We may truly be experiencing the end times.

Will there be a mighty wind?

CMC fnord!

Is that what you young people are calling it nowadays? Gibbering?

Huh.

Nope - they’re idiots.

You’re thinking of galumphing with a hard f. :slight_smile:

The Bubonic Plague and Spanish Flu seem like much more resounding indications than heavy snow and an earthquake… and the world managed to survive those.

What’s white and oozes from the heavens?

The Second Coming of Jesus.

Here’s what I always want to ask people who say that we may be in the “End Times”: ever heard of World War II? You know, death and destruction and suffering in every corner of the globe for several years, capped off with detonation of the most destructive weapon then known to man (twice)? If you think now is the End Times, what the hell would you have thought then? And you would have been wrong then, so why the hell do you think you are right now?

I’m holding the position that the end is not nigh.

If it doesn’t happen I shall continue to gloat.
If it DOES happen, well, enjoy your hollow little victory.

Because I have a brain and I use it. There are two basic facts here:

  1. Religion is a lie from start to finish, nothing more than a massive con game.

  2. The sun is a star. At the end of its life cycle, it will expand and engulf the Earth. We’ll probably have died off long before then, but that event will absolutely be the end of game whistle.

In that case, remember Matthew 19:24: “And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

Best that you send me your money, for, as said in 1 Timothy 6:10 “… the love of money is the root of all evil”.
(however, you may want to keep Matthew 4:6 in mind, as it demonstrates that the devil can quote scripture :D)

It’s the Final Countdown…

If he came back tomorrow and went on tour I’d buy a ticket. Bet the dude has some interesting things to say.

Based on this thread you should also buy this shirt.

And where do they get those snorg girls? Rawr indeed.

Um, Friar Ted, the modern state of Israel has existed for more than 50 years. Globalization in some form has existed since the time of the ancient Greeks. They, too, might have considered the phenomenon “the globalization of everything.”

You’ll have to do better than that.

It’s when the Temple gets restored that you have to really watch out. According to most of the endtimes scenarios that I’m familar with, Jesus can’t come back until the Temple is restored. As long as that mosque is up there on that hill, everyboy’s safe.

Keep in mind that they are still working on breeding a flawless red heifer, and forcing the second coming.

The popularity of the Twilight series…

Wow. I had no idea someone was actually doing that. Hmm…

Just in case anyone gets offended on the behalf of all Christians over this, let me just say that I know a few people who have explicitly stated that they think recycling, conservation, judicious use of non-renewables, etc are all pointless (or worse, are evil distractions), because we’re living in the end times.

If you get an Ichtys wrapped in a page from the Book of Revelation you’re taking a dirt nap pretty soon.

Recycling is evil because we should be sequestering carbon to keep it out of the atmosphere. Laziness drives global climate change, lets harness laziness to fight it! :slight_smile:
