RE: There is little time.

I'm going to make an end of the world prediction that is 100% guaranteed to come true:
Some time, in the future, life on this planet will cease to exist. Sorry, I can't give any more details than that at this time.
I do have to wonder about the mindset of those who obsess about the end of the world. I mean, are their lives so crappy that they wish the entire world would be destroyed? Or are they waiting for the end of the world so they can get to heaven and finally try alcohol, sex, drugs, and all that other stuff they're forbidden from enjoying here on Earth?

Obsession with heaven could be interpreted as a de-valuation of this world based on a hatred of life. Dreams of the end times accompanied by feelings of happiness could be seen as wish fulfilment in the form of revenge against life and the world. So yes, a person who hates this world enough to be obsessed with a "better" world beyond this one is often miserable in this life.

I didn't think you could be out-crazied Frodo ... and I was wrong.
These last couple months - you have definitely been out-crazied by your fellow devoted brothers.

I was considering it, but then the FSM came to me last night & told me you're full of shit.

You're nearly right as I too have been having visions for years. You've misinterpreted this visitor as an Angel because of your deeply religious views. He is in fact an ambassador from a more advanced and spiritual race (so, sort of an angel I guess) who is gently preparing the human race for it's next evolutionary and spiritual leap where we make contact properly for the first time and are welcomed into the Galactic Federation as, unfortunately, very minor and protected members. But hey, at least we get to be part of something much bigger.

Do you realize that the word "fact" actually has a dictinionary meaning? And sane people actually know what that meaning is when they use the word?
"In fact" is not just a reflexive utterance like "Gesundheit", appropriate for the circumstances even if you have no idea what it meant.

Why is it that infinitely intelligent creators and superintelligent aliens always pick people who have the lowest credibility to act as their spokesperson.
It'd be like amnesty international picking joseph kony to be their new spokesperson.
