Maybe this is the oldest profession and not prostitution. :-). God used the future to write history or was it history to write the future or both? Interesting brother.

Maybe this is the oldest profession and not prostitution. :-).

Microsoft just started an in-house futurist division, Google employs futurists, Kellogg, Shell, and Nokia have huge futurist divisions, and most of the health industry employs futurist firms for strategy and scenario development. I happen to know some other futurist uses that are very exciting, though they are completely proprietary at this point. Sorry, baiting like that is just cruel... Now, if those within the "Christian World" will stop being "lazy" and utilize futures thinking instead of relying on isolationist and escapist theology and practices, seeing that the open future is the domain of our responsibility in Christ!
