C'mon. Really?!? I consider the riches of religious faith are deeper than one person can fathom even in a lifetime of study.

Or a Poe trying to make Christians seem dim-witted. Or not. The fact that it's impossible to tell the difference a Poe and a dim-witted religionist for sure unless the Poe let's you in on the joke is the point of Poe-hood.

Why yes. Yes it is. Good thing Christian didn't claim to be a subject matter expert on Hinduism or Islam.

Isn't it a bit odd that diwali occurs just near halloween? Both pagan festivals and the indian muslims with their jihad. Surely, these are too obvious to ignore and signs of something about to happen.

Isn't it s bit odd that the Xtians celebrate the birth of their "christ" child on the ROMAN PAGAN Feast of the Sol Invictus - and they do so with all manner of stupid celebrations - trimming trees - lying to kids about Santa - and lots of other nonsense

Sure this is too Obvious to ignore

AS far as predicting the future - I do not know - It appears that revelation is so general in nature - that it can be used to predict almost anything.

Example - I live in the EASTERN USA - where we are just in our FALL season. I predict that the amount of minutes we get of sunlight on our area will diminish every day through the end of the year.

And I know it will happen because I am a GOD.

Bet you never expected to get a response from an actual GOD - did ya?

It's a sign that Halloween is about to happen.
"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."

Christian, I get the feeling that you needed to hear a sane and unbiased response to this to ease your fear- a fear which gets exasperated when you listen to your fellow nut jobs. Win-win. We eased your mind and you got to keep your Christian exterior.
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

Diwali is Hindu, not Muslim, and Hindus don't practice jihad.

Ignorant wretch.
