saying may hold true in some things, I don't think the fucking APOCALYPSE is one of them. xD

OMG!

That's like trying to get into a red-rope club in the city.

Jesus says you can't get in if you're not wearing the right kind of shoes.

[identity profile] shigogouhou.livejournal.com 2007-03-02 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
Considering the shoes Jesus was sporting, I'm not sure he's exactly the fashion expert of the afterlife.

[identity profile] speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-03-02 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder if Jesus is a fan of Crocs or Converse.

[identity profile] shigogouhou.livejournal.com 2007-03-02 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Seeing as he walks on the water, the holes in Crocs would be rather pointless.
Plus, y'know, tasteless joke about him already having holes in his feet, why would he want them in his shoes too.

This kinda shit would get me thrown off the air by the FCC.
This kinda shit draws ratings for podcasts.

Just sayin, yo.

Don't try too hard, it's embarrassing. :P

I'm just happy to finally be involved in one of your overly-long LJ comment battles. So many times I've wanted to read but not wanted to go through 40 comments. Now I'm involved! I feel included. And amusing, slightly blasphemous and a bit tired, but mostly included.

[identity profile] speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-03-02 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry if this disappoints you, but I'm going to bed now. :P

[identity profile] shigogouhou.livejournal.com 2007-03-02 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
So am I. I'm glad you caved first though. ♥

I don't think the world will end completely, but I'm one of those lame assed optimists. Oddly enough.

But I think we're coming to the tip of the pyramid and the only way to go is back down or completely out into space. If that makes sense, but that's the picture in my head.

The gift of prophecy isn't something I'd want, but I see some fucked up shit these days that really makes me wonder.

[identity profile] speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-03-02 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like to be one of those optimists but the religious view sticks in my head more than the scientific when I'm thinking in scared terms.

It makes sense. I just don't know if we're being held back from being capable of taking that step by greedy fucking corporations and a fucked up bunch of governments that do as much harm as good sometimes, by our own stupid ideological differences. (woaaaah nelly. *reins in the dark horse named Pessimism*)

Yeah. It's not just what I see. It's I have friends (and ex-friends) that see strange things and have weird dreams, and I see a lot of clear eyed people who get what looks like is going on, but we don't get a whole lot of attention.

People have been thinking that the world is going to end for like a billion years now. It's probably not going to just poof, angels descend from heaven, rocks fall everyone dies. That's just not rational or logical.

If the world ends, it's going to decline slowly over time because the human race is using way too many resources. And even then, it won't like END, it'll just become less habitable until we're all living in sealed off little habitats, with like fake air and recycled water and stuff.

But not in our lifetime, that won't happen.
