9jadelta: no, u don't arrest the gun for killing, you arrest the person that uses the gun, so it All goes back to fanatics You missed the point. Nuclear weapons were invented and used in the 2nd world war, not because of religion(can't believe that I'm actually defending religion) but because of man's hunger for supremacy. And if it's to be used again, it would be for the same reason. Human nature is constant. |

Ray McBlue:yep, the second world war, there were many things that were not in place then, but in place today. even the nuclear weapons were not that advanced. I just don't see any nation going to war for supremacy anymore, when such nation knows it has many things to lose than gain in a battle that may never end. the worst that could happen is to cause internal conflict in the nation of interest to steal whatever u want, like USA, France etc are doing and it has very low probability of leading to world war. just like there is low probability of sun exploding to destroy the earth. ( N:B I didn't say it's impossible but the probability is very low) religion on the other hand, is the number 1 danger I see right now. ( religion is the only thing that can turn a genius to zombie), it intoxicates. as long as there is bible and Koran, the world will never be at Peace. people are afraid that if nuclear weapon falls in to wrong hand, they might use it to harm people, who are the wrong hands? 99% of them are god zombies and no matter what, these fanatics won't rest until they do the will of Allah or which ever god that sent them 2 Likes |

Religion is a threat, true, but you talk with disregard to HUMAN NATURE. As a specie, man is both predatory and curious. He will keep trying new things until he finds one that suits him best, then when the sense of romance wore off the process will start all over again. If there is no religion, believe me, man will find something else to motivate his hatred for fellow man. Man is not engineered to live in harmony, it's simply not encoded in his DNA. Man doesn't adapt to his ecosystem like other species, rather he modifies his ecosystem to accommodate him. Understand the human nature, and you will think differently, mate. Religious fanatism is a real threat that shouldn't be ignored, true, but it's only a surface, a mask, an excuse used by man to propagate hate for fellow man. Remove that mask, and you will get to see the real man at his most sinister. You think lion as deadly, you think shark as a killing machine, you think tiger as a freak of nature, but none of these predators hold a candle to nature's deadliest anomaly »» MAN. 2 Likes |

Ray McBlue: [size=16pt]ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE[/size] I don't really see how the severity of mass emp attack could cause the world to end. People will simply rebuild, using mechanical electrict inducing machines like generators, or am i missing something? |

Ibrahim Mav: You are definitely missing something. Allow me to draw you a clear picture of what Electromagnetic Pulse is all about, and how absolutely devastating it can be. Mirriam-Webster described EMP as : high-intensity electromagnetic radiation generated by a nuclear blast high above the earth's surface and held to disrupt electronic and electrical systems The destruction on electrical system is absolute. Anything that had an electrical wire in it would be fried. Even the most archaic of power generators would stop working. To invent new panels and integrated circuit, you need electricity and how can you invent those, if there is no electricity? EMP is no joke, mate. 1 Like |

Ray McBlue: I get it now. I think there is something like that in the current airing tv series Revolution. |
Re: 9 Different Ways The World Could End by Nobody: 3:53pm On Sep 11, 2013 |
@ray mcblue we are pretty much saying the Same thing. the motivation is what brings out the the goodness and the beast in humans, the motivation could be money, survival etc religion is the greatest motivation right now for people to do heinous things, that's why it is greatest threat to human existence. no god will end the world, the humans will. what will motivate humans to end the world? simple RELIGION. |

Ibrahim Mav: Revolution 2012 started out as a typical EMP attack post-apocalypse themed tv series, but somewhere in the middle, the producers started adding some embellishments intended to boost ratings. Its not really a typical example of how life on EMP-induced-apocalyptic-earth will be like. |
Re: 9 Different Ways The World Could End by RayMcBlue(m): 4:10pm On Sep 11, 2013 |
9jadelta: @ray mcblue Not really. I dig deep, while you scratch the surface. |
Re: 9 Different Ways The World Could End by IbrahimMav: 6:14am On Sep 14, 2013 |
Ray McBlue: I disagree. Every electronics and electrical source became non existent and people struggle to adapt. It set them back to the dark ages again. The series was a good example in my opinion. |

Ibrahim Mav: Whatever... It's not an issue. |
