Congratulations. The first time is always the hardest.

Aw man! And I was supposed to be a Girl Scout fall camp leader on the 27th! I've been working my butt off making a pioneer costume and everything.
Well, I supposed it isn't all for naught. The girls are all wicked after all, joining such a radical leftists lesbian feminazi pro-abortion group, so I suppose me and all my baby eating female volunteer friends and all those evil little girls will still be here to attend camp after the lord raptures up the "godly" women.

BTW, is this guy for real? Poe's law and everything makes it hard to tell.

With Christians, you can't go far wrong by attributing to genuine idiocy what otherwise might appear to be satire. This is another miracle of Christianity.

I"ve lost track of the date we're expecting the world to end. How soon before the prof gets served his humble pie?

Couple weeks yet.

My prediction: he'll find some world event that happens on the day, and say he really meant the "end of the world" as a metaphor for the day everything really went to shit.
"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

Mere millionaires are far, far below you.

Do you really think in that powerful lofty position that you would cross your fingers and hope for your continued success (option A)?
Or would you INSURE through all means possible that you remain in control of your destiny (option B)?
But we know how the super-rich remain in control of their destiny. It's called... BEING SUPER-RICH. Is there anyone who doesn't think that the ultra-wealthy use their money to buy influence at all levels of business and government? It's as if you told us about this closely-held secret about how it only rains on cloudy days.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

It intimately is relevant to where we are in time and what lies ahead.

I am going by memory-
As the battle of Waterloo was being won by the British, a messenger pigeon was launched to the staff of a certain London banker whose name means - Red Shield.

Seriously? The Rothschild conspiracy?

There's a reason this doesn't get mentioned in schools. Care to guess what it may be?

Here's a hint. That quote you brought up ("Give me control of a countries money and I don't care who runs it") was, if you'd bothered to give the dates, allegedly made by Mayer Amschel Rothschild in 1838. What's especially interesting is the historical fact that the man was most unlikely to have said that - seeing as he died in 1812.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Me next! My last name translates from German to Falcon Stone. What sort of demonic business do I have planned, prof?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
