This sucks, I gave all my savings to Harold Camping. Now I have nothing to offer Bolon Yokte. ;)

Not to worry, historically these god things will often just settle for blood, or at least that is how those posing as their human representatives have pitched it in the past. Splash a little blood around, sing a little song, dance a jig and there you're done, the intergalactic gods of death and taxes will eat your neighbor instead. There is a procedure somewhere ...

So should I build an altar and start practicing?

I would advise against this until the last possible moment. The suspension of normal civilization and it taboos after the cosmic gods make their initial appearance well be your best opportunity to engage in this sort activity without some legal complication occurring. Remember, the time to go bat-shit crazy is after the fall of civilization and not before.

If course, we'd have to assume the "Cosmic Gods" give a rats arse about what we do.

Please Gene. Do not diss the cosmic gods. Are you trying to get us all consigned to the lower realms for eternity? Of course they are preoccupied with everything that we eat, say, and excrete. Don't you read the literature? If the sky were ever to crack open and the gods of mythology and religion were to spill out, the superstitious irrational behavior of mankind would go up exponentially overnight.

Really???? They better clean up their own mess that they spill down here - we are still reeling from BP.
 
So you think the Landlord has returned; perhaps our lease has expired. I had a dream. Celestial craft were air dropping magical mushrooms, and everybody suddenly realized how crazy this world actually is. I woke up and realized it was just a dream. The nightmare we all face is real.
 
Now look here. We are talking Cosmic Gods of the Jack Kirby and H.P. Lovecraft variety here, not posers like Sai Baba with his parlor tricks.
 
I spent much of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area (Silicon Valley). I now live in Montana. You appear to be trying to think outside the box but are uncertain what path to take. Keep it as simple as possible and use your intuition. People in other countries have experienced hardship and strife that is hard for Americans to imagine. I suspect life has not been easy for you. Keep the faith!

You really think so? I believe God is vegetarian... Nice "God" in your head you have there...

Dear Ela,

Everything I've said in this thread was meant to be humorous and satirical. Other than the Sai Baba was a poser comment nothing I said should have been taken seriously in anyway what so ever. For the record, I do not believe that god, gods, or goddesses exist anywhere but in the imaginations of human beings. While other intelligent species may exist somewhere with god-like powers (either technological or natural) and may have visited Earth in the past, they should not be considered divine or worthy of any sort of worship or allegiance. I apologize if my attempts at humor were interpreted incorrectly.

Only thing we agree on is Sai Baba. He was not just a poser, he was hypocrite, liar (he was claiming he is God) and thief (to use proper words).

You've pretty much done a excellent job of summing it up that sorry specimen of humanity. There are other things that could be said about his behavior but let's not speak ill of the dead any more than we have to.

There was scientific proof on National Geographic that God exists. They said that probability that this creation that surrounds us, planet and Universe is created itself is equal to probability that hurricane builds Boeing 747 from it's parts laying on the floor. Below zero.

Well hell, I had no idea National Geographic had finally put to rest the question of the ages.

I don't know what maguey means, but I'm getting a clue. And I understand, in Europe is the same shit going on. In my country - we had heavy criminals in government that ended up in prison and new government came. I don't know how they will do. They sound ok, but... I agree prison is very lovely punishment (as well as death. I believe they should do hard work, grow their own food to survive and much more like cleaning big piles of garbabe near every city... and ones who they made suffer should contribute to sentence. What they did to Jesus... I think payback time came. It won't be easy...) for those and that's why we need Bolon Yokte to come back. He/She knew how to punish the bastards. In my country we have saying: stick (better to say baseball stick) has came from heaven. You can see in pictures of angels in churches you can see that they use spears killing villains. They do kill, they punish, that is all hell is about. I call that rank of angels - Shiva division (little of India to explain it better). You do hell to one, one has right to return. Karma principle. Call it primitive but it is only way how it works. But society of today doesn't allow it, that's why justice doesn't work. No punishment - you have what is going on today. No one is responsible to make it work but corrupted system itself. God than used to be - some called him/Her brutal. Now you speak almost like Him/Her, He/She knew what villans are capable of doing. Now you know too. And... I don't believe that Sai Baba death on Easter was coincidence. There are more signs around.

I dunno. I'm kinda tired of expecting help from on high, or waiting for Messiahs to deliver us from evil.

I'm tired of being treated like a child; I prefer to interpret our tumultuous times a sign that humanity is demanding to be treated as grown-ups, and not kids —or worse, cattle.

Though I agree with you : God is not a gentle teacher. When you flunk the test, you get an F —as in (F)looding ;)
 
Again, I don't think I share your opinion. One of my idols, Spanish author & researcher J.J. Benítez, was once interviewed and asked about this End Times brouhaha; his response was very interesting, because he said the idea that the s#%t was going to hit the fan pretty soon was ludicrous.

He said that if we compared the lifestyle of the poorer sectors of society today, with how peasants lived in the Middle Ages, it was evident that we've done real progress in advancing the quality of life. A lower middle-class citizen in Europe lives far better than a Medieval king did in terms of health, education, and entertainment.

The reason we might feel otherwise it's because we're being constantly bombarded with news reports showing all kinds of disasters. But that has always been the case in the history of mankind! the difference is that instead of learning about a cataclysm that happened on the other side of the world 100 years later, today you learn about it 100 seconds later.

If anything, the bright side is that we are becoming more intolerant to injustice and human suffering, even the suffering of people we'll never have the chance to meet in person --and that is not necessarily a bad thing IMO :)

So whenever I get depressed about global events, I remember Benítez's words.

True, that doesn't mean there's LOTS of work that needs to be done to fix our planet. But we need to keep a positive attitude about it, lest we become overwhelmed & desperate.

...Or maybe I just woke up today with a good mood :P
