We’ve had some fun here, enthusiastically mocking the Doomsday people.
But how many of you are big enough to admit you woke up this morning just a little disappointed that everything’s exactly the way it was yesterday? No matter how snide you were in making fun of the May 21sters, wasn’t some small part of you secretly hoping for something… interesting to happen?
Maybe you won’t cop to it on this forum. Maybe you won’t even admit it to yourself. But deep, deep down inside, you’re crushed that the world is still here, aren’t you?
I was a committed Christian for many years, and believed that, some day, Jesus Christ would return. I KNEW it would NOT happen when this yahoo (or any other yahoo) predicted it
Matthew 24 verse 36 " But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my Father only" Verse 42 “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (to mention just a few verses on the subject)
But my life right now is not even close to what I wish/need/want it to be. And I cannot figure out what I can do to make my life better. The options I do see require more energy than I can muster. My optimism about life is gone. I’m trying to get it back, but that also takes a lot of energy.
So, yeah, I’m ready to “blow this pop-stand”, “play like a tree and leave”, “play like a cow-patty and hit the trail”. I’m not going to do it on my own, but if Jesus Christ did come back right now, I wouldn’t mind at all.
I was only disappointing in lack of backlash toward the perpetrators of this hoax. It received too much play in the news. If the ground had started shaking and the sky opened up with a hydrogen flame ball, I and many people would have been on our knees or running on our knees or something. Alas, nothing happened and I miss my revenge.
Isn’t this the classic Hangman’s Paradox? When some random yahoo says the Rapture will occur on May 21st, obviously it won’t happen on that day. The next guy says it will happen on June 12th, so it can’t happen then either. Same goes for Dec. 21st 2012, April 13th 2037, and every date in between.
There’s millions of idiots who believe the Rapture will take place “within our lifetime,” which essentially rules out the next 100 years – and the next 100 years, and the next, since future fundy generations will likely believe the same stupid fantasy. Therefore, God ain’t coming back any time soon. Sorry fundys, you blew it. :rolleyes:
Now if they would all get a clue that they are nothing special, their specific brand of flavorade isn’t universal, and they need to stop trying to legislate their morality into my government we would be one step closer to the future.
Sorry religious people of the dope, religion is not universal, should not be applied universally and has no place in government at all. People are moral or they aren’t, it is something that cannot and should not be legislated.
Since my religion isn’t Christian, no, I wasn’t disappointed. I wasn’t anything, other than concerned about how credulous people can be in the face of a billboard.
