The end of the world
April 12, 2011 at 8:43 pm
Some of you have heard by now that May 21/11 will be the end of times. I can't believe any Christian
could be so foolish. Harold Camping made this prediction and other predictions that have never come true. what will he say to those fools that believe in him? Maybe something like "God came to me at night and decided to give sinful man another chance" Is it any wonder that Christianity is dying? For those of you that believe we only have 6 weeks left.

I'll be emailing family radio on the 22/5/11.
Quote:"I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. 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."

Whats really awesome is that there are SOOO many predictions for the end of the world that some day, somewhere, someone will actually be the one to get it right and what makes it so awesome is that even on that day - NO ONE will give a shit about who was the first person to know that date.

I'm expecting several of these 'end times' people to kill themselves on May 22nd when they realize the foundations of their beliefs are wrong. Hopefully someone will get them the help they need before hand. These cults are so dangerous.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it will all come to a crashing end in Dec 2012. Smile

Every year or so some asshole makes up a date for THE END OF THE WORLD and nothing happens. Angry
I do not think it is necessary to believe that the same God who has given us our senses, reason, and intelligence wished us to abandon their use, giving us by some other means the information that we could gain through them

Wouldn't it be great if these nutters stopped bothering about predictions when they are wrong then (too)? Smile

Waitasecond... if they stop doing stupid shit: WHAT WILL WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT?! Panic

I think that just leaves porn Thinking
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word

Why not?

Dr Francis Collins I think he is that DNA guy and a Christian. he was in Bill Maher's film Religulous. I am sure he does not take 5/21/11 seriously but he does believe in God. here is a scientist that is a Christian.
He has to have some brains right?

Yeah, that's not going to happen either.
