I know some people are excited about this, and some people are not. Me personally, I literally cry every time this topic comes up. My biggest fear is death, I have 2 wonderful children, and a husband, whom I wouldn’t want to leave at all, and as funny, or stupid as it may sound, I have always told myself that I was going to live forever.
My husband has been listening to Harold Camping on the radio, and it actually makes me mad, because I would just like to listen to music and not think about the end of the world and people screaming in fear because they can’t do anything to save themselves or their loved ones.
It has gotten so bad, that I have already had 2 nightmares that the world was going to end. Both didn’t go as Harold Camping said the end of the world would go though…both of my nightmares involved a lot of water. Harold Camping, says that there will be earthquakes and fire.
To me, even though I am Catholic…I have always asked myself “Is God real?”
I know this may be wrong to some people, but I always had…and still have this doubt inside of me. I always ask myself, if he is real, how did he get here? Who created him, if he created everything else? How did he get his magic powers?
And then I think- Is the Bible real? Who really wrote it? Maybe they got the story wrong?
It’s just so confusing to me, we have no real proof that God is real, and yet we have no real proof that he isn’t real.
I guess, I just kind of stray towards the scientific view of things and think of evolution. And how all of us were created my single celled things and then became who we are today. Humans are always adapting to different things, so it is possible.
I am just at a total loss of thoughts and everything else when it comes to May 21st though. I don’t want it to happen, and honestly, I really don’t think it will happen, but if for some reason it does, you better bet, I will be cuddled up to my kids, crying my eyes out, and not letting go. (And here I go crying again).
I am a firm believer that the world won’t end until the sun burns out, or we have some kind of nuclear war, but still the thought of it ending no matter what happens, still scares me a lot.
People have predicted the end of the world for thousands of years, and yet we are still here. Even more interesting, Harold Camping, they guy who says that judgment day is May 21st of this year, predicted that Judgment day was going to be in September, 1994, yet he was wrong. He told everyone that is calculations could have been wrong, and that if it didn’t happen in 1994, then it would be in 2011.
See, in my opinion, I don’t think anyone can set dates like that. I mean, this may also go with my debate of if God is real or not, and about the Bible being real, but, Harold Camping, gets his dates through some mathematical calculations from dates in the Bible. Now, what if the Bible isn’t real, and just some random person made it up? How did the people who wrote the Bible know the exact dates events happened, and the exact words God said? It just all confuses me.
Also there is a verse in the Bible that states, no one will know the day nor the hour that God will return, and another one that states, he will come as a thief in the night.
Harold, states, that other verses in the Bible, contradict those, and that God is giving us clues. (Now mind you, Harold, interprets the Bible, and anyone can interpret it differently.
Like, Harold Camping interprets it and thinks he gets the date for the end of the world, and that God will give us clues, but when I do it, I get that, no one will know when the world ends, God isn’t going to give us clues, and ( I may be wrong, but) That the part that says, he will come as a thief in the night, means, he will come and take you away in the night…like if he thinks it’s your time to die, then he will come and get you, not destroy the whole world.
Also, just my input, what thief do you know, that gives clues that they are going to steal something, so people can figure it out?
I know a lot of people who don’t believe in this whole Judgment day thing, but then again, I also see a lot of people passing out papers and telling everyone that it is going to happen.
I don’t know, this is such a touchy subject for me to talk about, because I am so confused about everything, and being I have always been on the fence about if God was real or not, makes it even more confusing for me.
It’s just putting me in this whole emotional depression thing, and that’s bad.
I try to think of this whole thing as a joke. Because I don’t understand how (If God is real), he can bless you with children, and then just take them away from you like that. How he can make you fall in love with someone, and then take them away. I know a ton of people who are pregnant or just had babies, and to be, a baby was always a blessing, and a sign that the world will go on…so why would all of these people be pregnant, if the world was going to end?
I mean, this is only my opinion, I know everyone has own, but I just wanted to share mine, you can feel free to leave yours in a comment to this, or if you have anything else you would like to share.
