Get In The Ark Before It Is Too Late!!!

[Revelation777]

The Four Horsemen are some of the most badass beings in the Bible... At least as depicted in other fictitious works based on the Bible. What are the biblical verses related to the Horsemen? What do they say?

Rev 6:1 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, "Come!"
Rev 6:2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
Rev 6:3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"
Rev 6:4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
Rev 6:5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.
Rev 6:6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!"
Rev 6:7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"
Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

Genesis 9:11 '...Never again will there be a flood to destroy the Earth...'

Which way will you have it, Rev? They can't BOTH be right.

Dearest Atheist Friends,
Jesus warned us of how things would be at the end of the age.

He described things that have happened for as long as there have been human societies. What he 'prophesied' was so common that people have been using his words to determine that "now is the end" since something like the 1500s, if not earlier.

It's mildly depressing that after centuries of continued progress despite our failings, there are still people who prefer to focus on the failings to push an agenda that should have been shelved thousands of years ago, when the first "end of the age" expectations failed to materialize.

[Creed of Heresy]

Boru, you got that a little askew.
He said He would never again destroy the earth with WATER.

So is he going to destroy it with fire?

Well, all astronomic models show that we're not in immediate danger of being smacked by a piece of fuckhuge apocalyptic space-dirt, and if it were to come to pass that it is guaranteed that we're going to be sometime soon, I'm pretty sure our most brilliant scientists would be able to devise a method of diverting it. Wouldn't be cheap or easy but with guys like Neil deGrasse Tyson running amok, I'm pretty sure we'd overcome such an obstacle.

Besides, the world's not NEARLY as bad as it was, say...70 years ago?

Jesus walked on water and God destroyed a couple cities with his fire and brimstone, cities whose populations numbered ~2000 people.

Mankind invented something that could let us do this to our own cities.



Could. And we did.



Twice.



First time killed over a hundred thousand human beings. Second time killed another thirty-five thousand.

Those two bombs were the weakest of that class of weapons that we've built. Nowadays...





The weapon in the second image in this post had the power to hit with the force of 21 kilotons (that's 21,000 tons) of TNT. That nuke that sits upon the Minuteman ICBM there?

The force of its explosion is that of 350 kilotons (350,000 tons) of TNT. And that missile can load three at a time. One missile can deliver over a megaton (one million tons) of explosive force. That is not even taking into consideration the sheer heat that such an explosion would cause.

Man is a much more terrifying entity than god. If the god of the bible existed, he would look upon mankind...

And then he would shit himself in terror.

Does FIRE work better?

Fire and Ice
By Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Thanks buddy. Had a mouthful. Got to clean tea off my desk now

[Cyberman]

What is all this; silly season already? Wow, that shit comes round quick!

Seriously, what is it with all the fire 'n' brimstone lately? Don't tell me you've run out of proofs already, Rev! Didn't you promise us seven? Shot your bolt too soon? I understand. Happens to the best of us, buddy. Just don't make a habit of it.

[Cyberman]

There was a great evil in the world back then just like there is today. Read newspaper.

So your god's Final Solution To The Great Evil Question did fuck all, basically.

It must be a boat made from chemically impregnated, fire resistant wood as advertised by the born again chemical industry.


Speaking of which, science says life has 500 million - 2.8 billion more years before ending in drought, earth has 6 billion more years before ending in fire, and all creation has >>100 trillion years before ending in ice.

I trust these more than the likes of you.

A fitting metaphor, to ask us to cram into a boat made of asbestos lest we suffer and die.
