In every religion or most of them, the is a time of great turmoil, devastation and ruin that takes place before a new beginning occurs. What if the end of the world was just tomorrow or just right around the corner? Would you care? What would you do and where will you be?

What if another world war engulf this world? What if Heaven opens up with angels descending. What if Hades and Hell burst open with demons and the dead walking the face of the earth? What if the dead start raising which can't be killed with shotguns. What if the natural disasters occured on large scales as never seen before such as 10+ mag. earthquakes in various parts of the earth every other day, cat. 5+ hurricanes every two weeks, volcanoes erupting everyday, raise in ocean levels, severe shortages in food and water and death and disease rampant? What if all these things took place at the same time?

What would you do? How would you react base on your religious beliefs and unbeliefs? Depending on your threshold, what will become of you? Would you go insane? Would you stay sane?
 
Guys try to make more contributing posts.

In the very unlikely event that all that should happen Juke I dare say I'd be screaming for a good part of it. I doubt I'd start praying since I'd doubt any god would care to save me, even if they did exist. But I would go to those I cared about to let them I loved them and all.

And then I'd throw myself in the fray. No better way to die then to go out fighting, eh?

LOL. I might walk a fine line between sanity and insanity if those days come. Yea, give me my sword, shield, armor and helmet so I can't fight through to see it all past me by.

I'll be praying though; praying that many including myself will all see this to the end.

I do not believe in religion and am therefore unaffected by whatever any religion has to say. But for the sake of debate, here I am.

All of the above are very unlikely concepts. If this happened? Then may 'God' help us. Haha.

Then the population of the earth would decrease significantly and very rapidly. There's nothing you CAN do - you can't fight the earth without destroying yourself in the process.

What would you do? How would you react base on your religious beliefs and unbeliefs? Depending on your threshold, what will become of you? Would you go insane? Would you stay sane?

It would be preposterous to say that anyone wouldn't care or that anyone wasn't affected. Scientists estimate a few more million years before the Sun will implode, with it, the rest of the Universe following swiftly. But what can you do, besides make the most of your time? If the world started acting up, I would definitely not waste my time praying. Infact, I'd probably encourage everyone else to stop praying and open their eyes - God can't help you (for more reasons than one, at least to me anyway) you just have to help yourself now.

There's nothing else you CAN do, besides panic and die.

Well, God caused it, why would he do anything, in the Quran it states that he caused it, well he commanded it to happen so therefore why would he help us then?
 
Why would a God want to destroy what they created? Unless it was predicted by a higher power.(I.e Norse Paganism everything is written by the Norns who are the Guardians of Fate)
Unless a god is like a 4 year old who destroys his brand new christmas present in a matter of days, But if that's the kind of God we all worship, then bollocks to that.

If a god allows the world it created to fall into the abyss then they shouldn't be God.
 
God would destro it for the judgeing later on, to judje wether the person would go to heaven or hell

What would be the point in that?
People are judged when they die anyway.

or is this to do with the The Army of Heaven will fight the Army of Hell?

Because if that's the case, I prefer the Norse Paganism route of certain events taking place, not god destroying the world he created to declare war upon Lucifer.
 
LOL @ Godspeed.

I tried to be as broad as I could. I just wanted to see how everyone would respond and envision themselves in that type of situation.

In your particular situation, what if the Aesir and Vanir descended down in their chariots and the Frost and Fire giants come forth in their vessels with monters appearing? What would you do Godspeed knowing that all three worlds even Yggdrasil will be consumed?

But what if God initiated a plan to destroy this world. Would you lose faith in Him or not? Just to note: "God" here is being used in a generic way. If it please you, you could replace it with "the gods/godesses" and etc. Whatever floats your boat.

What would I do?
Fight. I know the world will end, might as well go out in style:P

Gonna slay me some Jotun!

Anyway Yggdrasil isn't completley consumed, Two Humans hide themselves in one of the roots of Yggdrasil and begin a new, and Baldr rises up from Hel blah blah blah I'm sure you know all of this anyway haha.
 
I don't believe in any of the Chrstian crap, no such thing as heaven or hell, or angels or demons. When we die we either rot in the dirt or are reincarnated.
 
If all those things you say were to happen then i would probably kill myself in the least painful way possible. I'm sure it would be better than any of the other ways i could die. Or i would spend my last few moments with my family, since that would be the best way to spend it in my eyes.

If what scientists say are true and that the sun will explode/implode in a few million years and destroy the universe, then what if one of the other stars blow up? Maybe the other stars are almost ready to explode. There are much MUCH bigger stars than the sun, so they could definitely reach us.

I don't know, those stars are pretty far away compared to the sun. You know what happens when a star blows up, It creates a black hole.

Maybe you should, you'll have a job doing that mind, considering you think insulting peoples beliefs is smart.

Ugh, Alright...I'm sorry you are right, I owe that kid a formal appology. Sorry both of you, I've turned into the person that I hate, and ignorant fool. I just don't agree with Christianity or the Bible. But my relegion states that I should not tell people what they believe is right or wrong. And no, insulting other peoples beliefs is not smart at all.
