No, they’re both crappy liars. I’d do better to just tell them to tell the police the truth as they know it and trust God to sort it out. Not that I believe in God, but they do.
You may have heard someone say that a black man would be come President only when pigs grew wings and started to fly? Well, how about that! Obama’s been in office for 100 days and swine flu!
The other day, my coworker said that the flu is “…God’s will–he will cure it if that is his plan.”
But then, this morning, he said that “It could be a terrorist attack…just like 24!”
I’m eagerly awaiting the next theory.
There’s an old joke about that- they don’t win the Olympic medals because the ones who can run farthest, jump highest and swim fastest are already in the US…

[jesus tin hat]Don’t you know? It’s a conspiracy by the Obama* administration. Yes, yes, it is. A cunning plan, yes. You see, know he can appoint Kathleen Sebelius** as his health secretary, she will of course cause the death of millions of fetuses. Then, of course, he will step up the war in Iraq, yes yes, step it up until it draws in all nations, and the armies of the world converge upon Armageddon. While this is happening, you see, the chem-trails, the vapor behind the planes, you know, they will finally take effect, and make the worlds crops fail. And, of course swine flu will spread, yes, yes, it will. Do you see now, do you? Yes, yes it is the ennd of days, it is! sOme day, sooon the SEVENTH SEAL will opEN, and the deVOut shall shall be BrOUghT to HIs kIngdom. Heh, heh, yes. [/jesus tin hat]

I was on the subway today and some woman got on the train wearing latex gloves and a surgical mask to protect herself from the germs. Then two stops later some people she knew got on the train so she took off her face mask so she could talk to them. I haven’t heard anyone talking about this being a sign of the end of the world or anything, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Stupid + paranoia = :smack:
I don’t get it. I mean, swine flu=Pestilence and recession=Famine, sure, but how does supporting abortion rights=War? Why wouldn’t it be Death? Death even rides a pale horse, which would go very nicely with Obama’s skin tone, IMO.
C’mon people. Get your crazy straightened out before you go spreading it.
The point of his email was that he is sure Death will be the last Horseman to arrive and that I must get myself and Kim right with God before then.
And yes, he sees Kim’s salvation as my responsibility. Though she’s already a regular church-goer, she can only be saved if I am, because the man is the head of the woman. Apparently her salvation no longer applied once she got married.
Yet another argument for living in sin.

Poor Chris Rock lost 1/2 his stand up routine.
Where do you people find friends and family that dumb in real life?
The frignteningly religious consider everything to be a sign of the apocalypse; Y2K, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, President Obama being elected. If you fart in an elevator some wingnut will think the end is nigh.
If I fart in an elevator the end IS nigh.
I wish. If the Trilateral Commission really did team up with the Illuminati and the Reverse Vampires to bioengineer this virus and wipe out humanity as we know it, they failed miserably. It’s treatable with Tamiflu, fer chrissakes. And most of the deaths have been shown to mainly be the result of crappy Mexican healthcare.
The joke I remember hearing growing up went something like:
Q: Why doesn’t Mexico win more medals at the Olympics?
A: 'Cuz anybody who can run, jump, or swim is already here [in the U.S.].
And I’m with Black Sunshine on not getting some of the Four Horsemen connections the crazies are making. Talk about a stretch.
Skald, remind your brother that before the advent of the four horsemen, the antichrist will surface and preform miracles. Then ask him if he thinks anything in Obama’s first 100 days counts as miraculous. Put that way, he’ll stop worrying.
That’s awesome. The president who actually starts wars isn’t War, Obama is. I’m almost jealous of being able to think this way.
Skald, aren’t you African-American? The only reason I ask is that I think it would mean that your family would be somewhat atypical in the black community in their suspicion and opposition to a President who is, by every empirical measure, about the most popular President among black Americans since Lincoln freed the slaves.
Does your family encounter any tension in the African-American community over this, or do they represent a subcultural pocket of anti-Obama blacks that I haven’t been aware of?
