imans won't be coming back. After that last post, I had to ban him.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I agree completely. If you have to result to insulting people when you can't get your point across you haven't got a good point to share.

Clearly this guy had attitude problems. He was very demanding and showed little respect for others. After that nasty insult in his last post, He needed to be removed from the forum.
I was considering on only warning him but after that, I didn't think he'd take the warning seriously. So banning him seemed to be the right thing to do.
Maybe if he worked on his attitude then this may not of happend.
Oh well....

Ahh, I sees nows.
You know, now that he is no longer a member of this forum you can insult him as much as you would insult hitler. 
He was a no nothing prick!
I'm glad he posted that rude and insulting post, Since he was rude, had terrible grammer and I wanted him out. All I needed was a good excuse, Which he supplied me with, (By his last post).
Feel free to insult him my friend, He is no longer a member.

Quoting from Rimmer from Red Dwarf the BBC sci-fi sitcom:
I'd say to imans: "YOU are a total, total...a WORD is yet to be invented to describe how totally whatever it is you are; but you ARE one. And a TOTAL, TOTAL one at that."

The end of time prediction is of course mere crap but as a lot of things it brings to our attention some conclusions.
"The Bible says..." ,"The Qur'an says..",other holly scripture say.. these are all generalizations which hide the fact that all of them were written by man,with a certain purpose.
Nobody wrote in ancient times and nobody writes today any text without a purpose.
Who wrote the Bible ,when and to what purpose is studied by scientists for about 200 years.
The latest version of it, sustained by arheological discoveries is that the Old Testament in his close to the known to us version was written in the 6-th century in the kingdom of Jehudah at the time of king Jehoshijahu.
The main purpose of it seems to have been the pretention of king Jehoshijahu to prove as a descender of king Davids dynasty of his rights to the territory of the than conquerred territory of the kingdom of Israel
by the Assyrians.
Predictions of end of times could possible have been to convince people to stick to the desires of the king,or else God will punish them by bringing about them a total cataclism.
The reality of this threat is evidently the same as those writen by Erasmus or other "true" or "false" prophets.
