Right now our society is fragmented into hundreds and hundreds of different belief structers and world views, but with the currently growing mass of intellectually impatient people, issues seem to be more and more polarized when they come around. For every controversy there seems to always simply be two sides. Pro-life vs. Pro-Choice, Democrat vs. Rebuplican, and now Atheist vs Theist.
Is it possible that with the blantant attacks on all of theism, theist may in the future unite against it? Would this fit current world ending theology as a possible way "one world religion" could come about?
Atheist are already starting to use the rhetoric of Hitler and Stalin saying that the Earth must be "clensed" of religion. How long before we start seeing Roman levels of intollerence to religious individuals?

"Atheists are starting to use the rhetoric of Hitler and Stalin"???
I must not have gotten that email.
I can't speak for all atheists and agnostics but many of us really don't care what other people believe as long as they 1) don't get in our faces about it, 2) don't try to shove it down our children's throats, 3) don't tell us how we are going to burn in hell, and 4) don't try to destroy science and education.
Other than that - live and let live is my motto.

in the gospels Jesus mentions coming back from the lifeless to verify the dominion of God on earth. He stated that he'd return in the process the existence of the numerous apostles, yet whilst that did not take place the "kingdom of God" grew to become into reinterpreted to point the Christian faith. So now maximum Christians anticipate him to return any day now to decide residing and the lifeless and hand out rewards and punishments. there have been dozens, 1000's of predictions of whilst and why he will return. No success yet. sounds like your classmate is probably a Dispensationalist, like maximum present day evangelical American protestants. Dispensationalists in general enroll in the belief of the Rapture and the Tribulation, which you will examine on wiki's get right of entry to on that doctrine. even nevertheless maximum Christians are taught that their ideals concerning the tip of the international have continuously been that way, Dispensationalism is in basic terms some hundred years previous.

END TIME PROPHECIES
The Bible has many prophecies that many scholars traditionally have interpreted as being about the End Times. These prophecies are scattered throughout the Old Testament, including the books of Daniel and Zechariah, as well as in the New Testament books of Luke, Matthew and Revelation.
MESSIANIC PROPHECIES
The Bible has many prophecies that ancient rabbis identified as being "Messianic," meaning that they speak about an "anointed one" - a special person anointed by God - to carry out work ordained by God. Christians, including us at this web site, believe that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Bible's Messianic promises. Perhaps the Bible's most famous Messianic passages are found in Isaiah, chapter 53.

with all due respect, religion is one for those who want to have a path to get closer to God. Reguardless of what religion or faith, God is what it is all about. Repsecting everyone however in whatever they believe in is christain like. There must be two side as that is a worldy thing to do. If all were the same how dull would this world be? There will never be "one world religion" so why worry about it. Like I said, God is the answer to all.
God Bless

So, you're saying you think there's a remote possibility that methodists, catholics and pentacostal snake handlers are going to actually get together? Nice thought, but just can't see it happening. Unity in Christ is a wonderful idea, but I don't see it actually happening until He shows up and sets us all straight.
