I'mma laugh if in 2012 we were all like **** he was right //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif.

yeah but what sucks is that nostra leaves it open and says we can change the future of man if we just make the right moves.....so if 2012 comes and we all dont die well all say he was dumb......but maybe it just means we did something right? lol i wish he woulda just said, kill him, take over this and the world will be good lol

its like he planted this shit and is playing his own game of the sims..planting shit and seeing what well do with it lol

well considering he wrote these things in 1550 they technically are predictions....

No, they aren't.

We try to find events we can connect them to after the events have occurred.

That's not predicting anything........

Out of the deepest part of the west of Europe,

From poor people a young child shall be born,

Who with his tongue shall seduce many people,

His fame shall increase in the Eastern Kingdom.

Adolf Hitler, born in Austria of poor parents, with his knowledge of mob psychology and powers of speech, was successful in seducing many people , even in the Eastern Empire of Japan. In some quatrains Nostradamus refers to Hitler as the child or sometimes captain of Germany. Here are two examples:

He shall come to tyrannize the land.

He shall raise up a hatred that had long been dormant.

The child of Germany observes no law.

Cries, and tears, fire, blood, and battle.

A captain of Germany shall come to yield himself by false hope,

So that his revolt shall cause great bloodshed.

All of these images certainly describe Adolf Hitler.

took that from the website i posted earlier...how is that not a prediction if it was written in 1550...sounds pretty accurate to me.....

and the vast majortiy of people in history have read the bible and listened to stories about god and run around life trying to pick things out like child birth, finding virgin mary in grilled cheese sandwiches as proof of god and jesus christ.....hows that any different?

the stuff in the previous post describing hitler is way more accurate than me believing mary was a virgin and gave birth and jesus christ was the son of god..... if ur daughter told you "dad im pregnant but im a virgin" what are you gonna tell her.......

I WANT TO TAKE THIS TIME TO SAY IM IN NO WAY TRYING TO OFFEND CHRISTIANS, CATHOLICS OR ANY OTHER RELIGIOUS PEOPLE...... just playing devils advocate and using it as an example....still trying to figure out myself if i believe in religion or not........

It scared the shit out of me

I'm pretty sure that people just hate feeling insecure.

About themselves, their love, their jobs, their finance, and on and on and on.

The same could be said about the perception of their future.

The idea that someone saw the timeline that is unfolding now in the past is comforting because it points to some sort of order.

I would even go on a limb and say only the existentially insecure care about Nostradamus.

or you could say the insecure wants to not care about nostradamus and doesnt want one more thing to be insecure about......knowing when ur life is going to end would make everyone go insane....especially if it was going to end when you were relatively young and havent accomplished anythign yet.....

I would find such an epic comfort in having some magic wizard from the past tell me about how my life and the future of my world were to unfold. And I'd wager I'm not alone.

PS- I'm roughly 160% sure that squeak was not arguing with you from a christian perspective but from a cynic's perspective. One thats sorely needed in this thread of 50 people saying "OMG DOOMSAYER ON THE TV!". //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

sure id love to know when my life individually was going to end......that would give me time to think of all the things i have to do and want to do before i die.....but to be told that there is a possibility that in 2012 when i will only be 29 that we all MIGHT die a horrible death or we might not die would make me terribly insecure about how im going to live the next 5 years.....

i mean if you believe it you could squeeze in all the good stuff i wanted to live for and not worry about the future.....but what if i spend the next 5 years not caring about the future and then we all dont die.......id rather live in the dark and not know in that case.......

and i wasnt necessarily talking in a christian perspective either...i was just using that as an example of things that im told to believe but dont know for sure that they exist, much like the predictions of nostradamus.....

i just cant grasp the concept of why if i say in 10 years such and such is going to happen, it happens but someone doesnt decipher what i said until a couple years after, how thats not considered a prediction just beucase you didnt understand it or find it before it happened.... thats whats happeing iwth these new books that were found.....911 was essentially predicted, but we didnt find the prediction until afterward...doenst mean it still wasnt a prediciton......

I bet 95% of people would not want to know when they would die. I know I wouldn't. That is not a comfort that is a punishment.

i dont know man, if someone told me i was going to die at like 75 of natural causes id be alright with that because ive got plenty of time to get my life in and accomplish something.....if someone said i was going to die at like 32 in a car accident i bet i wouldnt wake up on like a sunday morning and decide i wasnt going to do anything all day!!!! id live everyday i had left with a purpose instead of taking life for granted....not knowing i wake up and go, well theres always tomorrow lol

Yea but could you live with it? Knowing every day EXACTLY when you will die? It would never get off your mind... you wouldn't be able to sleep or concentrate or enjoy life.
