<em>Teapot</em> Cobalt Blue From New Scientist:

No disease, no natural conception, no mind of your own. Excited?

Imagine a world without sex and disease, and where all of our brains are networked. It sounds wonderful, but it will bring a new set of moral questions More.

There’s also a special feature on the nature of nothingness.

Party seriously?

It will be impossible...
Luke 1:37. EvilSnack
It will be impossible to escape the fast approaching secular dystopia. We can see it coming, but we are powerless to escape it, for escaping it would require us to leave the planet. Only death (or the Second Coming) can save us. Truth Will Set You Free
"Why are atheist apocalypses worse than other people’s?" Actually, although the atheists's apocalypses are pretty bad, (as is the Christian apocalypse), that pails in comparison to what awaits the person who purposely rejects Christ's atoning sacrifice for their sins and has to stand before the perfect and infinite justice of God all alone.

Verse and Music:
Matthew 5: 29-30 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

1. How did this old Greek word "apocalypse" end up in the English language? 2. What did it originally mean? 3. What does it mean within the context of this OP? 4. If the answers to questions 2 and 3 don't match, why? 5. Is this subject relevant? Yes, no, maybe, don't know? 6. Are the above questions trivial? Yes, no, maybe, don't know? 7. Are any or all of these questions rhetorical? Yes, no, maybe, don't know? Thank you. Dionisio
