I sat down, waiting for some action(work!) until a coworker, approached me and started a rather waste of time religious prophecies crap, I spent the next few minutes nodding my head trying to get a long with the uncomfortable situation. The whole thing started when I began noticing that there are Muslims in USA beside Arabs( they call each other by the word -Brother-) and that guy was from Ethiopia, if I had met him years before I would’ve flew with joy of hearing Islam had reached most of the world, but since I became a rather skeptic obnoxious* guy, I pitied that the damage is spreading all around the world and religions(Abrahamic ones-majorly-) are not stoppable by any means from corrupting the minds of the young.
Let us return to the main subject, that “Brother”, told me one of the most engrossing prophecies that he anxiously started to tell, it was one of Mohammed’s prophecies about the end of the world. His first claim was that the world is getting nearer to its end, that’s because chaos is everywhere. Of course what he meant that he realized that by watching news, I stopped him by explaining to him my viewpoint is that the world is not sinking into deep ocean of catastrophe by pointing out the role of media of filtering out news and presenting the only interesting ones that tune up with human pattern grabbing instinct, and that in time of the ancient Islamic civilization bad news happened all over the world, but since Muslims didn’t know about that doesn’t mean that the world was better!!
He continued telling the prophecy of the end of times, with less enthusiasm since I was not that Allah-praising dude, he said that before Apocalypse come true, Muslim and Romes will get into big fight because of some deal breaking by Romes regarding annihilating the Jews, he then proceeded that today’s Rome is US,, so the US versus Islamic world war is inevitable!!! I questioned his nonsense by, why not that prophecy explained for previous historical events like, Ottomans invasion of Constantine, or Christian crusaded ..etc he replied by that Ottomans didn’t go invading(liberating) Europe by name of Islam(?!) I said “what?!!” now we can erase all Islamic history by simply naming it to every reign that governed that time, I started to show him that I am busy with some papers… cause I know if I carry on with this argument it will never end, from my past experiences with circular arguments.
It doesn’t need anybody to be called an atheist or skeptic, they simply point out themselves by one discussion, if that dude was bright enough he would’ve known that, and could’ve spared me the nonsense.
*For some…
