Britain and Germany were the ones who wanted the muslims here to make Europe an Islamic state though.

I suspect either you are a very religious man or simply cannot grasp that basic truth. Please explain to me how someone infallable can know my actions before i do them, yet i am still free to "change" those actions, thereby excersizing my free will. I bet you cannot.

Nostradamus.....
Listen to this: This is a four year.....and the quantrain is Q4.4
Obama is the 44th president of the USA
__________________________________________________________________________________________
LIBYA NOSTRADAMUS
Libyan Prince powerful in the West will come to inflame very much French with Arabian. Learned in letters condescending, he will translate the Arabian language into French.
Q 3:27
This is a FOUR YEAR, and this quatrain is Q4.4
When they will be close the lunar ones will fail,
from one another not greatly distant,
cold, dryness, danger towards the frontiers,
even where the oracle has had its beginning.

Anyone who isn't a scholar in the French language should keep themselves from making interpretations of these quatrains. Anyways even the best French philologists couldn't make up what Nostradamus was talking about in most of his quatrains, since these are terribly convoluted and bizarre.
And some precisely dated predictions turned out to be quite false, like the one about a "great king of terror" who would come form the skies in July 1999...
Take this with a grain of salt.

I'm not a big fan of Nostradamus. His predictions are almost always about France....
I can't see Qaddafi leading any massive rise of Arabs. He doesn't have influence over his own people now also he isn't an Arab. Try North African

You continue to use the word "pointless" without stating what exactly the point is. If life has a point then it would follow that that point would have to exist prior to our existance. To accept predestination is not to exclude free choice. To accept predestination is to say there is a grand design and that foreknowledge of ones choices does not take away ones right to free will. It merely shows the grand design took into account those free will choices each of us makes, and implies the designer having foreknowledge of those choices we would make. We see in the present only, so we have little understanding of what "the point" is.

Very well stated and i agree 100%!
It truely doesnt matter what i think, and whether or not i choose to believe in prophecy makes no difference. If the world is how you describe it, life is pointless. My opinion doesnt matter.
My refusal to believe it is more for my own comfort. I dont WANT to believe it.
