G'day Lee,

>LL>Seems like global warming is getting the best of your system. :)

SA>It's getting the best of me - Adelaide now holds the Oz capital city
SA>record for the longest run of days above 35C, & looks like it will
SA>continue until next Tuesday, so I'm not touching this system until
SA>it cools down.

 LL> Would you rather have tornadoes?  

We rarely get them, & not the devastating US type ones, but there
are cyclones in the tropics (hurricane).

 LL> The other night, during a basketball game at the Atlanta dome, a 
 LL> tornado touched down and tore off parts of the roof.  Fans 
 LL> scattered, leaving the dome as fast as they could. The organizers 
 LL> had to move the other games to another arena, the dome having 
 LL> holes in it and being deemed unsafe.

I think that was on the news, with the roof flapping around like
paper, & workers running for their lives when they realsed the
roof was blowing off.

 LL> Basically, there are two views of history -

 LL> The Accidental View - events happen by accident rather than by
 LL> design. The Conspiratorial View - events happen by design, or
 LL> unknown reasons. 

 LL> Do these views reflect religion, as well as politics?  Is the rise
 LL> of the Antichrist an accident?  Or is it something by design? 

 LL> The Roman government "washed its hands" after finding Jesus
 LL> innocent of all charges.  Pilate then turned Jesus over to an angry
 LL> mob, which executed Him.

 LL> If the Roman government represents a republic, and the angry mob
 LL> represents democracy, then how would a modern world react to the
 LL> second coming of what appears to be the Christ?

 LL> Maybe we will find out soon.  In 2012.  The Coming of Nibiru. 

Don't know about Nibiru, but conditions for the emergence of Antichrist
appear to be reaching a climax, with Islam making its move for global
caliphate (without Israel), and the West bending over backwards to do
nothing to stop it ...

Cheers, Steve..
