It seems like a cop-out. Why bother caring about problems like global warming, pollution, human rights violations in China, or starving children in Africa when it's all going to be over soon anyway? <br /><br />What a terrible mindset to have!<br /><br />These end of the world beliefs promote nothing but escapism. People desire to get to heaven so badly they don't even perceive the hell we've created here. Instead of focusing on making it to heaven, we should be working towards creating our own heaven here on Earth. We might never fully succeed, but that would not make the effort worthless. <br /><br />Personally, I do not believe God put us here for us to do nothing more than await the end of the world. Our job is to help those less fortunate than us, and to practice compassion, forgiveness, and mercy. Doing nothing while waiting for the end of the world seems rather selfish.Sammyhttp://scientificuniversalist.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760108714983042577.post-81604022557822942212011-03-23T09:54:25.730-04:002011-03-23T09:54:25.730-04:00Wow!
