The ECLIPSE! It's going to be a sign from GAWD!

The ECLIPSE! It's going to be a sign from GAWD!
The Fundies are at it again.  Billy Graham's daughter (among others) are pointing at the eclipse and screaming "the sky is falling!".  It's a sign to REPENT!  God is speaking to you!

They claim that god will use the eclipse to give a message to America.  Dunno what that message IS, other than the vague "repent".  
A predictable celestial phenomenon is a sign from gawd.  When will they ever wake up?  When will they realize that their "god" is really crappy at communicating -
he can't even give this small group of loonies the message that he supposedly manipulated the sun and moon to give to his pet humans?
Mind-boggling.

I had nothing to do with this one.

Someone who wanted t see the eclipse was telling me these things happen all over the world like 52 times a year. I'm not sure I really believe it, but it's not the huge mystical event that people make it out to be. It's just the moon moving between the sun and the earth. It's not a big deal.

Well, I won't knock people for wanting to see it. You guys have fun. But really it's not a sign from the gods.

No rational person thinks it's more than just a big light show in the sky.

Funny how evil godless scientists can predict to the second when this eclipse will occur, ain't it ??

If it really was a god thing, he might consider for greater impact making it a SURPRISE !!

Wow. It's something we've been able to predict with remarkable accuracy for decades, if not centuries (and I know for a fact that Ptolemy actually had a reasonably accurate method for predicting lunar eclipses, and Edmund Halley predicted the time of a 1715 solar eclipse within an accuracy of four minutes), and we still have people (who should, theoretically, know better) who think it's God sending a message.

Well, at least they've hedged their bets saying it would contain a sign from God and not actually being a sign from God.

I actually met someone once who thought lighting came from god. I forgot to ask him which god. I was mainly just perplexes that a middle aged man would think something like that. I told him he must have failed his physical science class.

Wonder if they'll give it as much credence as Heaven's Gate people gave Hale-Bopp?

The article did say that they were to "rend our hearts".

From the link>

Quote:That's the question some Bible scholars have been weighing as this unique eclipse is about to happen on August 21st. It is the first of its kind to be seen within America since 1257.

What's the stupid cow talking about? Alex K, get your arse over here.

Found it.

Quote:Astronomers dubbed the upcoming event the Great American Eclipse because for the first time since 1257 — yes, 760 years — the total solar eclipse will touch only American soil.

A big 'So Fucking What?'
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
