Arrow Re: is armegedon going to happen?

You said Alxian "when people realize there isn't enough food to go around ..." I immediately thought, "soilent green is people".
___Seriously though, I submit this view on any reference to works of Old, be it the bible, or bahgavad gita, or whatever. No matter what the claim in any such works, they are the works of people; persons. I and you are persons. Why should you think that any other person, especially a person from the past, has some advantage over you & I in knowing something about reality? You are after all trying to build an argument on heresay evidence.
___No. I will trust my own personhood, thank you very much, when it comes to these issues. I & you are no less persons than those who claim authority. Mark (Twain) calls this "insect authority".

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
