Religious persons can be really nutty.
I think its already happened and we're all in hell. I can't imagine any of these religious nuts getting to heaven
I wish the damn Rapture would hurry up! Think of the peace & quiet, and Sanity, after they all disappear!
Listening to christian radio today, the preacher went on and on about what signs are happening and how this meant it was the end time. He made it sound like earth was in the throes of unmitigated disasters and how covid19 was God's sign that we must be right with the Lord because he will be sweeping in accompanied by the choirs of angels.....on and on he went. I wish I had recorded his talk.
So sad that these religious humans don't want to see how cruel and sadistic is their God.
Was that the clown from Tennessee?
@BirdMan1 I live in Southern Ohio but it might have been a preacher from somewhere else. True fact. Last year I was driving in West Virginia and there was a local small church preacher, hard core appalachian accent and all, talking about how the Jews killed Jesus. I have a Jewish friend on facebook and messaged him about how shocked I was to hear this being said right on the radio. He told me it is more common than you think. Sigh.......I listen to christian radio just to try to practice the speech patterns....the elongated vooooooweeelllls. lol. Then I talk to my dog that way. She is not impressed....lol.
Is it really any wonder why these God-botherers NEVER seem to win the Lotteries, I mean they can't even predict when the world will end so how are they going to 'predict' the winning numbers.
I predict that somewhere around 5-6 billion years from now that the Sun will have used up all of its hydrogen, start collapsing inwards and begin burning up the helium then will expand outwards to engulf Mercury, Venus and, possibly, the Earth as well.
But I sincerely doubt that any of us will be around to see it happen.
I doubt that the Sun uses hydrogen, so I also doubt the related events you predict.
A century ago, soon after the discovery of nuclear fusion, the astronomer Arthur Eddington hypothesized what no one could have tested. It still has not been tested, although NASA has sent instruments toward the sun.
I’m sure your nephew is a very perceptive youngster, but he knows only what he has read or been told.
Note: The SAFIRE Project study has yet to be publicly announced.
@yvilletom Sorry but I'm have NO desire what-so-ever to be tutored into becoming a rank idiot.
Were I interested in further education and learning, which I am ALREADY undertaking btw, I'd defintely stick with those who know such as the Recognised and Accredited Universities that I already study via.
@yvilletom The Sun survives by burning hydrogen atoms into helium atoms in its core. In fact, it burns through 600 million tons of hydrogen every second. And as the Sun's core becomes saturated with this helium, it shrinks, causing nuclear fusion reactions to speed up - which means that the Sun spits out more energy.
@yamaha45701 I suppose the next thing he'll try to tell us is that Earth is Falt, the Sun orbits around the Earth and the Earth is at the very centre of the Universe.
@Triphid I teach horticulture for in a community college and I try to do a basic outline of what is happening to the sun and how it produces light (plus and good old gamma rays, UV, ultraviolet, visible light, etc.) and relate that to plant growth. While I may not be 100% right all the time, I use a variety of established scientific information in putting my lectures together. I hope he reads the same material I am reading and perhaps it will make sense to him. Learning is fun.
@yamaha45701 Exactly and Knowledge IS no burden to carry either.
@yamaha45701 Being the proud owner of a brown thumb, I don’t tamper with growing plants. I understand your not tampering with graduate school physics and math.
Food for thought: the opening paragraph in Neil Tyson’s book Cosmology for People in a Hurry:
In the beginning, nearly fourteen billion years ago, all the space and all the matter and all the energy of the known universe was contained in a volume less than one-trillionth the size of the period that ends this sentence.
Do you believe Tyson?
@BirdMan1 It seems to me my friend that @yvilleton may have changed 'targets' so to speak and now you're in his erroneous 'firing line.'
Jeez Louise, I hope this joker does NOT have a Gun License because, imo, the ONLY safe place be around him when he is shooting would be to stand right in front of the gun.
It just takes one hit or even a near hit on the wheel of life for these halfwits to feel vindicated in their delusion. Eventually there will be a solar eclipse (predictable) or a meteor strike or some other natural disaster that will drive them over the edge into an apocalyptic ecstasy.
I sincerely doubt that any of them could even hit a barn door with a bazooka even if they standing right up against it.
Sure, and the world was supposed to end in the year 1,000, after "A thousand years of Christ's reign."
Then there was Oct. 22, 1844, when, OOPs! Reverend Miller, of upstate NY, had to recalculate, twice. How about May 11, 2015? that's the day the Tennessee radio pastor who claimed to have checked, and re-checked his calculations, was certain the end was upon us. Some fool, who had gifted the guy $1 1/2, million was in times Square, NYC, with a reporter, at noon that day "knowing" that although it was midnight in Australia, May 16th, and nothing cataclysmic had yet happened, it was only a matter of a bit of time.
You can't fix stupid!
Or, maybe it was May 21st, 2011. The demons made me forget.
And I doubt that IF any of these 'End of Times' Predictors have ever read the N.T. where it states clearly that this Jesus character ACTUALLY predicted that he WOULD return from Heaven in the Life-time of the Apostles.
Funny that, either Jesus' watch is running very very slow or the Apostles have discovered the Fountain of Eternal Youth....LOL.
@BirdMan1 You can find it in the 'Gospel' of Bartholemew but you need to get hold of the Goat-herders Guide to the Galaxy (bible) as it was written BEFORE the K.J. version was printed.
There is one of the orginal copies that I know of, and have read from cover to cover btw, available through the University Loan Scheme that operates here in Australia.
"The LORD says the world will end,,,,,,Yesterday,,,,,??"
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.... Amazing how many people keep listening to these idiots no matter how many times they are wrong..
Love when they always use the phrase "God clearly tells us . . . (insert their own secret desires here)"
That gets me all warm and fuzzy for my teens(not really). My mother, a literal undiagnosed bipolar(...she would finally be diagnosed in her fifties) and evangelical BELIEVER, was confident the Lord had revealed to her that the rapture would happen sometime in 1982. When that failed to happen, she talked about new revelations that "clarified it was actually to be 1986. When that failed to happen, she conveniently forgot she had ever claimed such a thing and denied it until her death in 2004. Mom had a close friend just as delusional as herself, and they egged each other on into believing they were end time prophets alluded to in the Book of Revelations. Yes, devout religiosity is sometime hard to distinguish from mental illness. Sometimes they go hand in hand, Amen.
Well 1982 was nearly the end of the world. My brother was born lmmfao
Nothing like making a mountain of an dead sunken red ant hill, that was actually a black ant nest!!!
I predicted these predictions would fail.
N o kudos there, - far too easy
It's just God testing their faith.by making them look foolish over and over and over...
To quote (sorta) from the worst Star Trek of all time - "why does God (Or here Satan) need a star ship (spacecraft)?"
On the other hand, Trump is about as far away from Jesus as I can think of in terms of world leaders, so,... we do have the Anti-Christ on the scene....
Too bad all the Evangelicals are excited about him for the wrong reasons, then.
I had an evangelical tell me, secretly, during Obama, "I don't think Obama is the anti Christ, but I think he will usher him in." Hmm.
@Beowulfsfriend Obama did usher in the Antichrist. He is called Donald Trump.
On the serious end of this my religious friend claims Trump is not the Antichrist but Trump is ushering him in. Is it any wonder we are so screwed up as a nation? Look at all the crap we believe.
