If I Was Still An Evangelical

[nailit]

If I was still an evangelical christian, I would believe that these were the end times.
Ukraine possible war,
Covid and possible quantum tattoos
rising cost of living
etc.


Much the same as when I was 15/16 at school and the threat of nuclear attack
cold war
and the rising cost of living.
(Oh, and AIDS)

//Nailit, because you sound somewhat bitter and unhappy with the state of the world - a world made by humans.//

Remind me on not to partake of News or Politics then?
Or anything that may interest me or that I may have an opinion about that differes from yours

[nailit]

//Oh dear. Bye. //
Time for sleepy byes already?

Night night Doug!
Sleep tight!

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

Even Dickens knew that.

[bednobs]

still dont know what a quantum tattoo is then if its not whats in te artcle, what is it?

[nailit]

Sod off tills...
Say what 'YOU' really mean.....

[Ellipsis]

So, to be clear, you're not an evangelical Christian, so you don't believe that these are the end of times.

But we should be worried for, and/or wary of, evangelical Christians who may believe that right now.

Is that it?

//If I was still an evangelical christian,//

Go on admit it - you are still , in your heart and soul .

Stop resisting it - tell the devil in your head that you are going to break the hold he has on you

[Mamyalynne]

It makes perfect sense, we are somewhere between the beginning and the end.

[Tilly2]

Not the response I anticipated Nails but what I really think is that you are right.
Every second, minute, hour, day, week, month and decade has its ups and downs, each of which could be interpreted as 'the end of times'.
'The end is nigh' is a recurring, ever present theme.

... and I'm not really sure why this is in Religion and Spirituality.

[Mamyalynne]

Not heard quantum dots mentioned for a couple of years now, did they ever come into regular usage?

[Mozz71]

Nailit, if Douglas' link was such drivel, why not link to an explanation you do agree with instead of sniping at all and sundry? I've never heard of "quantum tattoos" either.

[Canary42]

The time I was most frightened of the approach of the End of the World was during the Cuba crisis. I can't recall being that terrified since, but of course one does become anaesthetised by frequent recurrences of such critical situations.

[DTCwordfan]

Define the beginning and then the end - my electricity supply perhaps, shocking that this may sound. Forget AIDs - under control, I would surmise - now tattoos, they are a mark of the times...

[Khandro]

nailit, I wonder if you bore God as much as you bore me.

[Atheist]

Nailit, I think you are an evangelical, you've just changed sides; like Saul became Paul. It's your nature to fight for what you believe. My preference is to argue for what you believe, not to fight.

[archibaldy]

War, pestilence, disfigurement, and a 150% rise in the price of Asda Smart Price Pasta, it's got all the signs of impending Armageddon.

[Paigntonian]

So if they weren't the end times when you were 15,but you thought they were, what makes you think it's the end of times now? It really is terribly silly.

[Paigntonian]

I thought it was the end of times when Kylie turned 50.

[Atheist]

Anything that has the word 'quantum' in it is almost certainly a conspiracy nutjob job (unless it's a bona fide science paper).

Quantum healing
Quantum therapy
Quantum dog-food
Quantum vibrations

Clickbait for eager yet gullible know-nothing searchers after quick and easy answers to life's questions.

I believe we are very close to the Rapture of the Church. (Google it if you dont know what means)
Those who were alive when Israel was reborn in 1948 are getting fewer and fewer
