With a film out covering alternative religious histories and widespread discussion of Mary Magdalene and the Knights Templar and other issues there probably isn't much shocking or upsetting (hopefully) to discuss anymore when it comes to religion.
As far as the End of Days that will probably happen when the robots decide we are inferior and decide to destroy us

Perfectly said.....fiction rarely predicts anything.
I wouldn't count the Bible as a "fiction" book.

Can't bite my lip any longer...It does have alot of real history in it but when they added all the hocuspocus supernatural stuff to it makes one wonder how much of it is made up...

I think the following belongs in this topic.
Family Grieves Again After Child's Remains Stolen
By ADAM EMERSON The Tampa Tribune
Published: Jul 9, 2006
TAMPA - Mattie Dale stepped slowly to the marbled tomb that once held her son, crying as she did when she buried him more than 30 years ago.
She sobbed as the minister led the mourners in choruses of "Amazing Grace." She sobbed as she received the lavender rose plucked off her son's tomb. She sobbed when she begged the thief who stole her son's remains to please bring them back.
"Have a heart, have a heart," she cried. "Just please return him. Just return my baby's remains. That's all I ask."
About 25 other family and friends shared her pain and disbelief as they gathered Saturday at Memorial Park Cemetery to memorialize Stevie Russell Dale.
They grieved when the 6-year-old was struck and killed by a motorist on May 2, 1975. Facing the marble vault that bears the image of a smiling "Little Stevie," they cried again Saturday and searched for an explanation of such a morbid crime.
In late June, police found the vault empty. Someone removed the 600-pound marble slab top and penetrated a metal container to get to the casket inside. The thief stole Stevie's skeleton, leaving behind only a few small bones.
Police think that voodoo, cult practices or Santeria may be linked to the theft, but have made no arrests.
Saturday's memorial service was open to the public, as the family wanted to draw attention to the case and encourage people with information to call police.
Michelle Patty, a nondenominational missionary who led the service, stood by the same vault and told Stevie's mother, 61, that "no matter what they're doing with it, they can't kill Stevie."
Mattie Dale's niece, Mary Adams, assured the mourners that "they might have taken his bones, but they did not take his spirit.
"But here we are again, saying goodbye."
The family plans to cremate and inter the small bones left behind in the same vault once police are finished with their investigation, Patty said. They also plan to meet with the tomb's manufacturer and ask why someone was able to access a double-sealed vault it took two years to save for.
"Whoever did this thing, it is way over for us today," Patty said. "Even if you never bring him back."
Stevie's father, Richard Dale, 70, expressed anger toward the thief, or thieves, who stole his son's remains. "If they can find him, just bring him to me. I'll do the rest," he said.
As he spoke to reporters, Mattie Dale made her way back to the black Cadillac that led the small funeral procession. The cars exited onto 22nd Street. The lavender roses remained on Stevie's empty tomb.

I agree that we will probably never know when the end will come. I do not know if man is capable of ending it himself with continuous usage of nuclear weapons. I could see a virus spreading or global warming. Maybe something will occur where the earth is no longer able to provide food for man. I doubt if we will ever know in our lifetime.

I believe no one can prove there is God, and no one can prove there isn't god, a creator of the universe. What everyone believes, they believe on faith (lack of indisputable, undeniable proof). Thus, all opinions on the subject are expressions of a type of faith.
My faith is in Scripture, which tells me that no one will know the hour or the day of the Rapture. But the second coming at the end of the Tribulation is timed precisely in Revelations, from the beginning with the Rapture, to take place at the end of 7 years.
To me, I'm not too worried about the 'end of the world', not that I don't care about the world. But from the sense that I am first responsible to bring myself into the proper relationship with my God, which then settles my eternal future, and sets me on the correct path of how to live my life.
It's great to wonder and theorize what will happen to the earth and the universe, but at some point in life, each man or woman hungers to know what will happen to them, personally, after they draw their last breath.

IMO,the bible is just a set of standards set by man and only man,to create order on earth and to not cause chaos on the world.. It is something that you can apply to your life to make it 'better'.But I think it's silly to live your life by a book full of metaphors which millions of others of the same faith have different views on their meanings. And you can't really trust a book that was compiled just a few hundred years ago,and pieces were ommited cause the counsil that decided what to put in it wanted them gone.There could be things that could change views in those ommited scriptures. If there is a God,he would totally understand if one decides not to follow completely in bible standards since they would just be following things that could be lies..There is no proof of authentication.Sure,the bible is good and it helps people live their lives. And also remember things change a lot in 2000 years,morals and actions.I am not trying to make anyone doubt their faith,cause whatever you believe in,if it makes your life better,you should carry on.. I just think too many people have been brought up being told what is the truth and they accept it blindly... anyway,just my opinion..

What about a short while back, when a simple infection meant amputation WITHOUT anesthetic, epileptics were considered demonic, violent crime rates soared above those today and NOBODY had any rights except VERY wealthy, major land holding (100,000+ acres), WHITE MALES. The days of our "Founding Fathers", often looked upon with nostalgia, now THOSE were some horrible conditions, and we were relatively "enlightened". And while I'm on the subject, surely you know most of the Founding Fathers were NOT Christian, they were Deists, BIG difference.
Thank you, Alicia!
Thank you Sandcrab & Alice! Well said.
