1. Link that you provided blames it on climate change:
PHOENIX — Climate change and a growing demand for water could drain two of the nation's largest manmade reservoirs within 13 years, depriving several Southwestern states of key water sources, scientists warn.

Researchers at San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography said Wednesday that there's a 50 percent chance that lakes Mead and Powell will dry up by 2021, and a 10 percent chance the lakes will run out of usable water by 2013.

"We were surprised that it was so soon," said climate scientist David Pierce, co-author of the institution's study that detailed the findings.

The study, which was released Tuesday, found that if current conditions persist, there's a 50 percent chance the reservoirs will no longer be able to generate hydropower by 2017.

Lake Mead, on the Arizona-Nevada border and the West's largest storage reservoir, and Lake Powell, on the Arizona-Utah border, have been hit hard by a regional drought and are half full.

Both lakes were created by dams built on the Colorado River, which provides water for about 27 million people in seven states.

4. I always wanted to ask those fundie Rapture types one question:
If Earth is so evil, and Heaven is so wonderful, why don't you just KILL yourself to get there sooner? Huh??? Then you won't have to put up with all those evil sinners you're busy judging and condemning.

Why don't they CHEER when Christians die, because they're in that wonderful, fabulous, all-happy-all-the-time heaven? Why don't they? Why are they sad?


:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :wtf:

Oh well, Christianity is pretty much a death cult.

I refuse to take seriously a religion that uses a torture device as its symbol.
