Look on TV, look at these young girls, these young boys. It's terrible the way they put their selves out there. I am a 15yr old female and I just don't understand why some kids gotta be like that. I think we should stop focusing on wars and these big mighty nations with all their nuclear weapons and such and start focusing on God. If we all truly had God, we wouldn't have a reason to fight other nations. Is the world soon coming to an end? If not, then how much worse can this world and these people get?

Yeah, Bible prophesies are being fulfilled. The end is near. Remember when Jesus' disciples asked him what the sign of his presence would be? How did Jesus answer? Matthew 24:6-14. But, in reference to your question, verses 6,7 states: "6 You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that you are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another." We see all of that happening today. War is all that's on the news anymore, "food shortages" are becoming more and more common-place (especially in foreign lands), and earthquakes...well, just look at Hawaii..it got pretty shook up.
But then, notice verse 14 of that same chapter. "14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." What "good news of the kingdom"? Have you ever thought about *how* a "witness" will be given to *all* the nations?

A lot of the wars that we are/have had ARE about religion. People and the world can get a lot worse than they already are. Especially Nuclear Warfare. I'm 15 years old too and I agree with you about the junk they show on television, and I also agree with the nations coming together. I don't believe that will happen any time soon, however. I'm very thankful I live in the country and have the rights that I do.

You are too young to be worrying about such things, but since you are I will give you my advice. These weapons you speak of have existed for decades and we have more of them than most. And every nation knows that once one is launched it's "That's All Folks" for all of us.
Try not to worry about the things you have no control of and think about what you can do to make your part of the world a better place. Treat every day like it's your last and every goodbye the same. Share your kindness with the people you love. Remember the worst thing that can ever happen to you in any given situation is that you might die. And if that ever happens it's all over and all bets are off.

Hatred, violence & war is caused by false religion,
not God. And He is going to destroy all such Babylonish
ways of worship. Be on the watch for an informative new
printed message from Jehovah's Witnesses, which is being distributed WORLDWIDE this month by over 6.5 million volunteers. This is welcomed by all, who like you are 'sighing' & 'groaning'... it's a comforting message to
all who sincerely pray for God's Kingdom to Come and His Will be done,on EARTH, as it is in Heaven.
You'll understand WHY ALL FALSE MUST GO, & you'll appreciate WHAT JEHOVAH GOD will USE to bring about the just downfall of THE GREAT HARLOT ...
Revelation 18:4 warns people to come out of the grip of false religion, pictured by the harlot....
When you receive the vital message please read the information along with your Bible. Your life is at stake
A wise one listens... Proverbs 1:5.
PS Likely conditions will continue to worsen, and even when headlines read 'PEACE! SECURITY! rely on God's promise to sustain you until time for the TRUE Prince of Peace, Jesus delivers YOU ...
Remember, man-made peace is only a veneer and WILL FAIL
Please read 1Thessalonians 5:1-5 in your Bible

You're right. All of us don't have God, and we do need to redirect our attention and affections to Our Almighty God. The book of Psalms 34:8 "O taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man that trusteth in Him." The first verse in Chapter 46 says "God is my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." We are supposed to look to the Lord for comfort in this world. Some can ignore it if they want, but we've been told time and time again...God is going to put all of this mess to an end, but He's only going to restore what He intended in the first place. He wants us to get ourselves in line with His word. We can trust Him no matter how turbulent it gets. Malachi 3:6 "For I am the Lord, I change not;.." His seriousness about His will for man is no joke, but He really does know better than anybody else. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I'm just glad that the one at the end loves me and wants to see me do the right thing and please Him. We have a chance to do that. You don't have to believe me. Check your nearest bible. Hint: Read it with humility, and don't filter it with your opinion. (James 4:6 "...God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." 4:10: "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He shall lift you up.")

How do you get everyone to focus on God? Nuke everyone who does not believe in your God? How do we choose which God to worship? How will you convert all those who disagree?
I just wish the world had more common sense and intelligent thinking and we wouldn't have to worry about idiots with bombs. Instead we are forced to live with imbeciles who use religion to control and kill people.

Definetly yes. Just look around you. Everything bad is starting to be seen as good and its praised for, and everything good is seen in a negative way. Great example: homosexuality being aaccepted in society.
One of the greatest sins known to man-kind, and dispited by God (something which cost the people of Lut, Babylon, Pompii, Rome, Greek and many other ancient civilization... their lives to be erased from the face of the earth and eternal condemination by God himself!)
