Global warming can lead to another ice age...

I don't know how in details but it can somehow...

Bugger that: go to http://www.telltalegames.com/ and actually buy the new Sam & Max games.

Nate: It's not so much about the fighting religious wars but more about the ignorance religion brings along with it. For example; if we would have another great plague kind of epidemic which would quickly start to wipe out half the planet, you just know there's going to be a few idiots saying it's god's will and that we should let it happen. Add that in with a country like America where church and state or no longer two different things and all health services promptly have a stand down order and orders not to do any research to stop the plague. Result: entire country will go extinct, slowly dragging every religious sick guy with them until only less then a tenth of the worlds population is left over who are not stupid enough to want to die for some book and did do some research and found a way to stop it. Then when it's over the remaining people will start a nuclear war over all the countries that have been wiped out and will kill the rest of the population. Then the world will be empty and the second coming of Jezus will come. He'd look around and he'd be like;

"Well damn... DAD! These people are dead too! Take me to the next planet!"

Havoc

Seriously. No.

You really don't know any religious people do you? Being religious is not mutually exclusive with intelligence. In fact, some of the most intelligent people I know are extremely religious. In addition, most religions in the world follow some sort of "God helps those who helps themselves" principle. People are commanded to seek medical and any other type of help they can get.

What's more, I think you'll find that your average person is a lot less strict than even they think they are. The moment their health or comfort is threatened, you'll see how quickly they compromise their values. That's precisely what I meant about the increasing atheism of the western world.

I did!
 
I have the first part-Culture shock! And all the demos! Though I can't pass Abe Lincoln must die, I am stuck at that guard dude.

Yea but I'm not talking about present day religion. I'm talking about what it will evolve in over the course of a few hundred years if the current trend keeps up.

That scenario sounds exactly like the one in The Stand by Stephen King.

Reading, are we?

artos 04-14-2007 10:57 AM

umm. i could wright you all a novle about how we are gonna wipe humanity off the map . . . but to summerise i say . . . YES!!!!

We will kill ourselves through our greed and stupidity. I say thank God, humans dont deserve this planet and we should have never been created, as all we do is destroy and take without returning, so maybe I should curse God as He or She made these monsters:Humans

You know, not all humans are monsters. Plus, how boring would life be if everything was peaceful?

Rexy, you're a bitch. Calm down.
Havoc, you're sick.

Havoc, you're sick.

I hope to God that's not serious, or you're a dead man.

I notice Cullen is no longer the guy he was when he first came. Where did the goodness go?

Ah, finally somebody throws a snotty response at Rexy. Yes you are.
And kitties tend to chuck up loads of sick on your furniture so I can't blame Havoc for trying(says he's been paying attention to his cats).

Fort-whatever your name is, your a human, too, though you talk like you're
the great Creator who stares down on everyone.

Mitsur, Cullens becoming a man, and a man needs to expand brain occasionally.

Uh, it was kinda serious, I guess. I'm just really sick of the stuff the goes down here. Where did the goodness go, exactly. It's changed so much. Mitsur, you can attest to that.
The reason that I said that to Rexy is because, Rexy, you are a bitch.
And I said that to Havoc because he is now admitting to it. And whether or not it's true, he's wanting to make it sound true. Which is sick.

Havoc 04-14-2007 12:16 PM

Why are we suddenly talking about Rexy being a bitch and my sexuality being sick?

Havoc

snuzi 04-14-2007 12:43 PM

I haven't the slightest clue. This topic has been taking some wild left turns lately, hasn't it?

At least he doesn't f*ck Tigers. That's the reason for mankind being wiped out.

Havoc ****ing Tigers. :p

That's because you f*ck tigers...

That's not what I've been told...

Neh it's good. Especially with a tiger it's a lot rougher, tighter and more intense. You should really try it sometime, you won't want it any other way ;).

But yea, getting back on topic might help. Mankind will kill itself indeed.

Havoc

Ten characters.

Fortesque13 04-14-2007 01:39 PM

NOT!
 
I'm not the guy who looks down...
I'm the guy who actually sees, not only looks!

snuzi 04-14-2007 01:44 PM

What the hell are you talking about? That had absolutely nothing to do with what anyone said.

THERE! it does say exactly what I meant...

snuzi 04-14-2007 01:56 PM

Again, you should have clarified what the hell you were talking about in the first place.

Fortesque13 04-14-2007 01:59 PM

I'll try in the future...
I'm still new here...

Rex Tirano 04-14-2007 02:22 PM

Haha, this is all my fault and I think it's rather funny. :p

We should all stop being naughty and get back ontopic [that's to myself more than the rest of you!]. And I think it's fantastic that I've been called a bitch!

I just noticed this...
How? Does global warming use reverse psychology?
Just kidding...
Maybe you could post a link if you read this somewhere?

Patrick Vykkers 04-14-2007 04:23 PM

Because the LORD Al Gore (SAW) has warned us of our sins, and of Gaia's righteous vengeance! Unless yee repent for your SUVS, thou shalt burn in the dome of fire-ice forever and ever! Burn!

Seriously? Manbearpig causes ice caps to melt. Ice caps spread out and cause water to get cold around Terra. The End.

You can't get mad at someone just because they have a different view.
Well, you can, but then you look like a total asshat.

skillyaslig 04-14-2007 05:00 PM

We will kill ourselves, thats the only thing that is certain in life.

Fortesque13 04-14-2007 05:36 PM

Not possible...

Okay... That's not exactly possible!
Fire burns ice, ice turns into water and extiguishes the fire...
HA!

Patrick Vykkers 04-14-2007 06:41 PM

Err. umm.. you are a Zionazi KKKapitalist AmeriKKKan agent of the oil industry. Logic is a plot of the Islamophobic neocon jooos!

Fortesque13 04-14-2007 06:45 PM

What?
 
Whatever,but I'm not American...
And I don't even know what capitalist means!
Due to my age I can't be an agent, and I have nothing to do with any kind of industry except gaming industry.

EDIT:I think someone should close this topic...
Too many bad things have started happening to me since I opened it...
Maybe I've incurred the wrath of God or something...
But take into consideration that I'm an atheist, so I'll let you think why it could've possibly driven me into believing...
This topic has made too much evil start happening to me...

What?! The current trends towards atheism and heresy? Just because some European countries have an increasing muslim population and the US has a very vocal fundamentalist Christian minority, doesn't mean the rest of the world is the same.

And if people keep spamming this place up I will be forced to close threads and hand out warnings. Even to mods.

Fortesque13 04-14-2007 07:00 PM

GO ON!!!
 
READ THE EDIT ABOVE AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO!!! I WILL BE MOST THANKFUL FOR IT! YOU COULD POSSIBLY SAVE MY LIFE!
