My only real concern about religious people is that they will group into a 'one world religion' of the type that the globalist new world order types and their minions (e.g., Pope Francis) are trying to cultivate.

In 'religious people', I include those significant fraction of my countrymen (here in the U.S.) who consider themselves atheist/agnostic but who I consider to be of the 'scientism' persuasion. Most of the 'greens' are distinctly in this category.
...

The Book of Revelations actually talks about a forced one world religion ruled by the anti-christ just before the second coming of Jesus Christ

So I've heard in one form or another.

Not being superstitions, I have a hard time believing that there exist 'profits' or people who could see into the future, but I will say that there are some very interesting predictions logged down in various religion's texts which seem fairly stunning when mapped to reality. I have two main hypothesis on this:

1) Man's behavior has not changed a great deal for a long time. This make a situation were a bright person can appear to 'predict' situations which occur all the time anyway. Example: individuals achieve positions of power, consolidate it through a finite set of means, then do increasingly shitty things because they can.

2) Modern engineers designing a strategy to do some of the aforementioned 'shitty things' might decide that rather than trying to convince people of something brand new, it would be easier and more effective to leverage something they already believe due to, say, the teachings of a popular religion. In this way one might find a number of 'self fulfilling prophesies.'

prophet = profit? Novel concept...

It's not hard to predict things like war, famine, plagues... those things happen on a regular basis... I challenge you to find a 50-year period in all of history, where there was not a war somewhere

All profit on earth is used up and disappears sooner or later. But Heavenly profit lasts forever, because Heaven lasts forever.

God wants many people with Him in Heaven. If He didn't care, he wouldn't have told Adam and Eve, and Noah and his family, to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

God knew people would die. He knew that not all people would be saved. That's why He wanted so many, so He would have many friends in Heaven. After all, God is a Big Guy, He needs lots of friends.

Save an atheist, and God will reward you.

Cool

I think God loves Atheists. We don't bother him at all.

He probably hates you, all Christians, asking for help, whining, begging, every fucking day!!! I would be annoyed with all the begging.
I'd fix them by making them Atheists so that I don't have deal with this constant begging and praying. Who has time for all that when you have other universes to create and destroy. He is a busy man, stop bothering him. Wink

Of course God loves atheists. There was a touch of atheism in Adam and Eve. That's why God saved them. If atheists didn't exist, God couldn't love or save them, right?

Riiiiiight? Why did he need to save them, save them from what, themselves? They were doing fine without God. He fucked it all up with the talking snake and the apples.

Adam and Eve tribes already colonized America, Asia and Europe by the time God showed up with his garden and a talking snake. Grin

Wow! At least you were speaking more or less coherently before.

Cool
