End of Times and career
October 3, 2016 at 1:41 pm
This question is mostly for Christians, ex-Christians and those who associate with devout Christians --as family members, f.e.
Say, there is a boy who is 18 years old. He is in Senior High. Soon, he will finish it, and then he can study in college, university... But why should he, if he lives in the End of Times?
Why have I started this thread? Well, I am in Europe, and we are godless heathens and I saw plenty of Americans who come to
spread His word here.
Then you have your Bible belt...
Anyway, the End of Times.... I typed in the browser and I get
http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/
http://www.endtime.com/
and plenty of other sites dedicated to it....
What is the point of studying medicine (8 years?), when you get raptured in 2 years?
Probably he should just get a job flipping burgers...

Good question. Let's see if any of them take the bait.
They usually react like this.

Burgers, fuck that. Live in mom and dad's basement and take up heroin.

Looking at the historical data regarding rapture dates, one can see a clear trend. It never, ever, happens. Perhaps he is wise enough to notice this, and decided to pursue a good career; you know....just in case.

Where has this 2 year date come from?
Is that the one this guy subscribes to or is he more fuzzy about it?
Personally I'd find a more immediate date and schedule an 'It's not the end of the world' party for the day after...

Seems like scripture stated it was going to be a surprise apocalypse.
So, once again, sounds like we are dealing with someone who knows better than god again . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Were members of Heaven's Gate stupid? all 39 of them?

So, I think this boy can be clever.
But he may lack life experience....
There is something else I wanted to say and ask, but I want to drink a little wine in a girl's company.
Till later

Extremely credulous, at least.
