Rapture October 7th, 2015

When they repeatedly fail, how come it never seems to dent their faith and they're just happy to carry on to the next prediction?
You must surely start to question things when nothing happens, but no, no shame, no admitting they're wrong, no fuck all. I despair about these people.

These idiots go back to their bible and tease out where they made an error or misinterpretation. "Ah, so there really was an event on May 21, 2011! How could we be so blind? It's right there in XXX:YYY! Plain as day!"
Invisible Day of Judgment. You gotta hand it to them for creativity.

Denial, confirmation bias, emotional reasoning and just wanting it to be true sooooooo much.

The bastards kicked me out of their group. Can't see anything any more.

How'd they figure it out?
You were planning to hold your tongue. Did you lose that battle?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

All true, but let's not forget vanity, a deep-seated schadenfreude they're sure their god will satisfy, fanaticism, and plain old stupidity.

They are extremely sensitive and have their radar out for anything that smells funny.
I posted some random verse from the OT and boom! Banned.
They were in a Bible verse-posting tizzie at the time too. I must have posted the wrong thing.
