Maybe the myth was borrowed or adopted from the original source?That being the case, why isnt there a prevailing myth/legend about fires destroying everything among different cultures of the world?

Across cultures seperated by oceans with no proven contact?
Ok....I think we should just blame aliens and leave it at that. ok?
I wonder what happened to throwing the first stone, and judge not lest ye, and beams in eyes and stuff.You sir have offended me greatly.[...]
And you wonder why you atheists face hostility and distrust by the religious people.
On CFC: atheists are more pushy, by far.
Not to mention arrogant, offensive, rude, and hold a "Me smart atheist, you dumb religious" attitude.
Try Norse or Roman or Native American mythology. There are probably quite a few more.That being the case, why isnt there a prevailing myth/legend about fires destroying everything among different cultures of the world?
I just did think about it, and concluded candle is your double login. Allow me to explain:You notice how candle avoids my posts? Think about it.
Several reasons.It's kinda like the smoking thread. Being called arrogant and rude just because I'm an atheist doesn't make me want to be patient and polite in return. If I'm going to be called arrogant and rude anyway I don't see why I should make the effort to be polite.
Several reasons.
1. You show them to be wrong.
2. You show them to be hypocrites.
3. You gain a nice moral high ground, while they have to claw their way up to your level backtracking and explaining they didn't mean all atheists.
4. Warm and fuzzy ironic feeling inside knowing you did, as an atheist, What Jesus Would Do, while they are taking the 'Roman' approach.
5. Because in this specific case you know in advance you'll get the: "I'm sorry, but <generic denial>" response.
Lots of reasons to reply politely to those smelly ugly bastards.

1. He always avoids your posts.
2. You are a smart man.
3. You draw attention to the avoidance of your posts yourself (just what a smart man with a double login would do to avoid suspicion).
4. ????
5. Elementary Dear Watson.
Thinking hertz!
I'm not all that knowledgeable in Norse Mythology, so I had to resort to the Googlemobile.I thought ragnarok was the final 'battle' not a big fire.
Why? It would be devious and brilliant and beautiful and devious! You'd have been my forum hero for a dayActually, I am kind of offended that you would even think this.
Despite talk of atheists who are supposedly just as pushy about their unbelief as the religious, I have never met a single atheist or agnostic like that. I am more apt to believe that theists are so insecure about their faith that they find any atheists in their midst to be an intrusion. Moreover, I have been accosted numerous times by pushy religious proselytizers and not a single time by atheists.

In the beginning was Muspell, the realm of fire. It is a place of dreadful light and heat. Only its natives, the Fire Giants, can tolerate its flames. Surt, a Fire Giant, guards Muspell's border, armed with a flaming sword. At the end of the era, at Ragnarok, Surt and his companions will destroy all the Gods and and their world with fire.

I know, I was just kidding. I thought I was pretty obvious in doing so too. Guess I wasn't so: Anything I said the last few posts which was not about mythology was utter bull. I don't think you'd make a dl, and if you did, you still would capitalise correctly. Expect for just now when you didn't. And you missed an r. Wait, let me fix that.Well, first of all, I would never create a dl just to put Christianity into a bad light. 2ndly, I dont go around insulting other faiths/denominations and wouldnt do it under a dl either, as I consider it wrong. In other words, it simply wouldnt make sense for me to portray Christians like that as its directly opposite of how I feel.

That's ******ed! So the Fire Giants live in the realm of fire, where only the Fire Giants survive. There lies Surt, with a flaming sword. Why does he need a flaming sword? Either it's a redundant statement (since everything is flaming there) or it's a useless feature since they are all immune. Great sword, Surt.
