Yes.

At the risk of giving the "Dumb and Dumber" crowd here a chance to say "So you're saying there's a chance"

No one knows when life will end, not individually or our collective extinction, but it will happen. The difference is he bases nature on superstition, I dont.

Doomsday garbage is nothing more than self fulfilling narcissism, the problem is that the people who buy this crap often have serious weapons and can be as unassuming as a child molester.

Exactly. If someone came up to me in the street and told me I'm going to die, the ratio of my belief to the claim will vary depending on whether they're pointing a bible at me or a gun.
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.'

Their is no difference between any holy book and a gun, BOTH are weapons and both are used to kill people.

Well, if you throw a bible at someone that might kill the guy. Otherwise people find excuses for they nasty behaviour in just about everything. I guess the key word here is 'use' Big Grin

The world is just ending really reeeeally slowly

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
