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)

Just sayin'.
Can we vote for a new God in 2012?
Remember a venus transit occurs every 100 some years, what if something comes in an eclipse with earth every thousands of years, that humanity dont know about, only the ancients knew. Nobody in the world right now is living more than 130+ years. We dont even know the cosmos yet.

Maybe the Hindu Deva lord named Agni has attached himself to you and wants to preserve you through the calamity that he believes will befall earth in the near future.
Did you get any strange messages from Deep Impact?

If they calculated all the future solar eclipses and transits of Venus then they must have recorded the occasional rare drive-bys. I wonder if there's a sun cycle pause every few thousand years that allows unwanted guests into our neighborhood.

but when the divine portion began to fade away, and became diluted too often and too much with the mortal admixture, and the human nature got the upper hand, they then, being unable to bear their fortune, behaved unseemly, and to him who had an eye to see grew visibly debased, for they were losing the fairest of their precious gifts; but to those who had no eye to see the true happiness, they appeared glorious and blessed at the very time when they were full of avarice and unrighteous power. Zeus, the god of gods, who rules according to law, and is able to see into such things, perceiving that an honourable race was in a woeful plight, and wanting to inflict punishment on them, that they might be chastened and improve, collected all the gods into their most holy habitation, which, being placed in the centre of the world, beholds all created things. And when he had called them together, he spake as follows-*

We'll you convinced me to stock up on water. My emergency supply was running rather low and your post motivated me to go to the store.
I purchased the movie Deep Impact a number of years ago and I watch it at least once a year. I enjoy it every time as if it was the first. The depth of the movie is amazing compared to its contemporary movie Armageddon. I am mesmerized every time Biederman impacts into the Atlantic ocean resulting in the giant tsunami wave.
The self sacrificing actions of the news anchor and shuttle crew is what makes the movie so special. I fear if there ever was a global impending doom facing earth, the majority of the populous would turn against each other. Nobody knows their neighbor anymore. Selfishness runs rampant in this world and it will be the downfall of mankind.
I wonder if there's a meeting of overlords beyond this realm sealing the fate of errant man. This was true in Plato's Atlantis. The last part of Plato's Critias reads as follows:

The rest of the Critias has been lost.
Thanks for providing the name of the Hindu god of Venus. I looked Shukra up on wikipedia. I'm not into astrology but your comments are interesting.

to the people criticizing god, you have lowered yourselfs amensly . you do realize that you are just as bad as those who believe/worship a "god". its childish, immature and pathetic to still see this behavior. when will mankind STFU, have a good look around and smell the roses.
We believe and worship YHWH and we're childish? Well good then i say, because he wants us to run to him like little children.
Oh and, you just criticized the people who believe in YHWH and criticizing us is the same as criticizing him, so by your own definition you are childish, immature and pathetic.
Prophecies given 2500-3000 years ago are coming to pass right now as we live and breathe, and everything going on right now in the M.E. was foretold long ago and it's playing out just like that. If you really want to know the truth backed up by archeaology, i refer you to my signature link "archeaology and the truths of the holy bible".
Have a nice day!
