Great question! You get a star from me!

The world has always had earthquake! But, Jesus said there would be great earthquakes!
For the word earthquake / earthquakes is used 11 times in the New Testament alone, and 5 times in the Book of Revelation itself.
Now, according to the USGS (US Geological Survey) an earthquake registering 8.0 or greater on the rector scale is classified as Great. Jesus said there would be "great earthquakes" in different places or location.
Earthquakes of this magnitude are considered as enormous earthquakes.
Let us note here - There have been an increasing number of these great earthquakes, starting from the 19thth and now into the 21st century. So we can say for certain that this generation has been witnessing an increasing rise in these "great" earthquakes.
When one looks at a geophysical map of the earth, it looks like a hard boiled egg that's has been dropped on its end, one to many times. For the earth is made up of tectonic plates.
In geology, tectonic is the "deformation" of rocks: relating to the forces that produce movement and deformation of the Earth's crust, and plates are any of the "segments" of the earth's crust that move in relation to one another as defined by the theory of plate tectonics.
There are many tectonic plates that tend to move along side one another.
According to geological research, it is along these tectonic plate lines, that a major part of the earthquake activity occurs.
But, it is also interesting to note that it is along these areas
where a majority of the largest populations of earth are located.
What concerns me when I hear about earthquakes in our time is that we can look back in time, and not recall that many happening!
So, is the earth speaking to us? Is the earth telling us to wake up?
When one thinks about it, it is as if the earth itself is sending us a warning!

I do believe in the Bible as the truth of God and Christ Jesus. As far as the mark of the beast, many will take it even though they know that what they are doing is dooming themselves. (Pretty sad isn't it.) Many will be fooled.
The Earth hasn't even begun to shake bad yet. Just wait for the real show.
No, the weather isn't strange. It has its cycles. That is just the way the Earth is.
I am very careful of what I buy to eat. I buy local raised organic beef and buy organic produce grown locally as much as I can.
I don't trust this govt., or any other for that matter. This world is slowly, but surely headed towrds a one world govt. as written of in the Bible.
Respect? That is dwindling in today's society. I am starting to feel like Rodney Dangerfield.
As far as marraige, some do and some don't. Divorce rate is high. What do you expect from an ungodly civilization.
Yes, we have been to space.
Yes, I do believe in the Son of the Lord God. Jesus is my Savior.
Am I happy? Some days yes and some days no. But happiness is not the same as having joy and I do always have joy in the Lord God and Jesus Christ.
Am I willing to die for what makes me happy? That needs more clarification. To broad of an area.
Many things cause happiness. A childs laughter, spring flowers blooming, seeing a beautiful sunset in the desert, the taste of strawberries freshly picked from my garden, a good tender steak.

NO. I like J.S. You have no concept of life back in he bronze age. You would not survive the first day. You would not survive a month in Victorian England. Life has never been better for humanity. There hasn't been a major war anywhere for over sixty years now. Europe is united after centuries of wars. And united peacefully not under a conqueror. People have rights that were undreamed of less than a hundred years ago. And you have the affront to tell me that things are bad. I can come out and violently complain about my government. You try that in the bronze age and see where it gets you. The only beast I see is Ignorance.

Probably not, since some sort of global currency, preferably digital, would be rather practical.
Society has had no correlation with plate tectonics that we have observed.
That depends on what you consider to be strange, if strange means "contrary to what should be expected.", then no, if strange means, "different than it ever has before.", then yes.
I have no reasons to believe anyone is trying to poison me, and I have no reasons to believe that someone was planting some resilient strains of viruses in my frozen food that is later cooked.
Trust to do what?... I don't trust my government absolutely, no, but I see no particular reason to be particularly suspicious of them (As the current administration has at very least put up a very strong front of complete incompetence).
I respect you and everyone else, and receive all of the expect I desire to receive that hasn't gone anywhere I've noticed.
Because people don't feel as obligated by it anymore, and want to pursue happiness when they aren't happy, that doesn't seem like such a horrible thing... That and people rushing in to marriage, but people have always done that. (Atheists stay married longer on average so it doesn't work out for a religious person to blame the decrease amongst themselves on a decline in morals... Apparently atheists consider this decision more thoroughly for some reason.
We have thousands of testimonies of those individuals have been there, including Mark Shuttleworth, who seems rather trustworthy as far as philanthropists go.... Faking all space travel at this point would be more expensive than actually maintaining it... Besides, where the hell else would those rockets go when they disappear from sight?
I believe there was a guy named Jesus who called himself this, but he also stated that "We are all God's children.", I believe people took someone who liked to talk in parable a bit too literally.
Yep, I have no reason not to be.
Of course.
Any number of things, those I love, the various mixings of subcultures I am a part of, good music, good literature, freedom, and free thought are all high up there.

Would you believe Homer if Zeus showed up to your front door? Are there more earthquakes now then before? Have their been ice ages before? Do you trust anyone who quotes from a book which claims to know the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me Zeus? Do you trust your minister? Do people respect the freedom from religions? Why do some churches not allow divorce? Do you believe we have gone to the bottom of the ocean without the help of scriptures? Do you believe in Hera, the wife of Zeus? Are you free? Are you willing to suspend your beliefs to listen to logic? What makes you tolerant of those without the same beliefs?
*Thanks for the thumbs down, and have fun playing with your, ummm..."sword."

Would you believe that snickerdoodle cookies with left-handed chirality are inherently better than a refreshing glass of lemonade on a hot summer's day?

For one thing, the mark of the beast isn't something that's going to be "issued", and secondly-you really need to lighten up on the sugar before bed.
