I have a god damn amazing idea.?
The bible says that the end of the world would happen at the point where everyone least expects it. We should keep talking about it so it would never happen.
Who else is with me on this one?

Ah!!! Now this is a VERY paradoxical issue! Let's follow your logic- If we EXPECT the end of the world, it cannot come because it should only happen when we LEAST expect it to occur yes?
The problem is, because we all expect it we know it CAN'T happen because it IS expected - which is why it HAS to happen as we THINK expecting it STOPS it being possible and as a result it is NOT expected!
(You could go on to say 'So it CAN'T happen because by expecting it to happen it is believed it can't happen making it theoretically HAVE to happen and by realizing this problem it is really expected and therefore can't happen.') This paradoxical arguement can go on forever and ever switching conclusions from CAN'T happen to MUST happen endlessly... and where does the buck stop? Whenever the world ends -but would it??? LOL!

That's an awesome idea. We could create a class in the public school system that predicts a date for the end of the world, and make it a constant point of discussion. As long as people keep talking about it, it'll never ever happen. Wonderful!

Oh, if that's true, the world is never going to end.
There's always SOME nut talking about the end of the world being imminent.

I've got a better idea.
Let's not pay the "prophesies" made by Bronze Age mythologies any attention.
Which means that I won't even bother asking you to point out which verse actually makes that claim.

i don't comprehend the relationship between zebras, authors, gays, and homeless women folk. Authors write what they comprehend. in case you're proclaiming to being a nihilist, and it seems which you're, write approximately that. in case you experience there is not any meaning to existence, why write a e book.
