How's It Going To End? (end times content)

Sign in to disble this ad
Tom Waits' excellent song of the same name aside:

Inspired by the nutjob who keeps unsuccessfully predicting the rapture, how do you think the world is going to end?

We live in interesting times, and the possibilities are limitless. And seeing as there's nothing quite as self-absorbedly fascinating as predicting the curtain call of mankind, let's see what we've got...

Nukes - well, obviously. Any tin-pot despot with a couple of million in the bank can get some 2ndhand nukes and aim them at a neighbour. Duck and cover!

Asteroid strike - again, one of the favourites. The odds are astronomical but then again, look at the continued popularity of Nickleback.

Ecosystem/weather/climate-based meltdown - again, could happen. We've already had one ice age. NB if you feel the need to get on your soapbox about 'climate change', please take it elsewhere. This thread is for SERIOUS discussion about how we're all going to get eaten by zombies (see below).

Rapture - yes, yes. The favourite for anyone who's ever worn a sandwich board or watched Fox. Will we be smitten by the fist of an angry god? You decide.

Blown up/otherwise obliterated by uncaring aliens - deep down we all know they won't be sexy green ladies who say 'what is this earth thing called love?', a la Captain Kirk's private life.

Zombie virus - the hipster option. Thankfully they will not be able to move very fast due to their constrictively tight jeans.

General disease - government manufactured or otherwise. You can guarantee that if they discovered a dangerous flesh eating virus that could, incidentally, lower the cost of producing flatscreen TVs, you know that bad boy ain't going to be made illegal.

Other - surprise me. Poll as soon as I can work out how to make one.

well there's no end in sight.

just the end of the age, and most likely our over consuming lifestyle.

i see America going through a slow grinding loss of buying power, and hyperinflation. then civil unrest, possible martial law

while also experiencing random weather disasters and most likely more false flag events

either way, less wealth and less freedom

no more vacations and more homeless and in jail.

by martial law i mean in select areas for select periods of time only - NEVER across the board, they couldnt control that and the uprising would stomp them out for sure

All matter will eventually be sucked into a few isolated black holes.

I put other, because I'll probably die from suicide or homicide before the world ends, thus it won't make any difference to me.

God gives us a play-by-play in the Bible...particularly in the Book of Revelation and Daniel. Wild thing is, these events are described in detail before they occur in our space-time. Of course, this is quite easy for the Creator of all the dimensions to disclose to us!
