Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda: End Of The World Is Nigh (Again)

[fester30]

I don't understand why these religious types are so hung up" on the whole "End of Days" scenario.  Presumably they believe that they'll all be Raptured or whatever when it happens anyway, so what's the deal with getting all het up about it?

People want meaning in their lives.  It's why random events that occur over billions of years that lead to human beings with self awareness is not a good enough answer for how things came to be for most people on Earth.  They want to believe there is a higher meaning or purpose, therefore a higher power that created us and has some sort of plan or design on it all.  There is a tendency to believe that we're special; that grand events will happen during our lifetime.  It's all very egotistical.  Somehow the times we are living in now are more important than any other time past or future.  Humans are very self-centered.

Miranda was visited by Jesus in 1973 -- apparently the Messiah walked up to him and entered his body.

Sodomy or Oral?

Did he at least buy him dinner afterwards?

Jesus must have missed the "no means no" campaign.

I think I first saw this guy in Bill Mahr's Religulous. I can't remember for certain though, but if it is the same guy, he came off as bat-shit crazy in that. Or it's just an act to get peoples money.

One day one of these people is going to be right. Pity he/she won't be around to reap the credit.

Probably not in our lifetime. And all that would do would be to confirm the truth of the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy.

It might well be ended by a Texas sharpshooter.

Christianity is full of modern day "prophets."  Like members of Congress, they all have a record.  Look at all their "prophecies" and see how many of them have failed. You are sure to find many.  This guy has now gone out on a limb and named a date, which will be a failed prophecy.  He just needs to be held accountable for this glitch in his prophetic powers.  Most "prophets" keep their "prophecies" general and vague, so there is plenty of wiggle room.  That's hard to do when you specify a particular date. This should be the end of his "ministry," but it probably won't be. For whatever reason, people eat this stuff up.

By the way, my two week vacation begins on June 30.  I'm not canceling it.

It is odd. Harold Camping (the guy who's name escaped me) has quite the record, but there are still those who would sell all their belongings to "sound the trumpets" and whatnot.

Intriguing.

He looks like guido sarduchi from saturday night live. Remember him?... He used to say, ''believe me now, talk to me later.''
