Re: What if we knew the world was ending?
Welllll... if we look at the historical record, and see how the theist "doomsday sects" that were sure the world was going to end on various dates acted.... we see a small handful of groups taking vows of poverty and giving away all their earthly possessions... and a lot more groups that "go out with a bang", anything from spending money they can't afford to pay back to mass orgies to mass suicides when the appointed day passes without the expected results.
All in all the theists so far have not had a spectacular record, while the atheists have not been tested.
