Are you aware that:
1) The Bible says we CAN’T predict the end of the world,
2) The people who try are wackos,
3) This fail has NOTHING to do with Christianity?
Everyone jumps at the chance to insult us, regardless of context. It’s getting kind of old.
ah ah, Alice, careful with the “everyone” … I’m a serious student of religiosity, and pretty much a Buddhist … but it’s quite clear to me that at the healthy heart of humanity, there is a sober appreciation of the miracle of creation. And that same heart is the foundation of truly sane religiousness.
Some people have that, beautifully and profoundly — Christian, Buddhist, agnostic, or whatever — and some don’t.
Religion in general, but I haven’t really noticed one religion get singled out quite the way Christianity does. Perhaps I haven’t been paying close enough attention.
That would probably be because Christianity is so well-represented in numbers on the internet.
Personally, I am frightened by ALL religious fervor. Maybe that’s because I didn’t meet anyone religious before the age of around 15 (Denmark is pretty much an atheist country).
One doesn’t have to be religious, of course, to manifest destructive fervor — atheistic Stalinism, Pol Pot’s killing fields, Ruwandan genocide — the list goes on.
It’s not just religious institutions per se. It is people who do horrid things, founded in prejudicial ideas that they twist into hatefulness.
They say the bible warn them that if they don’t read the bible carefully then god will descend upon them like a thief in the night. But you have to read the bible to know that but if you read the bible you can know it so it won’t come to you like a thief in the night.
Buddhism doesn’t require faith, but it does require some form of meditation (as I understand it, anyway). If you meditate, but not very consistently, and if you think that what Buddhism offers in the way of an explanation of how the world works is plausible, but you don’t necessarily believe it outright, I could see where you could call yourself “more or less a Buddhist”.
Besides, the majority of Christians I have met are really “more or less” Christians. People are great at rationalizing their way into whatever behavior they choose. For instance, how many people do you meet who consistently “turn the other cheek”?
I think the Romans were the first to figure out that if you label yourself Christian and adopt the symbols and the ceremonies and trappings of Christianity you can pretty much continue to do most of what you were doing before you were “Christian”.
And the same is true of most religions…people will do whatever they really want to do, but label themselves Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, whatever. Most of us are “more or less”.
Ha ha, Al Gore and his bunch have been prophecy-ing the end of the world for 20 years now in another Great Flood. The polar bears and Hawaii are still there, and the Global Warming (TM) Catastrophe is as illusory as ever.
At least this clown doesn’t want to take all my money and make me drive a ffnng Power Wheels car from Toys R Us.
Babel Fish heard the polar bears prophycy-ing (what?) the end of Al Gore and his bunch (why are they so specific about his anatomy, I don’t understand)
*snerk* I just saw a suggestion that folks looking to mess with the minds of others leave some old shoes filled with dry ice in random public places. I only hope that they then video what happens after.
In Australia it is 6:02 pm on the day its supposed to end. The guy who said the world was gonna end said when it reaches 6 pm in each country the world will end and it hasn’t … oh wait a minute im shaking oh no… wait woops sorry the legs on my chair were unstable.
End of the world is nigh
The Devil’s fork cast.
Wait a minute there… I thought that great Blondie song was released like some 30 years ago?
toe to toe, dancing very slow…
Hod me, hold me close fuzz.LOL
You don’t know what your asking.
YEAH! You’ll find yourself stuck between a great rock and a hod place…
LOL…in the end, you’ll be hod-broken.
Which brings us back to this great fail picture…
891 degrees! That’s hod as hell!
That reminds me of a Russell Peters routine. The specific joke I’m thinking of starts at 3:55, but I strongly recommend watching the whole routine.
C-C-C-Combo Breaker
Lol! Hod ogs are great!
first!!!!
ooo … that’s kinda hot !
Thank you!
891°…seemed a little warmer than average for Atlanta…
they don’t call it Hotlanta for nothin’ !
The real fail here is Christianity and its determination in predicting SOMETHING.
Are you aware that:
1) The Bible says we CAN’T predict the end of the world,
2) The people who try are wackos,
3) This fail has NOTHING to do with Christianity?

She has a point, though… Maybe not everyone, but on the internet, it’s ALWAYS about Christianity.
That’s because it’s safer than bashing any other religion.
Akshully, Islam gets slammed pretty often here, too, and religion more or less in general.

Religion is such a recursive world.
How can you be “pretty much a Buddhist” ?
Either you are one, or you are not…
Maybe it’s a koan…

End of sermon.
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
you’d better have some spare urine, just in case.
Lol, I didn’t even read his name until I saw your comment.
All my coworkers are devout Christians, and we’re all making fun about this wacko prediction. Chill out and enjoy the lulz.

That’s hot
THIS IS WHY I’M HOT! THIS IS WHY I’M HOT! *Stupid Mims*
They made a mistake while typing in the weather information. They probably meant 89 or 89.1. Either way, 891 seems like a mistake.
I agree, Captain Obvious — I think somebody was being caption oblivious.
Ha! Funny!
If hot then i will melt
I am so looking forward to see what happens tomorrow. I think I will refer to the upcoming event as the Crapture.
lol … I’ll give it my crap’d attention.
*snerk* I just saw a suggestion that folks looking to mess with the minds of others leave some old shoes filled with dry ice in random public places. I only hope that they then video what happens after.
*SNORK*
Bwaahahahahahahahahaha!
Ehh not to much different from this desert here. Seems nice
Aww Brad got it wrong again
Dang even in Rankine that’s hot. 891 will boil the water I need for my Kool Aid.
Yall some fools if you really thought today is the last day of the world. Lol for shame!
I DON GIT THIS 1 O WEL LOL
I think your name is the problem.
Im guessing 8 and 1 are the correct numbers they ment to type. Do I win?

Good thing I’ve got air conditioning.

You people have obviously never been to Arizona…

What does it matter…
In fact …
Why does the sun go on shining

Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
‘Cause you don’t love me any more
