Do you think the world will end?

Weird thing is; I've been having this recurrent dream for the last 10 years where there's a wall of fire burning up everything in sight from the south-west of me. It moves at lightning speed towards my home, no escape from it. It's extremely vivid.

Anyhoo, I don't mind if the world disappears tomorrow.

It is already 6/6/6 in some parts of the world, so how is this end-thing being co-ordinated?

People sure love an alignment, or a round number. Remember how the "Harmonic convergence" was either gong to end the world or bring some era of peace?

The date is a totally human construct, and there are 3 or 4 different calendars in use all over the world. It's a completely different year & date in some places. What a crock.

(but go ahead & party like it's the end of the world -- just in case. Hellooo ladies!)

For the record the Omen movie looks like ASS!

They even used the same script from the original so you're pretty much getting the exact same movie as 20 years ago with new actors.

Sure ! Yes, Yes you can trust me with your fortune.

I'll PM you my Paypal address right away, it's the safest way to do business don't you think?

Hurry up though, OK ?

I am not done listening to the "Seger Sessions" of Bruce Springsteen. I also intend to build a tube amp, and some speakers as well.

So the World better not end tomorrow or else!

*Additional joke about how you should send me money!!!*

Like the other guy said. Totally a human construct. No true Bible-reading evangelical would care about this date above any other.

Hmm, if that happened, then I wouldn't have to finish that paper that's due Wednesday.

Sounds good to me.

Am I the only one who realizes it is TWO THOUSAND six? Not exactly 6/6/6 IMO.

As to the question at hand: I certainly hope so.

2012 is the end of the mayan calendar or something, so naturally the kooks all think that aliens will abduct us all then.

Conspiracy theorists will never be happy. But anyone who believes in the authority of scripture shouldn't worry about specific dates.

I hope so. Then we can stop listening to all the religious whack-jobs talking about the world ending.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Honestly, how many times in your day do you see a guy with a sign saying the world's going to end? How many times each day do you have to ignore someone shoving that fact in your face? Or are you just assuming this happens a lot somewhere else in the world because you've seen it in movies and on tv shows?

Like I said before, anyone proclaiming to know a specific date is not basing that assumption on the Bible.

MOSR is stating that inside sources at Apple are going to release the Apple World Domination iPod at 6:66 PM tomorrow morning. Again, it's only a rumor.

My phone number starts with "666", I assure you, I am not the anti-Christ.

Hopefully we make it to 6/7/6. The wife is taking me and the kids to the Toledo Zoo for my 35th birthday. It's a tradition. We always go to the zoo on my 35th birthday.

He must have a calendar too, right?

well, duh! He needs to know when the date is 6/6/06. So, he's obviously using a 2051 year old calendar.
