That Day will come as a trap on all the world

RE: That Day will come as a trap on all the world
I'm betting that when the time comes it will be easy enough to imagine some other force that changed the prophecy and the numerologists will get cracking, hallucinating more fanciful meanings from other random numbers. They will weave and write and spin the most interesting sounding ideas about nothing. I had a friend who was into this prophet and he gave me a pamphlet of doom and gloom but every prophecy was vague and followed by a clause that if only enough believers would pray then the doom would be averted. HOW CONVENIENT! I should start doing that for every airline flight. Flight 666 is going down in flames unless enough believers pray for their safe landing. Then, no matter what the outcome, I can say see see they crashed, or I could applaud all the believers for the air they passed through their lungs in fervent noise-making to avert this tragedy!

I hate prophecy, and prophets!

Deuteronomy 18:20 ESV

But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’

REPENT oh ye weaver of falsehoods!

Guys.

You guys. We'd better start practicing our smug faces now, if we want to get it up to the nuclear levels of self satisfaction we'll need to get back at "professor" for making us read that whole spiel. Big Grin

That was a lot of stupid in one post from the "professor".

History has shown that on the many many many occasions the end has been prophesied by rabid theists not once has it happened.

It's like a Cubs fan at the end of every June knowing they're already hopelessly out of contention: "There's always next year".

I did too. Who doesn't like fantasy-fiction? Prof should start writing kids books. The first one could be titled... "Big Monsters Are Coming To Eat You". That'd be bitchin.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way up to heaven prof.

I pray that you are correct. If only there was such an easy way to be rid of so many fundies.

So, "professor", how shall we know whether this "prophecy" has come true or not?

You know, so you can't weasel out of it when it doesn't happen.
