Yeah, lol, retiring/end of the world, totally legit analogy........
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Why bother praying if God has a plan anyway.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

For you, not for me. Don't worry. I'm not planning on setting off any nuclear weapons or anything in order to make it happen.
That's not my worry. But people who think signs of the end are good, and who don't think the end is far are unlikely to make good decisions for the long term health of either humanity or the earth generally.
I don't think the end is a good idea and not because I'm afraid of judgement. I'm afraid, sure even, that it will simply be oblivion for everyone, whether they believe in god or not.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Then I'll thank you to stop praying for my salvation. There's nothing broken about me that I want you to fix, even if that was going to do it. Whether it was your intention or not, I find such inferences of superiority quite offensive.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

That's not my intention at all. I pray for myself all the time, but I'll not speak of it again.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

No! It is forbidden to say the name Jehovah!
Jehovah must never be said..
Jehovah must never be typed.

Why wouldn't you want to put on a suicide bomb and blow up the infidels if you expect eternal happiness after that?
