It's kind of like a fairy tale or Nostradomous. There will be elements of truth in it. Why don't you just learn to live in a world that contains all different kinds of people and stop being so judgmental? Christians act so superior. That's why I got out.

How is anything that you said reality? Please provide the Biblical passages where it is stated that the planet will begin to heat up and the polar ice caps will start to melt as a result of all the fossil fuels and chemicals we've been using as a consumerist society, based on the belief that the Earth is our plaything, not our Mother (this is a Christian belief, incidentally).
Maybe YOUR heart is getting colder, but I - a Wiccan - was the only person who stopped in the supermarket parking lot yesterday to help a woman returning bottles, FOR HER CHURCH, to pick them up when they kept falling out of her cart because she had so many. Meanwhile the SUV-driving fellow at the stop sign just glared at us while we made him wait for 5 minutes. Since the town I was in is nearly 100% Catholic, it's probably safe to guess that he was Catholic.
Putting RFID chips in endangered animals to track their movements, see how they're doing, and monitor their progress because we've made the environment so inhospitable for them - or even putting these tracking devices in pets - is a far cry from putting them in humans. Also, you have probably never had a pet run away on you if you think that putting them in pets is a bad thing. I would appreciate it if you could provide the Bible passage that mentions RFID chips.
When has there NOT been conflict in the Middle East?
I don't think anyone has said homosexuality is good, just that it's not bad. There's a difference. Saying homosexuality isn't bad simply means it's not bad, it just is.
You think that wackos claiming to be Jesus is a new thing? I'm sure more than one person in the 19th century, before psychiatry became an accepted practice, was locked up in an assylum for claiming to be Jesus.
Christians are not the only ones being persecuted and killed for their beliefs. You just have a persecution complex so you THINK you're the only ones being persecuted and killed for your beliefs.
You clearly aren't living in reality, so I'm certainly not going to join you.

Didn't know global warming was part of the end times. Actually I think people are becoming more generous. I doubt the chips will go in humans. There's always been conflict in the Middle East, in fact I can't tell you a time in my lifetime that there hasn't been. All religions are persecuted at some place in the world. Christianity certainly isn't persecuted here in the U.S. In fact I think some "Christians" persecute those who don't agree with them.

Global warming happened thousands of times? That I agree with. Good to know you aren't one of those young Earth crack-pots.
The rest is just speculation. There has always been conflict in the Middle East, different cultures have always had different views on things like homosexuality, and there have always been guys that thought they were god. (personally I don't know how you guys picked one out of the pack)

The Bible also says "There is nothing new under the sun".
You are trying to trump up a case for the Book of Revelation being acted out on the world stage. People have done this before and were wrong, just like you are wrong now. I guarantee it.

All of this is exactly like the negative stuff from other fundamentalist groups. It posits a judgemental, punishing deity, which is a projection from people's thought systems. And the believer is completely unaware of this mechanism (that the believer created this being as a projection of the believer's own thoughts). It gets even more ironic when we see 'questions' like this -- the mechanism of separation, judgement, etc. is all there (and, again, it's in sync with the deity that's been projected by the believer).

actually the Bible said the end of the world would happen about 1,900 years
“Remember that all these things will happen before the people now living have all died.” (Matthew 24:34 TEV)
“For the Son of Man [i.e. Jesus] is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward each one according to his deeds. I assure you [i.e. swear to you] that there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Son of Man [Jesus] come as King.” (Matthew 16: 27, 28 TEV)

Oh? Typical human arrogance that assumes we are the chosen ones in a gods image. I'm sure if we blew ourselves up tomorrow the world would find something else to take our place at the top. Maybe thats our problem, we are at the top so need to create gods above us because we are scared whats out there.

I was just about to ask the same question of believers. Your global warming example doesn't prove anything except that people can interpret the bible to mean anything they want it to mean. As for your other details, I find them incoherent, like much convoluted religious dogma.
