Well, it's nice to know that we're finally rid of all the annoying Christians, but I must say that the earthquake was less severe than I thought it would be. In fact, I didn't feel it at all.

Seriously, I got a great recording of WYFR shortwave explaining how THIS IS the date of the rapture because Harold Camping studied the bible for 50 years. And THE BIBLE SAYS THE DATE OF THE RAPTURE AND END OF THE WORLD IS MAY 21, 2011. I'm saving the recording for posterity. The funny part is that at the end of the broadcast, they ask for reception reports and offer frequency schedules...

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Sort of argues against evolution, doesn't it. The continuation of christianity shows that even the most unfit survives. Time to give the flagging efforts of natural selection a artificial helping hand, I say.

Big Grin

You forgot to realize one thing Chuck.

Evolution is not the survival of the fittest, rather the survival of the best adapted.

Damnit did I miss Jesus!?!?

I told myself to set my alarm clock! Damnit!!

So how much chaos has been inflicted on the world??? Catch me up to speed.

Jesus made an appearance at our atheist meetup (guess who) to answer questions. I'll post the video as soon as they get done uploading.

I believe right now most of them are going with it's just God testing their faith.

Can someone explain to me how people study the bible? I mean, won't you just be reading the same thing over and over again?

Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them."
