No, it's not, you're going to die.

For one thing, if you have an incurable disease, you have at least a few hours (usually days, weeks, months or even years) to clean up your life, mend your relationships, finish up your will and die, leaving all your loved ones to mourn you for hopefully more than a few days. The end of the world however....completely different.

Not really. Because say the world is gonna end on Decemember 12, 2012. Well that's 3 years right there.
And if you knew that not only are you gonna die, but that all of your loved ones will die, and your children, and it still dosen't bother you. Then seriously, WTF?
If you knew you were gonna die next year or next month or tommorrow, you're not just gonna go on with life, it's gonna inspire you to do something, you might not be crying and moping about it, maybe you'll kill yourself because you'd rather die at your own hands, or you might try to have as much sex and drugs as possible and live the rest of your hours without any consequences, or maybe you'll go the extra mile and just say f*ck everything and go all Grand Theft Auto and sh*t. And I get the impression that you'd probably end up doing the latter. Point is, it's gonna have some kind of impact on you. And if you say otherwise, you're lying.

It'd be scary as **** just because noone's ever experianced it before, but since humanity would cease to exist as we know it, who really cares? If we haven't lived our lives to the fullest possible every single day (which, lets face it, who actually does that?) then nothing we do in our final hours can fix that, end of the world or not. For goodness sakes, we shouldn't base our lives trying to figure out when we're going to die, we should base it on the fact that, YES, we are all going to die regardless of what we do, and how do we want to be remembered? and if we won't be remembered, how much fun do we want to have?

The point is, if you knew your life would be cut short because of some stupid religious bullsh*t, that everything you have worked for to get from point A to point B was worthless. You're gonna get some kind of emotional response out of it, maybe it's fear, maybe it's sadness, maybe it's anger, but it's gonna be something.

PS-recently I've been trying really hard to find a point for living at all, and can't really find one that doesn't rely on someone elses existance being important.... if none of us are individually important, and as a race our existance isn't really important, then fu.ck it we might as well drive ourselves into the ground.

This is pretty much the mindset of every serial killer on Earth, congratulations.
