It was pretty obvious that the conversation was over, did you really need to comment?

I missed that post.
What if that's the wrong way of looking at the message? What if it's a 'Recovery' message? What if the population is in the process of rebuilding and recovering from a global catastrophe?
Good point. Ha, something to ponder on indeed.
But if you think that the GGS are written as a post-apocalyptic recovery manual, then how can this change be any good for the vast majority of living humans?
It was an ordinary Friday afternoon in 1979 when he first appeared at the Elberton Granite Finishing Company. The well-dressed stranger told the owner that he wanted to build a granite monument of a scale and complexity that was unheard of even in a major hub of the granite industry. The owner dismissed the stranger as a practical joker and sent him to a local banker, Wyatt Martin, to see if the man could actually fund such a massive project. To the shock and surprise of the locals, Mr. Christian made good on his intention to build the monument, and the Georgia Guidestones were unveiled to the world on the spring equinox of 1980.
“Christian told Martin that he represented a group of individuals who had planned this project for more than 20 years, and that each one of the group was a loyal American who believed in God and country. He said the group of sponsors wished to remain anonymous and went on to say that his real name was not Robert C. Christian as he had introduced himself, but this was simply a name chosen because of his Christian faith.”
Doom and Gloom? Well that's all a matter of perspective isn't it? One sees upheaval or change to their lifestyle or perceived status as being possibly disastrous even if it's only a change to their way of thinking. However, and this is the point. Change inevitably leads to growth or death. Which would you prefer? What if you awoke tomorrow with endless possibilities? What would be the first thing you think you'd like to see changed in the world? Then, think that change through. What would be the potential consequences? Any adverse effects that you could imagine? How about in your personal life? What changes could you make there? You see, from my perspective that's the key. Start within. We all have our parts. We are part of a greater whole. Each with our unique talents and abilities. What one lacks the person next to them might have etc. It's just a matter of applying that which is in us for the positive and mutual benefit for all even in the small actions which like a snow ball rolling downhill will eventually lead to tremendous differences and growth.

My point is that he firsts says this,

And then goes on to suggest that a global catastrophy might take place, decimating the population.
I don't see how the above would apply to such a situation since it mainly involves the death of the 95% of the population. It's quite a lifestyle change.
Maybe the two paragraphs weren't mean to be connected, in which case you can wonder why it was included in the first place.

Why would you say that Doom and Gloom is all about perspective when you are going to suggest a global catastrophy that would decimate the population to 500.000.000? Or suggest anything that involves having a population of 500.000.000 in the first place?
It would always involve death, and if it would happen over generations then we won't be around to reap the benefits.
So how does it make sense?
If you are one of the people who want a limited population who subscribe to your world view then a global catastrophe would be a good thing, no? Elitists don’t care if they decimate 95% of the population because that 95% means nothing to them. No life other than their own means anything to them.

Fukushima... yep Fukushima is the single most important catastrophe facing us at present. Ignoring it will not make it go away, nor will it keep anyone safe. The Pacific ocean is becoming increasingly polluted, or should I say contaminated with radiation. This radiation is for keeps, it's here for good, there will be no avoiding it's destruction, even it's half life is counted in thousands or more of years, decades, and centuries.
That's change. It's a game changer. It's the end of a lot of species including vast segments of our own..... Some will be quick, others a few years or a decade or two. This is REAL, this will kill you....... I feel sorry for the children, and my children's children if they choose the folly of having any. I really doubt they will in the current climate the world is in.
Change is not from ABC to CBS to FOX or the like, it will be epic die-offs. Areas uninhabitable for longer than we can grasp.
But those of us who believe in God knew this day was coming...
Do you think this is the Op's viewpoint then?

No.
I think he's stirring the pot. Sometimes you have to play devils advocate to get the proper mixture.
Slayer isn't an elitist.
So we agree that there is in fact an agenda behind this thread.
I think this is more about Slayer rubbing his hands behind the scenes, than anything else.
edit, I guess that's basically what you said.
