"I don't think about when the end will come......I believe it will, like all Christians but it is not a place to dwell. We don't know when...so we just live our lives as believers doing that daily stuff."
You're right, we, as human beings DONT know when 'the end' will come. Just like we DONT know if there will be an end, just like we DONT KNOW for sure if there is a god or if there isn't one. Not because we refuse to 'beleive' but because WE JUST DONT KNOW! WE KNOW that we are alive now. WE KNOW that we see through our eyes, hear with our ears, smell with our nose. WE KNOW that by giving blood we stop A PERSON FROM DYING. we KNOW that science has PROVEN with EVIDENCE that we EVOLVED AND SO DID ALL OTHER LIFE ON THE PLANET. IT IS TRUTH, NOT BELEIF. and whilst we can think about, fantasise, hypothesise, dream, think up ideas and theories, that is exactly what they are. Ideas, theories. THere MIGHT be a god. There might not. POint is, we all want the one thing, happiness and peaceful times for all. We want suffering to stop. with every disease cured or prevented by science, WE PREVENT AND STOP MORE SUFFERING. IT's NOT MYTHICAL, it's NOT MAGICAL, it's not A MIRACLE, ITS TRUTH!! THousands and thousands have died and suffered under religeon, theories that are taken literally and forced physically on societies. Theories and wonderful ideas that are TAKEN AS FACT. One day we will know more, maybe not in our lifetime but we are finding out more about our universe every day. Scientists have already begun to uncover and prove the existance of other universes. untill they do we're not going to base our LIVES on what they theorise about, just like we shouldn't base our every morality and life on religeous theories. IT is more dangerous and evil than anything else. BELEIF is what has driven people to kill masses at war, BELEIF is what gives us the excuse to do anything that in reality might be immoral but because we beleive 'its all in a good cause' or 'god wants me to' we think it's acceptable! To murder! To condone love and marriage! To stop families getting together and caring for each other at christmas time, even if they don't BELEIVE in something they don't know exists! To STOP THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE at birthdays! If birthdays are a bad experience for you, then you don't have to celebrate them, but don't inflinct that on others who may have previously enjoyed birthdays! IN the end it's all living. Going about our lives the best way we know how, and try to cease suffering in our world by PRACTICAL MEANS WHICH WE KNOW EXIST AND ARE PROVEN AS SHARPLY AS THE EYE CAN SEE THEM! To not think for yourself, to not feel the confidence and happiness that comes with making your own decisions for yourself, to question, to discuss ideas, to live for yourself and your family NOT AN ORGANISATION or a BOOK, that is sadness. And that sadness only adds to the evil hatred in our world.
