Yes, which is why they tend to think that as long as they accept Jesus as their personal Lord and savior, they can do whatever they want including treating other people like shit.

Oh, I was already leaning towards laughing I guess it just depresses me that I am of the same species of those that can be so goddamn stupid.

Can someone who kills themself receive a Darwin award?

Posthumously.

I think all you have to do is take yourself out of the gene pool by some creative way through either death or removal of your ability to procreate. I think believing in a doomsday prophecy and then killing yourself when it doesn't come true should count.

Which is how the evangelical christianity manage the staggering feat of surpassing catholicism in its shittiness.

Because some of our politicians actually believe this crap and vote in that direction. Because some of the electorate believe in that crap and it influences national politics. Because many of the electorate and politicans believe in that crap and therefore support Israel 100% no matter what they do, because in order for the rapture to happen, the Jews must remain on the "holy land".

Thats just the tip of the ice berg........any more questions?

Hey..I thought you loved that shit? Cryptography? Fuck that, I would rather work with high voltage.

It could be worse, tommorrow I have to do 8 hours work running 3" pipe for high voltage 70 foot in the air of an auditorium ceiling, then right after that I have to go and give 3 electrical exams and THEN go sit on the credit union board and sift through loan applications and shift our percentages to be competetive while still making a reasonable profit.

Wanna trade?

...Just write some cheat notes on my beer belly or something..

I have to respect this guy for putting his money where his mouth is. Most of the Christians I encounter claim to have complete faith that God will do this or that, yet they're careful to phrase it in very ambiguous terms so that they can't be proven wrong. For someone to make a specific claim and actually bet their life savings on it shows genuine faith.

Not if they intentionally kill themselves.

Apparently, quite a few do. Those expensive-ass billboards on I-95 & I-295 don't pay for themselves & they have been up for months.
