3 Secrets of fatima

RE: 3 Secrets of fatima
I can only assume the reason I've never heard this is because it's too big of a load of shit to even make fun of (or I'd have at least heard something about it on youtube by now). Anyone want to go into any details on this? I tried looking through here and didn't find anything I found clear or consistent on what this is all about.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

because she was illiterate. But she was clever enough to follow the same formula all successful "prophets" do, viz make their predictions vague and generalised enough that random idiots (oh, like I don't know... snerie) can pin any actual event they're worried about (or even, as in your case, fantasy events only tangentially related to reality) to the "prophesy" and claim it to be true.

I had to put this somewhere.



It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Basically a young, imaginative, reasonably intelligent, fame hungry and very manipulative young girl was bored one day and she convinced her two cousins that she could see the virgin Mary. Eventually the whole thing spiralled out of control and about eight months later about fifty thousand people found themselves in a field listening to this young girl. About five thousand of the most stupid did what she said and stared at the sun until they suffered permanent retina damage, causing them to think it danced in the sky and that they themselves saw visions of Mary (the minimally intelligent people knew staring at the sun was a bad idea and hence didn't see a thing out of the ordinary). The church jumped on this "vision" as the rcc does.

About forty years later the young girl, by now a middle aged nun, dictated three "prophesies" to a literate nun, as she was again feeling unappreciated. The first two predicted events that she already knew happened a) that her two cousins would die of the flu pandemic along with loads more people, and b) that Germany and Russia would go to war (because of Russian "errors"; incidentally her prophesy at the time could possibly have meant that she thought Hitler was the good guy) and the third was an incoherent mess, something similar to John of Patmos' bad shroom trip at the end of the bible (which the church decided "predicted" the Turkish guy shooting Wotyjla).

"Russia would spread her error throughout the word causing many wars"

The Soviet Union was attacked in 1941 by the church backed regime of Hitler.  Seems to me they had little choice but to fight back.


"and persecution of the church and of the holy father. "

In the aftermath of the German assault Stalin actually came to a rapprochement with the Russian Orthodox Church.  I doubt if many people in Russia gave a flying fuck about the pope.


and that at the end 'Russia would be converted and the world would enter a period of peace"

Well, the three little shits certainly blew that part of the "prophecy" didn't they?

I was going to ask in what year this was but it probably doesn't matter. It sounds to me like the same circumstance that led people to blow up the entire Roswell mythos.

Guys, isn't it natural for ALL prophecies to be fake. Other than guessing or based on common sense or just pot luck!

If someone can see the future, then they should be able to describe it in detail.

This would also mean that the future is set and there is no free will...

Not to mention the ramifications for physicists and our reality as we know it.

So ,  Mary decides to make the Sun jiggle in Fatima and puts on a cheesy Nostradamus act. At the same time one million Armenian Christians are being slaughtered while their prayers are ignored. Next thing you know God will be showing up on grilled cheese sandwiches while famine strikes South Sudan.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

G calling me an idiot now, How thoughtful of you. at a last note it also says that the would would enter a period of peace and it is generally and we are currently living in probably the most peaceful time in our existence. If you look at at a statistic you will notice that war has greatly decreased since the fall of the soviet union other than that it does't really have much value.
