just another god hypothetical ...

This thread had such promise to remain aloof and lighthearted. I understand some of the chasm that exists between the believers and the non.

I personally do not share many of my fellow believers exuberance for the Lord's return. It may well be a glorious day for some, but it will be the darkest for the overwhelming majority. Narrow is the gate, broad is the way...reference.

Forgive people like GC and others, in their mind they see people walking towards a cliff and are merely trying to get their attention. Their intentions are honorable. Perhaps that should count for something.

I find irony in the duality often found here.  Open minds, no preconceived notions, foregone  conclusions, no absolutes...  I merely haven't ruled certain things out.  Plausible.  Possible. I didn't imply I had my eyes to the sky looking for Christ flying in on the Millennium Falcon.

For self proclaimed critical thinkers employing the Socratic model to examine the empirical evidence with minimal assumptions and complete objectivity, there sure seems to be a lot of name calling, denial, and bias for other views.

The likely problem was in the word plausible, which does not mean the same as possible. Plausible means you think it is likely to happen and you give it more credit than other possibilities. It has a lot more weight to it than just saying "I haven't ruled it out". I think I know what you mean now, but it did seem a bit unreasonable before you cleared it up in this post.

Correct sir and well stated. I appreciate the help. In retrospect I would have used possible in lieu of plausible. I do not possess the mastery of the English language many here so obviously do.
