What a whopping contradiction. Please continue to enlighten us Ms. None.

Was this not clear, as to the timing of the End Times ?[/quote]

Oh no, RS my friend. You were quite clear on the impending nature of the End Times.

Ritual Sacrifice wrote:

The timing, however, leaves something to be desired.

That's okay. Really, it is. I cannot hold it against you if your God hasn't told you date and time. From what I hear, Gods are like that. They're all about the vague prophecies and mysterious-ness of salvation. Totally not your fault.

I just thought -well- you might have an inside track on the timing of the Apocapookie. Yknow, you being the Prophet of the Moment and bringing us all these enlightened words of wisdom on how to save our collective backsides from impending holy fire.

Oh well, sorry for the assumption... Please, carry on...

How can one know when something grows closer if one doesn't know when something is due to arrive. Either you know something you claim no one can know, or your simply posturing to make a show of recent events.

One might argue that, with the way the universe expands, the End times are getting further away.

This is not a thread for logic...

Here is an example.

You have a piece of fruit. At some point in the future, it will go off, and not be suitable to eat.

But you don't know exactly when. It might be today, it might be tomorrow, it might be 4 days from now.

But the point at which the fruit becomes inedible gets closer every second.

Same with the End Times. They might be tomorrow. They might be next year. They might be a thousand years from now.

But they're not going to occur in the past, they're going to occur in the future.

And the future gets closer every second.

It's good to see the religious fervor is alive and well in the InterGalactic Summit. I'm sure that all the faithful need, at this moment of crisis, is inspiring words of commentary from "Lord Vaari, earl of Sosan VII, head of house Valius, Founder and despot of the Imperial Pharmacy, archbishob of the Providence, the world's most beloved hero, banisher of Triumvirate alliance, moral guide of the CVA, golden mountain and many more."

Excuse me. I wasn't aware his titles had been updated for YC115. What I meant to say was "Lord Vaari, earl of Sosan III, high father of the Imperial Pharmacy, symbol of unchallenged victory, Ecumenical Patriarch of the Silent Infinity the world's most beloved hero, self proclaimed prophet, morninglord, golden mountain, carrier of the Heaven's light, teacher of pure faith, speaker of unquestioned truth, lion of the universe, vanquisher of all heretics, bane of the witches, the great miner and skilled industrialist."

Except one cannot tell when the fruit has spoiled untill it has. You claim the star is the sign of a nearing end time, but provide no evidence nor correlation between the two. Just like I could not claim that same star is a sign my apple will soon spoil.

Correlation =/= Causation.

... until earlier today, I did not believe this either. I've lost sleep over the stellar anomaly known as Caroline's Star, the anomaly that doesn't make sense... but then I saw the accretion disk signaling a black hole already in the middle of the supernova. The Fourth Calamity fits so very well...

From the formless void's gaping maw, there springs an entity. Not an entity such as any you can conceive of, nor I; an entity more primordial than the elements themselves, yet constantly coming into existence even as it is destroyed. It is the Child of Chaos, the Pathway to the Next.

The darkness shall swallow the land, and in its wake there will follow a storm, as the appetite of nothing expands over the world.

From the formless void's gaping maw, there springs an entity.

You'd think we'd be further along than spouting prophecies of doom because of a celestial anomaly we can't explain. But you'd be wrong, apparently.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Never thought that for a second. As long as humans are burdened with that pesky imagination thing, this is what you'll get.
