Does humility ever set in with you doomers,do you ever feel the fool?

What have you been on OP ? I mean seriously, it made no sense I set up there and read what you had to say and it made no sense. Either i'm too tired to read this or it's just more fear monger. :
What the f did I just read ?
who's ride ? and where is it going? are u driving? may we offer a direction?

Sounds like you need to take the chill pill. Mate, you have got to relax, for centuries people have concluded we were all doomed, and yet we are still here. There is no reason to fear monger people, if the world ends then we got nothing to worry about, if it doesnt end then we got nothing to worry about. Chill, and enjoy the ride.....
i do not know how you interpreted this as doom ,

I did not say nothing was happening,I said no one could predict it and yes what people belive in will cause things to happen but cramming it down peoples throats with GODS and DEVILS is nothing more then retoric at its best.
Who are you?you are not the original poster.What do you people do post in relays?the OP takes the first 10 pages and someone like you takes the next 10 pages and so on.A regular "doomathon".

I wonder -- how much free will we actually have?
Your entire post is predicated on the fact that we have a lot of free will, and I don't think that is true.
@1 We can't free ourselves from our personal pain.
@2 We can't change the laws of nature.
@3 We can't select the family we are born to, or the time we live in.
@4 We can't change the nature of our physical body or its limits.
@5 We can't escape life's labor.
@6 We can't escape death.
@7 We can't change the past.
@8 We can't see the future.
What you basically are calling "free will" is a more like a choice of whether to pay our taxes or go to jail, in other words we sometimes have the ability to make obvious judgments about possible consequences. Sometimes we make risky choices, based upon faulty information or thought processes.
I don't think we have very much free will, actually, so there isn't much free will to figuratively "give back to God", is there?
In fact, it sounds like we should be asking God for a bit more free will than we currently have.
At page 35 of this discussion thread, this point may / should have already been made.

i think u need to stop doing methanfedamine.
but i have to ask. what are your ambitions for this thread?
lets say everyone takes you seriously and believes you. You gain fame and notoriety. What would you do with it?
what need are u fulfilling by posting this? theres something...u should try to figure that out
Now correct me if I'm wrong. But wasn't it the "forbidden fruit" from the "tree of knowledge" which gave us free will? And wasn't it the serpent who tempted us to eat and know the glory of such self-awareness? God knew that free-will would cause corruption within our being, it was outside the perfect, godly sphere of control know as the Garden of Eden. Thus we were banished.
In other words do you still believe that your free will is a gift from god.

Well thats your fault isnt it? Your going to have to face it eventually wether you like it or not....You are responsible for your own choices and there are consequences even if you can stall feeling the ffects of it. Good luck........I mention God often but I am connected with no religion.
I have walked into the flames a great many times and have pulled out many who were too weak to remove themselves...
Your judgement has enslaved you.....You can set yourself free but it will not be done for you.....Doesnt work that way......Be advised

Of course. He would rather speak to you instead of thousands of dying, starving children all around the world who cry out to him every single minute and get no response.
Makes perfect sense
They are doing just fine where they are
