Just found this interesting site.
http://www.worldometers.info/
Some here say that things are fine and even better then ever before. Maybe ones like this should stop and look at some of the stats here and just sit and watch the numbers go by for a few minutes and try to connect each number to a real person....
I also found the amount of money spent on illegal drugs to be unbelievable.

“And (((((((death))))))))))) and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire or "eternal destruction". This means the second death, the lake of fire. Furthermore, whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:14, 15

I think those here who say "things are not bad but are in fact getting better" really need to open their eyes to the world and what is truely happening and come to a clear view of what man has done to the planet and realize that God is the only answer to saving it and all life on it...
They call us "doomsdayers". I think that is such a foolish statement when the facts speak for them selves.

To demonstrate, go to the site you linked and watch the figure on "Solar energy striking Earth" for a few minutes. Now tell me whether or not global warming is a fact!

So where are their minds? Must be stuck in some kind of la la land with no concern or concept of the world around them and the suffering that most experiance daily.....
