Dear z,
Have you ever actually read the bible? Revelation 14:11,"And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
Hosea 5:14,"For I will be like a lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away".
It is symbolic, the smoke does not come from physical torment, rather it is a reference to the fires that were used to destroy anything dumped in the valley of Hinnom (Gehenna), the garbage dump of Jerusalem. It represented being unworthy of a resurrection. They never come back to life again, permanently gone like anything burned up in a fire.
THE END IS NIGH all right: For fundamentalist beliefs.
The history of humans on the planet has shown that the primitive and barbaric are left in the dustbin of history, along with all the other evolutionary dead-ends.
I've said it before and I'll continue to say/sing it: The impotent whining and bellowing we hear from the religious "right" over society's acceptance of the equality of the LGBTQ is, in fact, their funeral dirge.
They are a spent force - culturally, spiritually, and it will soon be proven, politically.

I celebrate their passing.
I hope you are right. Nothing is guaranteed.
If we don't find a substitute for fossil fuels to power our modern existence, 1000 years from now will look a lot like 1000 years ago. Complete with fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims killing each other on a grand scale in the name of their respective gods.

Oh it'll be solar and/or anti-gravity/magnetic/something renewable. Our children or their children will come up with a fix. We humans are nothing if not adaptable. We'll find a way to make things work and begin to repair some of our damage to the planet.
I predict our future is going to be much more Star Trek than Revelation/Armageddon.
Ignorance is dying and will soon be dead.
Forward thinkers are coming.

I wonder what with this resurgence caused by the ignoramus ring leader of the elephant clan. Ignorance looks like it is alive and thriving in Amerikkka
Nonsense. The Bible is riddled with contradictions and inconsistencies. The refusal to apply God's standard of truth - the Holy Spirit of agape love (Who IS God)- to everything in the Bible is what produces the confusions and corruptions of Christ's Gospel in the anti-Christ apostate majority in these latter days as prophesied.
Only trinity translations contain errors that contradict what Jesus taught.
