apocalypse

i decided that i don't like apocalypse movies

let me explain

this weekend i rented "legion" which was one such movie. really dark. both in dark lighting and in theme. cause what would a movie about the end of the world be like if it wasn't dark? seems wrong to have happy and cheery apocalyptic movies...

and i realized while watching (and of course reflecting afterwards) that the reason i didn't like this particular movie was that the end of mankind was coming because God had lost faith in humanity. and decided to start over kinda like with noah way back when

and i realized that i did not agree with such a movie because of my beliefs

i'm not comfortable with talk about God going back on promises to not do that again (remember in genesis 6 after noah and the flood came the rainbow=promise to not do that again)

because the God i believe in is the one who would be the one to keep up a promise even when human beings lose their way, which we often do
