Tim,
I’m enormous sorry for you ; you didn’t reach the ‘target’ – I’m not intimidated by you!
-Why?! -Because I accumulated many deceniums of “knowledge and ability to understand actual facts.” Non multa, sed multum, it’s true, but not negligible…!
I’m modest: I finished/received only two Masters, several Majors and many Certified diplomas, in various fields, I read tons of books, I learned tens of extensive computer programs, etc.
…but I’m not obtuse!
Regards: Cornel
"What is man..."?!
Remus and Alan,
While I affirmed that
“until now, I didn’t meet a person that can stand on his own and take responsibility for himself...”,
I mentioned olso that apart God we can do nothing. (John 15:5)
Conclusion: there is a possibility to stand..., but conditioned!
Please, do not denature my message!
Cornel
Pete, I reiterated:
"Aren’t gays enough ingenious to invent and use a proper expression for their conjugations?!"
Re. family ‘atributes’, reproduction is one of the primary functions - it excludes gay people!
Tim,
When a person affirms that he/she is on a correct position as a gay, that person pushes his/her parents into eclipse (irreverence)…
Reproduction is one of the primary functions of the family. 
“Gay marriage” expression, must be eradicated, because it refers to a ‘gay coalition’, not a marriage.
Aren’t gays enough ingenious to invent and use a proper expression for their conjugations?! 
“He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit”
is for ‘vine and branches’.
Re. “gay marriage”, this is a nonsense expression.
When two homosexual people pretend to be a family , because they cannot procreate, even their beings become human ‘mistakes’!
The men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly…, …
Sinful, vicious, and disgusting!!!
Anomalies:
For a homosexual person, a woman is a second hand human being…, or a surrogate…!
Gay mariages are doubtful and inexplainable for children…
Child adoption is another nonsense re. gay mariages, because gays aren’t parents…!
A movie about Russia is notably naturalistic…, because, since Peter the Great, Russia invaded continuously w/ wild military forces, wild communism, wild gasoducts and so on… 
Guys, are you kidding w/ this hypothetical statement:
“The world will only change for good when people decide that they can stand on their own and take responsibility for themselves.”?!
Until now, I didn’t meet a person that can stand on his own and take responsibility for himself...
... but, there is a hope:
“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
Stinkie,
As per your comment re. Leviticus 20:13, God is a primitive person…!!!
“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!” (Romans 11:33)
Tom,
Re. your: "Why not focus on the gift of each fleeting moment?":
“…in Him you have been made complete (), and He is the head over all rule and authority;” (Colossians 2:10)
()= full true value (spiritual and material)

Mother Teresa was a naïve nun, used by others as a mask, as a ‘color’ for their ‘image’… 
Stinkie,
All civilisations which confounded Liberties (Freedom) w/ Libertinage (neglecting rules such as Leviticus 20:13), were liquidated in an abrupt manner...

Behold the real COMPASSION:
“When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.” (Mark 6:34)
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Yes, TWP Designs, "we will be a lost civilisation"!
Voila an old example, w/ God’s fingerprint:
“He (Jesus) replied: “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!” But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. Before long your enemies (roman army, during Titus – 70 a.d.) will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not accept your opportunity for salvation.” (Luke 19:40-44)
Actual civilisation, again, "did not accept opportunities for salvation"… (it didn’t recognize the time of its visitation...)

Modelhead,
behold several examples of true religion:
“Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in.” (Matthew 7:21)
“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27)
“For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from good works is dead.” (James 2:26)
“… to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;” (Colossians 1:10)
Cornel
Modelhead, let the reader understand!
“God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God. God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. Therefore, as the Scriptures say, If you want to boast, boast only about the LORD.” (1 Corinthians 1:28-31)
Cornel
Re. Modelhead affirmation: “Your God has nothing to offer me...I have it already.”
There will be a new heaven and a new earth and the actual ones will pass away (they will disappear)…! (see, please, Revelation 21:1)
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:16-17)
… or (other version):
“For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:16-17)

Tomasz,
Mayan December 21, 2012 (or, by others, October 28, 20011 – see “GMT correlation”) is not predicting the end of the world; it’s the end of the current calendar CYCLE, the START of a new ERA.
For global catastrophe, preferably see the Revelation, the last book of the Bible!

Voila a comparable Bible text: “Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.” (Ecclesiastes 11:9)
Pete (solo) wrote:
“Is the clockticking on the end of the world?”
Yes, it is! Please verify: “…In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts." These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.” (Jude 1:18-19)
Our necessity is a Spiritual revolution, rather than an “Intellectual Revolution”…!
Alan,
Geomagnetic reversal isn’t a major problem for animals to navigate, becouse the magnetic field is extra for them…

“Find joy”!?
Finding “… love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)
Finding “… the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)
…and, more important (Ely mentioned it), finding/obtaining everlasting life!

Marian wrote:
“I say we should just follow Christ's advice, and love ourselves and our neighbours, after all "All You Need is Love" (The Beatles).”
MARIAN, “Christ's advice” is this:
“I say unto you, love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you…”( Matthew 5:44);
or that:
“But I say unto you that hear, love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.” (Luke 6:27-28)
After that…, you can put “a cherry ('mmm maybe two') on top”!
MIKE, thank you for your ‘words’! Everything is more than OK, because…“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
(Colossians 1:16-17)
Cornel
I ‘mean’ this:
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
(2 Peter 3:3):
“Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking…”
or
“Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing…”
Gunawan,
...as for me (I'm not an U.S. citizen),
that video (that “shoe game”), isn’t a "funny" one.
It’s unqualified…, and unacceptable!
