(Revelation 13:1, 17, 18) This beast is a symbol of the worldwide political system, which rules over “every tribe and people and tongue and nation.” (Revelation 13:7) The name 666 identifies the political system as a gross failure in God’s sight. The Chinese are well on the way to having this ( but without the religious context ( actually... at the present moment in time, they are trying to obliterate ALL traces of religion....and not only amonst the Uighurs ( Muslims) but Christian communities too.) Google " Chinese Electronic Surveilence on it's Citizens" Makes for some very interesting ( and frightening) scenario's. This also fits in with the Biblical prophesy....." From the eternal sea he arises...with an army on either shore, turning Man against his brother, until man exists no more. " We live in interesting times.....

So, just thinking... if the fish is the symbol of early Christianty, and chips symbolise the beast, then fish and chips must symbolise the eternal struggle of good V evil. Like salt and vinegar. Where vinegar is obviously the good guy, because the nasty sodomites were turned into pillars of salt. Whereas Jesus turned water into wine, which then becomes vinegar by itself.

So trying to buy some smokes, pint of fancy craft beer, weekly lotto lucky dip or a fat box of donoughts would all be digitally-declined. You'd certainly have to resort to barter e.g. box of carrots, 2 sheep, and tip of the hat for a visit to a go-go-dancer bar (or whatever they call it these days).

So there is more ( lot's more?? ) out there that not only do we not understand....maybe it's impossible for us to understand? If you were to add up the sum of the total amount of Knowledge we have, INHO, we are not yet only scratching the surface.
AngryHippie wrote: » Lets call it fear of the unknown. A fear that could be powerful enough to drive people to believe the words of an ancient text like the bible, koran, torah etc. rather than relying on their own wits and senses. Fear of what lies beyond death, a fear so all-encompassing that people will slavishly devote their lives (and those of their children) to someone who promises to take away that fear without providing one iota of evidence or proof that they can or have done so. A fear so great that the only way to cope with day to day life is faith.People have been manipulated since time began, and continues to this day. Religion of course played a major part in this, but it was far from the only one….the Nazi’s, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, present day China etc. But in this day and age in this part of the world, people can and do think for themselves, and as I mentioned earlier, when it comes to Religion “Vote with their feet…” But there still exists many Countries where the people don’t have this privilege, to think and act for themselves, quite the opposite, in fact. Even so, there are many intelligent people, who having thought about and analysed Life as they see it …. Choose Religion, and belief in God. Despite all “evidence” to the contrary, they continue to believe in God. They are not alone in this, Scientists can and do propose theories which they fervently believe in….without a shred of evidence to back them up. As opposed to progress, which I would consider to be: Rising literacy rates to the extent that people can educate themselves enough to think critically. They can access enough information not to get manipulated by charlatans and con-men. Increased understanding of mathematics and science to the extent that people can rationalize their choices and their impact on our future as a species and society. Increased tolerance of others in recognition of our achievements through co-operation and in acknowledgement of our failures in division.Agreed, 100% I personally consider organised religion to be divisive in it's current fractured from. Different branches of Christianity in opposition to each other of dogmatic nonsense. Different sects of Islam at war with each other, different denominations of Judaism in turmoil over the precipitous direction there state is headed. It serves as an additional division between a species that struggle with differences as irrelevant as race and even gender. Differences that can only be overcome with rational thought, compassion and mindfulness. They enforce (usually patriarchal) structures vulnerable to horrendous corruption and abuse on vulnerable people, while taking their money to fund themselves and operate within a blind spot to the state that a multinational company would sell their souls to attain.Yes, throughout history, Religion has been hijacked by absolutely non-religious people as a mean’s to their own ends. Literally wolves in sheep’s clothing. Their primary function to the individual can be achieved through a far more honest transaction with a therapist or counselor in present day and without the painful burden of guilt as a primary motivation. To look at it rationally, I cannot see how organized religions still have a social license to exist in our current society, Nor can I see how they have a place in the future of co-operation and sustainability that we need to work towards. My thesis would be that the Bibles only prediction in revelations is the coming of it's own irrelevance and the impending necessity for human beings to elevate our consciousness and conscience to the point where we own our destiny and break from the shackles of guilt, shame and abuse that have been place upon us by those that deem themselves our superiors and shepherds. If that is deemed to be the end of times, then so be it. From every ending comes a new beginning and we need to plan and prepare. (And no, I don't believe it is the "second" or any subsequent coming of any son, calf or spawn of any deity. Pandering to that notion is merely finding another excuse to pawn off responsibility for our decisions and cope with our daily guilt for fiddling while our species careers to our own declineYou have put it very well, Angry Hippo, and it’s a good and honest appraisal. Most of which I agree with. For me personally, to sum it up, Briefly:- We are born into this life, and after our lifetime, we die and are buried. And that’s it???? Sorry…I don’t think that is the end of it,in fact it may be only the beginning. And my belief is rooted in this. Basically, this existence is a time of “ Trouble and Strife “ but we are promised that it will end, and this is what we Christians believe in. You are more than welcome to have your own opinion on all of this, and rightly so.

I am fine with both being treated as theories but they are rarely spoken of as being anything other than either complete or at worst, only partially incomplete versions of what we all must agree has to be the truth - in other words, faith-based dogma. That's not the scientific method.
