Clyde Arronway, this seems almost like a religious discussion rather than a world-events discussion. I don't see how a lot of what you've said has anything to do with reality.

Science states that this destruction will happen... what will happen afterwards is the point of this thread. --Clyde Arronway

I've never heard this. Could you provide a source?

As for what would happen if Jerusalem was destroyed in an earthquake, maybe it'd be one less thing for people to murder each other over. Maybe seeing the "holy city" demolished in a random, meaningless natural disaster would wake some people up in the world.

Then again, maybe people from various religious groups would rush into the newly-opened area in a blind, violent fury, eager to grab up lands for themselves and also eager to slaughter all who would trespass, all in the name of Yahweh the Destroyer. Probably much more likely. JudeoChristiMoslems have had a couple thousand years to work out their differences with each other, and there has probably been progress in that time, but extremely slow and won at great cost; I don't see that much of anything is going to change drastically any time soon.



Jerusalem should be a place that's cherished for and by everyone.... --Big D

If I understand you correctly (I may not), this is almost an insult to non-JudeoChristiMoslems in the world. Of which there are quite a few. Jerusalem means nothing more to me than any other city for example. Nor does it mean anything to a Buddhist, a Taoist, or a Hindu, so far as I would guess.
