I can't think of a bigger waste of fucking time.
No learning is a waste of time,it's all personal and relative.
However,the statement about studying the Bible is also a rather arrogant and stupid ad hominem. IE "you don't agree with me because you're ignorant" In fact, a lot of us here are former theists who have read and studied the Bible.
Some of us get a bit miffed when some willfully ignorant fool comes along with his exclusivist drivel and proceeds to to tell us how wrong we are,unlike his wise and holy self.
I have never once seen any evidence which proves the existence of pecognition ( predicting the future) That includes all religious prophecy, including fatuous Christian claims that the mythicak Jesus of the Gospels fulffilled prophecy of the Torah. [ for the Messiah]. He didn't.
Claims made by Adventists, JW's and other failed millenarian sects are invariably made after the event or via some inventive interpretation of the surreal Book of Revelations.
To be fair, I've never actually come across a specific prophecy; EG at 2.30pm Wed 23 June 2012, Jesus wil come again,appearing at the hippodrome in Dallas Texas. OR: On Monday 2 August 2010 at 11am, Iran will destroy Israel with a nuclear bomb. (or vice versa) Christian prophecy of the evangelical variety usually needs to be interpreted by some semi-literate redneck who barely reads English, let alone ancient Greek or Hebrew.
