When angels appear to people it is always in the form of men. Zechariah 5:9 - Then I looked up--and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth. I suppose now you'll argue that this isn't a description of angels, but just women with functional wings. Difficult deciding which position is more absurd. Extra-biblical accounts of angels are awash with female angels. I suppose this just means not all hallucinations are anatomically correct.

Cribbed from my blog 'cos I'm lazy: Quote:Last Sunday, during The Atheist Experience’s Easter-themed “Zombie Apocalypse” show, a caller who gave his name as Luca revealed that he had contacted Camping’s evangelical Family Radio Worldwide organisation to offer a donation of $10,000. However, there was a condition: if, on May 21, the world does not end, then on May 22 he will expect the money to be returned – plus 10% interest.
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.'
Hasn't anyone published this gem on FSTDT yet? I think I'm gonna...
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped. Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses. Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder. Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids." (September 3, 2014 at 8:21 pm)professor Wrote: My total motivation here at AF is my hearers make the wise choice.

I have an appointment on the 25th that I would really like to keep.
Prof hasn't responded to my deal.
JHC wonders why not? Seems fair enough. If no rapture occurs on or within 24 hours of Sept. 25th, prof agrees to admit he is very very wrong, a naughty, naughty boy, and to seek mental health counseling. If the rapture does occur, Prof can fly over here in his angel-mobile and slit my throat with his Jesus sword. Per the Holy Babble, god has his minions kill one quarter of the population of the Earth - several billion - with a sword, famine, disease or wild animals (how Roman-esque)! Go Yahweh/Jesus/Ghost! Badass mofo deity! No more mister nice guy! Nosireebob! http://www.thebricktestament.com/revelat...6_08b.html So, Prof, we have a deal? Hint - I ain't sceered of no Holy Ghost.

I'll make a counterproposal:
if the rapture does indeed demonstrably occur on September 25th +/- 24 hours, professor can pay me a visit, and as proof that he did so, he can post my home address (which is currently known to no one, as I have not moved in yet). Assuming, I'm able, I'll publicly post that indeed, prof was right and I was wrong. If professor does not fulfill his part of the bargain, he is to seek professional psychological help, after he posts acknowledgment here that he was wrong. Do we have a deal, prof?
Schizophrenia, professor, possibly.
Your starting to go above and beyond what is called for in normal theist brainwashing. What about your other conspiracy predictions? They must be wrong. You might be wrong about everything, hey?
This is actually sad. I have a buddy who is into all of this stuff, and he actually believes it. It's one thing to see it online, it's quite another to come face to face with it in someone you care about
