Then you run with a different FReeper crowd than the rest of us because I don't know any survivalist type FReeper who has those delusions.
We all realize that all our prep does not guarantee our survival, but we do know that not being prepped will guarantee our not surviving.
Reading *One Second After* helped put a lot in perspective for me.
Yes, I recognize it as a work of fiction, but the author did a great job making it as realistic as possible. He obviously spent a lot of time working through what being without infrastructure and supplies would mean to us.
Spare me
I’m convinced you rarely sneak out from under the protection of religion threads precisely because you can’t tolerate real scrutiny, or engage in substantive discourse.
Well put.
Sometimes I’m stilllllll . . .
after allll the years of contrary evidence on FR,
I’m stillll shocked
that some clueless idiots are still waddling around with their heads in darkplaces
pretending?
in denial?
just dumb and stupid?
about this being the Biblical END TIMES.
HOW on earth does one navigate daily life being
so utterly out of touch with reality?
Many thought do seem to think that they need to do nothing and the God will provide all their needs, which begs the question: Do they look both ways before they cross a street or do they just say a prayer and then cross blindly?
You live alone, don't you?
To live is Christ, to die is gain. Yes, it's better on the other side, but the survival instinct God imbued us with will not allow me to just lie down and die.
Pray tell, what of your post 54, which I was responding to, called for substantive discourse?
You might want to sneak back to a religion thread before you involved in an analysis your favorite mod can’t save you from.
Not at all.
Dad and I share quarters with another FREEPER . . . who’s also got a genius level IQ.
I thought all that was required to be reconciled to the Father was faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Does God require a faith in some end times scenario as well to be reconciled to him?
Yep. So did my family, until Mom and Dad made enough dough so that they didn't need to anymore. Mom still knits good wool socks and sweaters, hats and mittens. Other than the socks, they'll likely last me for about ever. They're great!
I'd argue that there's a huge difference between doing something because you *enjoy* doing it, and doing something for survival. For instance, I have a small (really small!) garden - I get enough tomatoes to share with the neighbors, a handful of peppers, and fresh herbs because I like the way they taste. BIG difference between that, and the work involved with the huge garden we had as a kid, where we put up a couple hundred quarts of assorted fruits and veggies - canned and frozen - for the winter.
Also, if the deer+other assorted wildlife (another thing to shoo away in a post apocalyptic world, beyond the cast of two-legged looters) get into my tomatoes overnight ....well, I likely say a few bad words, then wander over to the neighbors and see if they got cleaned out too. In the "mad max" world that so many FReepers enjoy thinking about....if that happens, you have no tomatoes that year. And if there aren't any seeds, you don't have any more tomatoes, period.
IMHO, there's a lot of reward in hard work. But, hard work just for it's own sake, is foolish.
BTW,
It’s not at all forbidden knowledge
There are stacks and stacks of it . . . warehouses full of evidence and proofs of every type of it piled on virtually every 3rd street corner in the body politic, free for the taking.
Only the willfully blind are able to miss seeing it.
Thanks for the ping!
When I was a kid, we thought about global thermonuclear war ... and where I was a kid, we knew we would not survive the first strike.
Of course, we also thought about robots and cured diseases and jet packs.
Oh, I see. It's an inferiority complex, rather than a complete lack of accountability.
I still strongly suspect you there's functionally no one who can hold you accountable.
So they picked that domain name to attract scholars and statesmen?
It’s wonderful when you are so willing and eager to show your utter ignorance and lack of perceptiveness and discernment.
Please continue being so brazenly wrong.
And you for your support.
