Ten days til doomsday, or the beginning of the end, or the rapture and according to the billboard by our place of residence, this is AWESOME news! Um, what? I suppose it's only awesome for those of you who believe they will be beamed into the giant paradise in the sky. But what about the rest of us? The non-believers will be left to toil within hell on Earth til the end of days. Well thanks for letting us know and attempting to warn us into submission.
Does this make me a non-believer? I wouldn't go as far as to say I am an atheist. Agnostic? Isn't the whole point to have faith and believe without having any sort of proof? I am in over my head here.
What I do know is that a lot of supposed 'Christians' seem to be hypocritical lunatics. But I suppose that may only be the ones that go out of their way to make themselves heard. And I can count on one hand the 'Christians' that haven't completely turned me off with their views.
I am not in any way knocking religious people. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs I just don't find it necessary for you to push yours onto mine. I know that as a messenger of God, or whatever, that is your job but your terror inducing billboards and bus stop advertisements may not be the best route to go about your business.
At least we can both look on the bright side. Only ten more days before you get to experience that which you have supposedly devoted your entire life and I will get some peace and quiet. Well, other than having to deal with the fiery pits of hell. That might be a bit loud and uncomfortable.
Alas, I am also a bit of a hypocrite in these matters for I have seen and experienced my own fair share of demons. Can you really have demons without the big guy in the sky?
Perhaps I shouldn't talk about the things in which I have no knowledge and do not entirely understand. I am bound to get some criticism but I felt like it was something I needed to get out. Such a taboo topic needs a bit of discussion, after all. Is this here post going to be the final nail in my Hell on Earth coffin?
All kidding aside, a small part of me remains a little terrified that the end really is near.
Been thinking about that hell on earth concept. Seems that they always say heaven above and hell below. and as above, so below. and refer to earth below. not sure they ever say exactly that hell is below the below that earth is, so in my mind I think earth was always meant as hell. adam and eve were cast out of eden, where everything is the perfect level of perfectness, ended up in a place that seems hellish from how it is described and is actually earth.
