The end of the world

[Supernaut]

Only 7 days left. LOL You know i read in the past whenever there was a claim that the Christ would come back some people are so stupid that they sold their houses, everything actually. Why? Do they need a pocketful of cash to greet Jesus? can you imagine how foolish they felt when their hero never showed? Wonder what Harold's excuse will be?

OH NOES!!! LOL reminds me of the Jehovahs Witnesses when they predicted the end on various dates between 1914 and 1975. What a sad way to live.

Remember when the world was suppose end on 1/1/2000 but nothing happened? Some of the nutters that believed in y2k said the reason why the world didn't end because they got the date wrong. The samething can be said for all the rapture movements. When the rapture doesn't happened they pull a new date out of their ass and a bible verse to match when world doesn't end they do the something over and over. http://www.bible.ca/pre-date-setters.htm

If any of these eve hit it, i'm going to be personally pissed at god for not letting me see the end of ONE PIECE

Not even a eldritch abomination would be as evil

You see those pictures of the RV? How can anyone be happy that the end of the world is going to happen at all, let alone this Saturday? These people are just plain nuts.

And how quickly are they going to have to get those RV's repainted on May 22nd?

And does this look like a cult or what?


Anyone want to take bets on whether a large batch of special Kool-aid will be made up this Saturday?

But in his devotion, Mr Fitzgerald has financed the entire New York ad campaign with his own money, adding that he wants to take as many people with him as he can.

Why does this sound foreboding to me?

Because delusional religious fuckwits are dangerous.

I guess the point is to frighten people and make them convert so they would not go to hell. And to fascinate the gullible christians that thirst for fantasies.

Possibly, but when that exact date comes & goes with nothing happening, do you think these recent converts are going to keep taking you seriously?

Well, if you've not succeeded indoctrinating them enough until then, they would flee. Otherwise, you'll have to find some excuse for the fact that nothing happened (which, oddly, seems to work - there are preachers and stuff setting an end of the world, and after that date, people still believe those preachers).

And the money comes from the state :). Isn't that 'nice'? :))

Wut? How do you figure that?

It's easy: there are thousands (or more, in a country I mean) of pastors and priests and bishops and archbishops, and I don't know the protestant hierarchy, which should have followed. Anyway, all they do is preach and receive money. Question: from where do they receive money? They don't have separate job, to earn their money from there. Answer: The priests have been paid by the state since antiquity, and they are still paid now (along with any religious leader of any christian denomination, islamic denomination, jewish denomination, etc. that is accepted as "official religion", i.e. religion recognized by the state). As you have teachers being paid by the state to is teach, the same way you have preachers being paid by the state to preach. And it is very probable that the maintenance of the religious buildings (i.e. churches, mosques, etc.) to be paid by the state as well.

They are happy because they think they will meet Christ in te rapture while the rest of us idiots are on the Earth gnashing our teeth in anger for not knowing Christ would keep his promise. You have to admit Christians are really entertaining. Look at that picture from the looks of them not one graduated High school.

It would be entertaining if they were of a different species. But they aren't, and do vote.
