No rapture news on the... news, either. And for "professor," no news is bad news. Still 7:35pm on the 24th here in Sydney. Pretty normal ride home from work thus far.
That so didn't look right until I realized that you're not talking about Sydney, Australia.

Yet another doomsday we seem to have survived..
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Just once I wish they'd get it right.
That would teach us atheists!

I phrased it like that intentionally. There is a bit of a local joke about it because every so often someone will end up here on when their intended destination was Sydney Australia. Incidentally I want to travel to Sydney Australia someday. One of many places on that list.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Ya know, this site is a real exercise in bi-polarity for me, sometimes (like now) you guys are as much fun as a barrel of monkeys.
Other times, I think "Oh man, I should go and see what's cooking" but am reluctant.
Is this normal?

Is this normal? Somehow I don't see a barrel of monkeys as fun. That sounds rather cruel really. Trollface

I believe September 25th has already dawned in some parts of the world. Should I dial random numbers from those parts to see what voices from after the end of time sound like?

How exactly does one specify the unspecific? Seems to be a contradiction afoot.
Yay, you spotted the joke!

Well, apparently there's going to be a big bang (steady, Losty - breathe!) which is going to be heard around the world. Not to mentioning exploding the eardrums of anyone within several miles from it, presumably. So the doomsday window must be pretty precise.

Anyway, nearly twenty past midnight here and all's quiet. Too quiet..?
Not even raining. What a letdown.
