Alright, first you don't have to be so sarcastic. You can't treat me like a jerk like that!
I don't believe in your god, I'm not an idiot. ...
I welcome the "lights going out"! Can't happen too soon for me. But what if it's a war?
How long will your bottles of water last? It's not up to me to teach you about survival here.
My point is, that there are non-christians preparing, some are better prepared that others. If it was a religious thing, don't you think that this god or that one would be overtly preparing their own?
The common sense to prepare is not inspired by any god other than your own intelligence to look at the world and realize stuff is going to get tough soon.

Just sayin'.
Can we vote for a new God in 2012?
Do you even know what is EMP?
Creator is preparing you for a major event

Where did I blame you for "making" me believe in your god?
When you patronize someone by saying things like
Do you even know what is EMP?
Or generally treating someone like they're a twit is being a jerk.
Your basic question in the OP was if people thought others agreed with you that your
Creator is preparing you for a major event
Simple answer: no, I disagree with you

Could you imagine what it would be like even after all these events had stopped? Every city would probably look like Godzilla went on a five day Jack Daniels bender. Honestly... I think I'd rather be dead.
And besides, believing in god you'd be going to heaven, right? So why are you so worried about survival?edit on 11-6-2012 by Xaphan because: (no reason given)

Know what, that is a great question.. If you believe in god and believe you are going to heaven when all this takes place, why would you worry about stocking up and sitting out a catastrophe? Wouldn't you be raptured anyway if you were so sure you were on the good list? I'm not sure if you are meant too bring your own snacks though..

I'm not going to knock you for believing in god, its your choice, but you have contradicted yourself to a point here.. If you believe in god, you shouldn't need supplies..

Good Morning ,
First of all some of you might think this is funny or stupid, but this what I have been thinking. Take it seriously or as a joke, I wont mind, its your choice.
This past few weeks, I have been shopping a lot. I mean a lot (Food). Rarely I do this, but I couldn't seem to figure out why. Well yesterday I went to shop for a just one thing in particular and ended up buying a lot more. A lot of you people think this is normal , but I dont think so. Let me explain you why.
You guys probably think, I bought a lot of junk food , like cookies, chips, candy , soda, and etc.
But from past two weeks, I have been storing up on Gatorade, powerade, vitamin water, water, and packets of rice. So far I have 30 bottles of powerade and Gatorade combined, a 24 pack of water, 4 bottles of vitamin water and 7 packets of rice. My mom is like why are you buying this much stuff, my whole family is wondering, I didn't know either, but I told them i am going to use it if i go play basketball or something. Yesterday again, I went again and bought more drink and than it kicked to me. I taught about it my self, why am I buying all this food. Than thinking about it, I was like what if something or someone is preparing for something to come. Like I am storing all this food and beverage for some event. Just think about it, everything I have bought can be saved for a year or more. Looking the expiration dates on the gatorade, its shows jan 06, 2013. So its good for 8 months or so. Bottled water has shelf life of 2 years or so.
Last night, before i was going to sleep, I went on YouTube, and I put in search three days of darkness. Surprisingly I have seen all videos of three of days of darkness on YouTube, but I just saw a new one. I clicked on it to view it.
Please watch the video and deff look at time 6 min to 7 min clip
She went through the same thing. I dont know if this is a preparation few people are going through, but I am just putting it out there, I mean stocking up on food and beverages will not hurt you, its not like your wasting money. I am not telling you to go buy some videos or books and waste money, but this is something you can use or need in the future if nothing even happens. But if something does, hey go down to your basement and you will have the stuff you need. Me personally will take this a Lil bit seriously and I am planning to buy another case of water and leave it in the basement.
Let me know if you guys feel the same about this topic. Take care all of you.edit on 11-6-2012 by storm2012 because: (no reason given)

It sounds like you're a Hindu.
this is an English speaking site based in America, so the assumption I think when you said god, is that you meant the christian god.
Not that it really makes any difference I guess...
I still don't think that any god (if any exist) really gives a rat's how you shop.edit on 6/11/2012 by Chamberf=6 because: (no reason given)
