You can say it's exaggerated, but the definition I posted is really the definition of the word.. In the words of William Shakespeare, "a rose by any other name, would smell just as sweet", meaning you can call anything whatever you want, doesn't change what it is.
As for the ways you've used the word, yeah, you can use the word Doom to describe the impending destruction of alot of things, but it still describes the same thing; death. Which not only proves my point made in my previous post, but also has no relevance.
The thread is for the discussion of whether or not you believe in Doomsday, as in, the end of the world.
If what you're getting at in your post, is that the end of the world will come, but in the form of a collapse in civilized society, and the becoming of war and death of agriculture, then your post does have some relevance, but is hard to recognize. If that interpretation is correct, than you believe Doomsday will come, but it will be caused by mankind destroying the enviroment and fighting each other.
Which is kinda curious, because that contradicts all your previous posts in this thread. But who am I to judge a change in opinion?

Quite right, but I think that total doom of the planet Earth is too much, although my previous thoughts on the end of peace and such at different levels I still hold firm to it. |

Well, we hate saying this, but peace has long ended for the past few years. Even though it hasn't, it's starting to degrade. Doomsday, well, let's just hope no World War III will emerge. By the time it really has to begin, nuclear missles will start causing purgatory and catastrophic damages around the globe.
Who knows? Maybe World War III is considered as Doomsday. But of course, this is artificially made.
Anyway, nice to see the controversial board back to its form. And Fanwriter, good day to you.

I thought the nuclear war was almost here when the Cuban Missile Crisis started, and both sides of the world feared that the other would attack with the nuclear missiles first. well, with detente and the SALT treaties affirmed even today, I don't think nuclear war is coming, given the political climate for years to come. No Doomsday in this matter.
And I thought the Cold War was the last really serious worldwide terror war, because formal governments had the notion of impending mass wars.
Ah, and JY returns.

Ragnarök. This is my favorite doomsday belief....because Norse Paganism is the coolest religion ever created. Each Viking's goal is to enter Valhalla so that he can train with Odin and other great warriors until the final battle of Ragnarök which will inevitably lead to the end of this world and the creation of a new one (everyone dies btw). With sudden decline in weather temperature and the waring nations I'm starting to train really hard now just in case....

Paganism itself is not a religion, and that's a fact. Though you can say it's a body of beliefs that is not firmed around a single deity.
But anyhow, if mankind fulfills his mere responsibility, doomsday can be postponed, or permanently halted.

Mankind has no responsibilities. We are just as any other organism in the universe, bound to no responsibilities at all.

Responsibilities are just to give your life meaning in this world. In common words, it'll keep you busy in your life so you won't strand around like other organisms (humans excluded).
To me, i don't really think responsibilities, given tasks or destinies have anything to do with Doomsday. If it shall arrive, it shall, and no one, not even those who impossibly fulfilled ALL theeir given responsibilities - could ever stop it. But of course, what paranoid said is true to some extent. People believe so. And i'm sure many of you guys believe in so too. I'm including inside by the way.

Mankind has no responsibilities. We are just as any other organism in the universe, bound to no responsibilities at all. BS. If humanity has no responsibilities on the way the live and how they continue to improve, heck, even the US as well as all nations around the world would have collapsed due to mankind's ignorance of what they are supposed to do. Human civilization s we know it now will not exist and you and I wouldn't have even this computer to use and chat. The current US recession is due to the the Bush administration unable to develop and maintain a strong economy - which was their responsibility. The reason why families are torn apart with divorces and juvenile crimes are that the parents and the kids are not being responsible to their own roles. Father and mother should love and educate the children and in return, the children should not argue against them and should study the best in school. No school, no future, no proper attitudes, no love, no care, no maintenance of self for the better - the doomsday is exactly this - only if this is habitualized by all 6.5 billion people on Earth. |
