[QUOTE="lainiebsky, post: 2038468, member: 358645"] 2 Timothy - can you think of a time in all of history when that wasn't true? I can't. Can you think of a time when there weren't wars in various places around the world? I can't. Even the two world wars didn't literally affect the entire world. Violent crime has not increased since the 1960s. Check the real statistics, not the crap some preacher made up. People have always traveled to gain knowledge. Even when travel was much harder than it is today, people took the time to travel for that reason. Then there's the fact that nearly every generation convinces itself that the prophecies are about its own time: http://www.religioustolerance.org/end_wrl2.htm I suspect that people can't imagine the world going on without them, so rather than face that fact they pretend that they were selected to witness the end of the world. It's much more satisfying than admitting that you're just another one of the billions of humans that have lived on this planet through history. [/QUOTE]
