May 21st :O

[Kian]

There's a retired man from New York City who has spent his life savings of $140,000 on flyers, billboards, etc. to advertise for this. I see a billboard on my drive down to school. I really feel sad for him.

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Do you realize you're falsely generalizing about others falsely generalizing? Blaming others for what you should blame yourself?

Yeah, really, but what do you expect? Christians do that all the time.

 

[Cool Frog]

Yeah, really, but what do you expect? Christians do that all the time.

Two wrongs make a right?

 

[Hershey]

Wait if October 21st, 2011 is the end of the world, then what happened to December 21st, 2012?
And how about that Y2K thing that was supposed to happen in 2000?
Exactly, these theories come up all the time.

 

[Stefan]

Just another of the many judgement days

How many times have they predicted the end of the world?

the people out there have 'predicted' lots of doomsdays

these theories come up all the time.

Yeah, yeah, we got it the first time! No need to annoyingly repeat this over and over again as if it's something smart that nobody ever noticed before.

erm?


anyway, although its a terrible thing to say, I would not be all that surprised if May 22nd I hear about these guys committing suicide

 

[Escher]

MY INTERPRETATION MAKES IT THE 22ND OMG

 

[PatrickJameson]

Personally, I think every end-of-world "prediction" is FAKE.

Ehh, I think this one is a pretty good prediction.

 

[Hershey]

erm?

OMG lol sry. fix'd

 

[wontolla]

Darn, I think my new cube won't make it on time.

 

[Chapuunka]

Yeah, really, but what do you expect? Christians do that all the time.

And so do Atheists, and Agnostics, and just about any other group of people.

I'm a christian and I'm sure that the majority of e.g. the bible is made up

That makes no sense.

 

[cookieyo145]

Ehh, I think this one is a pretty good prediction.

Lightake shipping isn't that bad is it?

 

[vcuber13]

That makes no sense.

yes it does

 

[5BLD]

Guys, we can all have our own beliefs about the bible and other religious stuff- just different views of the world and the things around us- different ways of making sense of our positions in this world at what's in it. It's okay to believe different things. And the argument about falsely generalising... well, everyone does it. Not just us atheists.
I however, personally believe that the bible is made up and God doesn't exist, but that's just my own view.
(I have a weird feeling that I'm gonna get rage comments for saying this)

 

[Vinny]

It's okay guys, as long as the apocalypse is based on religion, we'll be fine.

 

[5BLD]

It's okay guys, as long as the apocalypse is based on religion, we'll be fine.

Haha very true

 

[clincr]

That makes no sense.

Yes it does. It is argued that Genesis is just poetry; it did not take '7 days' create the world, and Adam and Eve never existed. The creation was probably nothing like as the Bible describes, even if you are a Christian.

 

[ElectricDoodie]

Wait if October 21st, 2011 is the end of the world, then what happened to December 21st, 2012?

The first date is made up of some Christian church. The second date was from Mayans, thousands of years ago.

And how about that Y2K thing that was supposed to happen in 2000?

Y2K wasn't about the end of the world. It was about technology, electricity, etc... all failing because of how they were programmed.

 

[Chapuunka]

Yes it does. It is argued that Genesis is just poetry; it did not take '7 days' create the world, and Adam and Eve never existed. The creation was probably nothing like as the Bible describes, even if you are a Christian.

That's taking it symbolically, not calling it "made up".

The Bible outlines the core of Christianity; to be a Christian you must consider what's written within it to be true, whether it be symbolically or literally. Saying that you believe some of the Bible and not other parts does not make you a Christian--many Atheists, etc. also agree with some of its ideas (such as murder being bad).

 

[Dene]

Urg, morons and their judgement day predictions!

Yeah, yeah, we got it the first time! No need to annoyingly repeat this over and over again as if it's something smart that nobody ever noticed before.
