How does one NOT consider God in times like this?

[Nobu]

Funny you should say this. That is partly what spurred my decision to make this thread. All the mega church pastors are hiding and completely in denial about this potentially being the beginning of the end.

What makes you say this is the end of the world? Do you think this is the worst disaster the world has ever seen?

People always say that about every major disaster, since literally thousands of years. "Oh, this time is different. This one fits the prophecy fr fr this time"

just stressing yourself out and others for nothing.

bad shyt happens, not every tragedy is the end of the world.

If God does exist he clearly doesn't care....and that might be worse.

Didn’t he create all that thou ?

he created this world and humans but he gave humans free will. The state of this world reflects the decisions, sins and sick minds of humans who do all of this without him in mind.

T3he problem is that most of the people that do believe in god only has read one book

 

[HabitualChiller]

God honestly sounds like a walking hasty generalization. Just because this one village is on some other shyt means that the rest of civilization is on their bullshyt and needs to be destroyed.

Edit: Matter of fact, isn't that why he was written to be much nicer in the new testament? People wouldn't fukk with God at all if he was on his old shyt.

Nevermind. I'll save this post for later.

i believe we are all gods or have some form of connecting power to god(as we think we know it as) but we're humans that have our own little universe that can interact with other universes , usually these worlds can not escape the universal laws of life like eg. being born in a war torn country, getting cancer at 2 years old, being born blind etc etc

life is what it is and it just seems like humas are bored so they create these mythical god like books and pass them down for generations , sure , there is a higher power but if you have been living long enough or have done your research then it shouldn't come to you as a surprise that we are the higher power being beaten and dumbed down spiritually , we are gods living in chaos basically

Thread is starting to unravel so I might as well mention that I believe that the demiurge (gnostic reference) has deceived the whole world BUT he knew/knows the future.

And black folks are his puppets. 400 years didn't specify the number of days

Jesus/Yashua Christ is King of kings Lord of lords.

I dont think its far fetched to imagine egyptians not regarding or adhering to the rules of their gods. To err is human. I mean even the israelites worshiped a golden calf after they witnessed the parting of the red sea.

The point I'm stressing is that its normal human behavior to cry out to a god in distress. Others have been doing this for millennia. Its one of the essential parts of the human experience. So within the context of OP's question, pointing that out doesnt really provide support to the argument of the existence of a higher being

And you can point out that its normal behavior to cry out to a god in distress. I can, myself, point out that these same people who will be crying out when in distress, mocked/ignored when life was on the up and up. When the economy eventually crashes, when people turn on each other because of lack of available resources, these same people who were mocking/ignoring the Creator, will be crying out to Him.. And at that time, they'll have to see for themselves if He'll answer them or ignore/mock them like they did Him (Heck, I'll have to see myself besides the mock/ignore part)....

Within the context of the thread, my answer is most people wont decide to have faith till they're in that corner. Till someone(s) is at their doorstep demanding something with the threat of death. I promise you that most of the brehs in here wont be having the same energy as time goes on because its only getting worse from here on out...

Most of us haven’t been living right. But for those that have he’ll make this situation work in their favor, in the end.

What about the 4 year old that died yesterday? They were living wrong?

Its the end of a kingdom not the world. And out of this end, will come the people the Creator chose to lead the world...

Meh it’s not just a few people. Our society is quite fukked up and with each passing year we’ve been descending into a society shot to hell. Since this has popped off, that dumb noise about trans, lgb, perversions, the narcissism, the idolizing of material shyt, the broken families and people putting their work and other priorities above their families and marriages—the mass shootings. The very fact that Trump is our fukking president. A lot of these things have gone out the window now, people are too focused on this.

I mean really we could go on and on but those of us old enough to see the contrast between the last decade and the decades before? We saw shyt going to shyt.

I'm not saying Trump is good (he's a moron), but in the grand scheme of things, most of the stuff you mentioned pales in compared to human history. Slavery existed for over 300 years in this country. Things are relatively peaceful here.
