Forget 2012. We now know the date on which the world will end. (Or maybe not.)

I recently read a list of about 300 predictions for the apocalypse. From a few hundred belivers to several million. Some caused riots and mass hysteria and many followers were left bankrupt, you can't take it with you after all. Makes me wonder why peple still give credence to these biblical predictions when the Bible (or it's interpreters)are so concistently wrong.

Whenever they stop getting a woody over death ... you know when science and reason take precedence over superstition in everyones life.

To be on the safe side, why not ask a Jehovah's Witness? They've only gotten it wrong at least 9 or 10 times...

your comment reminds me of a comic I saw on reddit the other day. The kid was pointing out many of the instances where God was attributed to an event that wasn't explainable at the time (lightning, earthquakes, solar eclipses, plague, death, diseases, epilepsy, the existence of the earth, the existence of species on the planet, etc.) and the kid said that Christians (cause it was about Christians in general) were wrong about all these things and it would take an idiot not to see a pattern there. And then the kid asked why would anyone listen to them still with that type of record? That applies to this as well.

I don't think the world will end, but I try to remind myself that I have the same foolishness of theirs in me, too.
Someone once said that I was(jokingly) the smartest one of all on here. :verysad: :typehappy: <-- I love this smiley.
