humanity has failed massively and thus, the 'end times' are coming.
All such predictions made in the past have failed miserably and will continue to fail again.
They will continue to hold up their bibles and scream the loudest, while humanity still goes on its way, curing diseases, expanding the scale and scope of technology advances into all segments of society, and trying as a whole, to improve humanity's lot.
The human race is exploring far beyond the boundaries of this solar system. We've landed on the moon. We landed on Mars. We advanced the cause of medicine to far beyond imagination of even 50 years ago. We are, for the most part, feeding the vast majority of the human race when just even 50 years ago, there were doomsday predictions that a population count that we have today (7 billion plus) would massively starve etc.
Technology is leaping ahead regardless of such dire predictions, in such ways that the limits of technology are being reached in that we are reaching the limits of how many microprocessors we can cram onto a chip now, that a person can be wired up, and control an artificial hand, drive a vehicle, design something via a hologram, etc. all with their mind.
I refuse to ever believe those that preach doom and gloom, instead of preaching of the goodness of the human heart and abilities.
What I do know, from historical accounts, that those who predict 'end times' without any evidence, without a shred of truth, will in turn, face their own 'end times'. Society will come to view such doomsayers as crackpots, and will dump them, as well as their followers who believed in them, into the trash bin of history. They will lose their fortunes, reputations, everything, in staking everything they have and own, into these beliefs, that were sadly espoused by others for their own personal gain. I see a current wave of such followers today. You all know whom I speak of.
What I do believe in, is the human race. I believe that we're on the cusp of even greater things to be accomplished and done, and we yet to see the amazing things and accomplishments that will be done. I believe that the vast majority of us are good, and decent people. I believe that we can overcome everything.
I refuse to participate in any of the farce that some of our religious institutions are/have participated in (the Dark Ages, etc., the Spanish inquisition, and other horrible acts against humanity that the church of then participated in). We are still struggling to overcome those dark days.
