I am tempted to call the religious community, "Stupid." But I would be dead wrong:

religion, jihad, atheism, crusades

It is now possible for religious Holy Men to be so smart as to devise apocalyptic weapons and still believe using them will please their gods. This in order to bring on the  Messiah to pass judgment upon what's left of Earth. The secular world believes these men and their  fatalistic beliefs as to be insane. The religious believe those  who hold these beliefs are Men  of perfect faith.

 

Christian vs Muslim violence in Egypt~today. Just a few extremists?

In an attempt to square bigoted ancient religious beliefs with modernity, the religious, even  on Newsvine, speak in a form barley recognizable as any sort of religion. Which may suggests  with some luck, a hasty entry into the mass grave of mytholgy.

What will we do if an Islamist regime, which grows dewy-eyed at the mere mention of paradise, ever acquires long-range nuclear weaponry? Much of the world's population could be annihilated on account of religious ideas that belong on the same shelf with Batman ~ Sam Harris

Rank on Rank

This in order to bring on the Messiah to pass judgment upon what's left of Earth. The secular world believes these men and their fatalistic beliefs as to be insane.

What the secular world believes about believers is not most believers' uppermost concern.

Nevertheless, the return of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, is not up to any man. Neither can any human being bring it about. Christians are not afraid of the Apocalypse, nor should they be, but I don't know any who would bring about nuclear annihilation or WW3 in the vain attempt to bring it to pass. Namely, because it wouldn't. Nowhere in the Bible are Christians told it would.

In fact, the world will end exactly as foretold in the book of Revelation. In God's time and in God's way. Not man's. Not any man's. We can take comfort in that. Repent and believe the Gospel.

It's already been 2000 years. How much time are people willing to give it before they realize it's a bunch of bull?

The labels educated theist and religious scientist are oxymorons.

well, i agree with Rank...and he, or she, is absolutely spot on in that MAN cannot bring the the Second Coming of Christ...it just will not happen in MAN'S time, or in MAN'S way!!!

these so-called Christan's who advocate the idea that they can jump-start Armageddon by war with Islam, or whoever they decide to hate, are going to find that Christ is coming back, and this time He is really going to be pissed off !!!

luv,

ron

MAN cannot bring the the Second Coming of Christ

I certainly agree, albeit for probably very different reasons from what you and Rank are asserting. FYI, there have never been any scientifically documented cases of the dead (and I don't mean "near-death") actually coming back to life. Since Jesus is clearly dead, it would be lunacy to assume that he can make a second appearance on this planet.

What worries me however, is that many Christians have a propensity to ignore all of the reasons they cannot bring about the return of Jesus.

O_o Just a suggestion sir. If you're going to criticize another on the subject of intelligence..... You might want to work on that English grammar. Again it's just a suggestion.

Not that generalizing a group with such horribly broad brushed statements as you do is at all indicative of superior intelligence anyway.
