I think four hundred years is enough,

Oops - just a slip of the memory (not working it out or anything).

So in 400 years time, we go through 146,097 days?
Jazzmaster:
I always find it funny how these comic discussion and speculation threads get going well before the work week is even upon us.
Not that there's a problem with that. At least it's not like Daft Punk's latest album, which had over 5,000 reviews on the iTunes store before it was even released (and before they even opened the free stream in the iTunes store).

--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 26 May 2013, 12:53 ---I've always meant to read the major religious texts, just haven't gotten around to it.
--- End quote ---
The world was created by a divine being or beings out of a formless void and some people extolled the god(s) they worshiped and were either accepted into some afterlife or were damned and then in the end, the divine being(s) destroys the world.
There you go. Every religious text ever summarized in one sentence.

Thank you Ambassador G'Kar.

--- Quote from: ankhtahr on 26 May 2013, 14:48 ---The Hávamál is a great read e.g. (which is where the quote from Valdís' signature originates). It's basically a loose collection of tips on how it's best to lead your life, but only tips, no requirements.

It contains some real gems. My favorite is this: "Who is ashamed to ask is ashamed to learn."

--- Quote from: Loki on 26 May 2013, 13:44 ---I think Church of Mormon, while arguably Abrahamic in nature, doesn't mention anything about the end of the world.
--- End quote ---
The Mormons see themselves as a branch of Christianity. It may be that they have no writings of their own on the end of the world, but they share those of other Christians.
--- Quote from: Loki on 26 May 2013, 13:44 ---In fact, I think most religions don't have anything on end of the world. Three that I can think of right now (that don't) are Egyptian myths, Church of Satan and the World of Warcraft lore (okay, that probably shouldn't count in so far that it is more like history). I am also not sure that Scientology has anything on creation of the world.
--- End quote ---
A central tenet of the Baha'i faith is that there will never be a last profet. More will always be coming. I think we can deduce their thoughts on the end of the world from this.
