The God Who Cried Wolf

Well, well, well, world events are finally moving beyond the point where they are anal and repetitive to where they are beginning to get interesting.

I was thinking today about the book of Revelations in the Bible. I was thinking about all the prophecies concerning the “end times,” the Battle of Armageddon, and things of that nature.

Personally, I think I’d be fine if this was the beginning of the end. If it’s going to come anyways, why put it off? Why not just get it over with?

Besides, what better time is there for it to happen? We can all sit back and watch the live coverage as the battle rages on the playing field of the Middle East. We can throw some popcorn in the microwave, call some friends over, and watch continuous coverage and commentary on the whole thing.

Then, if the scriptures are true, we can observe from a distance as the moon turns to blood, the stars fall from the sky, and the antichrist comes to power. Or maybe those were all figurative references. Or maybe the antichrist is already around.

Or maybe it’s all just a load of crap.

People for the past 2,000+ years have read Biblical prophecy and tried to apply them to the current events of the time. And for the past 2,000 years people have been wrong.

Christians would say, “Well that just means the return of Christ is closer than ever.” I suppose if he’s really there and is really coming, then that would be true. But the whole, “Behold, I’m coming quickly” thing reminds me of a story I heard as a child.

The story was called The Boy Who Cried Wolf and was about a kid who kept crying wolf because he thought it was funny to scare everyone and watch them panic. Then when a wolf really came, no one believed him.

I think “God” has lost a bit of credibility due to this same principal.

I know people will try and quote Psalms and say that 1,000 years is like a day to God, but that doesn’t mean squat. Why would God bother saying anything at all if he was going to speak in “God talk” and not speak plainly so we could understand? Wow, you know, that may be another topic for another entry.

Anywhose, I do think it’s be cool to see the world ending, stars falling from the sky, the moon turning to blood, and 1/3 of the earth being scorched. I still don’t think I’d be able to believe though, but then again the Bible predicts that.

Just think, if we all go out at the same time, no one will ever again have to suffer through outliving someone they love. There will be no winners. It’s just fast-forwarding to what is inevitable anyways, because the human race won’t live forever

A message to our enemies

Never fuck with one who’s had to fight for being free

Whether it’s one, or two, or three

We’ll take our pleasure out on making you believe

And I’m taking you out and taking you down, you’ll see

And I’m taking you out and taking you down with me

*

The pride of America is the fear that’s in your eyes

And your insecurity will undo you in time.”
