What do you think about the whole world being punished or destroyed?

According to many religious prophecies, the world is going to be chastised or punished because God is upset at the sins of man? What do you think of it if the prophecy were true?

Seems like adding insult to injury of a crappy world. I understand that bad people should be punished and they even deserve it, but why destroy the entire world or earth itself? Like throwing the baby out with the bath water, I guess.

This isn't in the Old Testament, so not my concern.

There is still a possible case that we are. To start, look at the events in the world, Jesus did say in those times there will be full of deception and tribulation, like it is today. It is arguable that this is "the time" on the prophetic time table or not.

I am still bit nervous about it all.

Anyone who thinks that they are strongly connected to things that's been said in the Middle East a couple thousand years ago are fooled by the kind of people from whom the whole religious crap originates from.

People are part of what they call "God", only people got so stupid that they forgot it. The world is infinite and it's impossible to destroy it. Anything that says something along those lines is either symbolic or hogwash.

But what about the law that all material is finite?

That's a Kabbalist law called Tzimtzum, in which the infinite, eternal God called Ain Soph or Ein Sof creates the finite universe. I don't share that view. There is only the eternal, infinite world aka "God", and everything that's apparently finite is a transitional state.
