Writing something ugly? Nah. Inappropriate? Maybe, especially if there is loss of life. IMO, nmh was just posting Bible prophesy. Someone must've gotten a little peed and asked the mods to keep the discussion on topic.
downgraded to a 7.9 now
MSNBC is covering this well.
oops... 7.8 not a 7.9
we are about 10 minutes into it - 20 minutes now for Fiji
OT-is that Tiki Barber the football player on Fox?
Didn't Saint Paul believe HE was living in the end times? LOL
No, alot smaller. That one was a 9.1, this one now downgraded as low as 7.8 -- that's over 100 times smaller, if I calculate correctly.
Sorry-- meant to say 10 times smaller. Or about 13 times in this case.
The bible only says that it will appear that there are more events, diseases etc.
This is due to better world wide communication. In days of old nobody knew what was going on on the other side of the planet, they only saw local events.
"Didn't Saint Paul believe HE was living in the end times? LOL"
Probably. Maybe that's why he didn't get married and have kids. He advised others to do likewise, if they could.
End Times predictions are as common as dirt. Now, we have idiots predicting that 6/6/06 is a likely date. I guess they forgot about 6/6/1906, and 6/6/1806, and so on.
Anticipating the End Times seems to be a popular activity among some Christians. It's almost as though they're looking forward to it. All those non-Christians burning in Hell, and so on. Pretty exciting stuff, I guess.
Whatever blows your dress up, I always say.
Since the strongest quake I experienced was 5.6 in New Jersey, I'd say 7.8-8.1 is closer to Indonesian standards by my estimation.
It depends where you are. I've been in a 6.2 and a 5.6 and the latter felt stronger.
I'm not denying that a 7.8 is not a big quake, I'm just saying it's still very different to a 9.1...
It makes me think...
Jesus said that you will hear of wars and rumours of war, earthquakes, etc, but the end is not yet. He then went on to spell what the signs would be. One is the man of sin committing the abomination of desolation (desecrating the temple) which occurs 3 1/2 years after he has confirmed a covenant with the many.
Who knows when the ends will be ? only God...
My prayers are with the folks out in the Pacific.
20 miles is pretty deep, but that's still a big quake. The Hawaiians had better keep an eye out. The Aussies will be waxing their surfboards...

MM, my hubby will not be happy about cleaning the Diet Coke out of this keyboard.....
