88| – Wrong again and again and again. The Neo-Cons predicted that the apocalypse would occur yesterday and yet the sun rose again this morning. Jerusalem did not go up in a mushroom crowd. Neither did Washington, DC. I know because I live in the Washington metropolitan area. Oh well, I’m certain this will not deter them from their prediction of the end of the world again next week.BTE
Good thing…I have a lot to do today and a pesky apocalypse would have really screwed things up.
I think there must be some type of religious contest between the Neo-Cons and the Jehovah Witnesses to see who can predict the end of the world. Both have failed,and continue to fail ,but their mindless followers remain just that,inspite of all the bogus rhetoric that spews forth from their leaders.
Blind religious faith is a blight to any society
Hey everyone, (new member/first post)
What really bugs me about the whole christian prophecy thing is that xtians use “filled prophecies” as evidence that they are right. Because there’s no way to fight them; when you point out that some of them haven’t all you get for a response is “Yet.”
So I thought I would show off my divine powers by making some prophecies that will be filled soon, no 2000 year wait.
All of these will happen in the next twenty years.
1. There will be a war.
2. A religous leader will die
3. A political leader will die
4. There will be a new standard media format
5. There will be a new pope
6. It will be warmer
7. There will be a new city somewhere
8. There still will be no evidence for a god.
If these don’t come true in 20 years, Then I will admit that I don’t have divine powers. However, if they do, it proves that I do…. doesn’t it..?
I have a prediction…
I predict the world will end when the sun finally “burns” off its Hydrogen fuel, expands into a red giant, and swallows the earth ? in about 4 or 5 billion years.
If I’m correct, I will be revered as a prophet. : )
*sigh*
I guess I still have to go to the dentist and get my teeth cleaned today, what with the world not ending as promised. My dentist is going to be one of the raptured people. I’d go somewhere else, but he’s a very good dentist and it’s a small town.
They never do give a money-back guarantee on those threats…er…uh, promises, do they?
DvanW
I will go ahead and revere you now.
I don’t have the patience to wait 4 or 5 billion years to test your prophecy.
But you’re such a brilliant artist, I feel you must be correct; you must be in tune with the gods.
Karen,
You’re so damn sweet. Thanks.
Being an artist yourself, you understand how such comments truly help the “fragile artist’s ego”.
DvanW
Yes, I understand. But after seeing your work, it’s hard to believe you still struggle with the ego.
I know, it’s ALWAYS a struggle. Art is SO subjective-or rather appreciation of it is.
But in my opinion, you are amazingly talented!
Just stop by my office any time your ego needs stroking.:)
Let’s use accurate terminology, neo-cons are more appropriately labeled paleo-nazis.
The world was supposed to end yesterday? Goodness. And I wouldn?t have even known why the fiery angels or whatever were flying by my window!
DVanWechel and Ryan, I think you both have plausible platforms for prophet-ship. However, DVanWechel, you made the oh-so-prophet-like decision to predict something that clearly won?t happen within anyone on this board?s lifetime. I must thus, like Karen, throw my lot in with your predictions. I did, however, find Ryan?s #7 quite appealing, especially if he?d tell me where this new city will be located so I can go buy up all the land and sell it at a hefty profit. (profits from the prophet?)
Welcome, Ryan! Where you herald from?
“Just stop by my office any time your ego needs stroking.:)”
I’ll be sure to do so.
Aviaa: “I did, however, find Ryan?s #7 quite appealing, especially if he?d tell me where this new city will be located so I can go buy up all the land and sell it at a hefty profit. “
You may be onto something there.
Ryan, please gives us the location of the new city : )
Hey! DVanWechel! It’s my land! Stay away!
Oops. Didn’t realize there was supposed to have been an apocalypse yesterday. Oh well.
What I’ve wondered is this…..don’t these fools realize that any apocalypse that happens will be MAN MADED. Their make-believe god won’t have any more to do with it than the FSM. A human being real person will drop a flipping bomb somewhere, another human being real person will bomb them in response. Pretty soon they’ll all be bombing each other, and “POOF” the world and all of us will be gone.
And the FSM will be pissed that they blew up HIS world!
On another note, yesterday was such a crappy day for me….I wouldn’t have minded some peace. My BF, best friend, SO..or whatever is the acceptable title these days…was diagnosed with advanced cancer on Monday. We are struggling right now. He’s in an Adventist Hospital, and I just want to beat the shit out of every person whose “praying” for us. I DON’T WANT PRAYER – I want positive thinking. I WANT A NON-RELIGIOUS HOSPITAL. I berated one nurse because she told us God will take care of things. I’m sorry, but I’m entitled to go batshit sometimes, and this was one of those times. I want them to come in to the room and SMILE!!!, regardless of the news. But mostly, I just want him to be better, and that may not happen.
It’s positive thinking that has been proven to work, right? I may need reminding……..
sorry to go off on that…….
hey bones, sorry to hear about your best friend. I’ll send positive thinking your way for sure. Cancer is tough.
Bones — Shambhala Sun has a “Spotlight” section on “How To Meditate.” Nothing magic happens — meditation helps a person sit (or walk) in bad times as well as good. You can do it on a chair next to a hospital bed. I wish you peace, happiness, strength and confidence.

I’m very sorry to hear about your BF’s condition. By advanced cancer, do you mean that it’s inoperable and treatment won’t help? Is he a believer? How’d he end up in an Adventist hospital? That’s GOT to grate on the nerves, especially if he doesn’t partake of the beliefs.
Of course I will join in the positive thought train, which I’m sure can’t hurt. It’s the positive action that has the most benefit though. Get your BF the hell out of that hospital if all they’re gonna do for him is say gawd will take care of things!
Bones,
So sorry to hear of your BF’s cancer. I empathize with you as I recently heard similar news about my mother. We’re not sure of the extent yet – but I understand a little of what you are going through.
Bones,
I’m so sorry to hear of your BF?s cancer and the difficulties at the hospital. I’m sure it helps him to have you around, acting as an advocate for him. Take care of yourself too as you?re taking care of him, okay?
(aviia, I ‘herald’ from Ypsilanti, MI)
For those of you who asked where this new city is to be formed, I regret to tell you that the land is not up for sale anyway, so there’s really no point to knowing where it’s going to be. I will make one more prophecy to make up for this
9. There will be a new “Extreme” flavor of chips in the next 20 years
I didnt know the Neo-Cons predicted an apocalypse. After reading the link I wondered what the author meant by “a proclamation trumpeted by Neo-Cons far and wide”. Perhaps it means 2 people, one in San Diego and the other in New York? That would be “far and wide”, wont it?
Are we still here?
I just found out that war criminal mass murderer Richard Armitage met with Tom Cruise and other scientologists. Maybe the combination of criminal scientologists and nazi Armitage saved the world.
Bones, you live in Colorado, right? I can think of only 2 adventist hospitals, Avista, and Littleton. Both are owned by centura health, which is owned by catholic health initiatives. My understanding of that company’s policies is that if you are bothered by religious statements by staff, you have the right to ask that it be stopped. Speak to the head nurse for your floor. I hope the situation improves for you, and if you need anyone local to speak with, feel free to e-mail me at my nickname at c o m c a s t.net without the spaces (stupid system won’t let me put my actual e-mail address on here.)
sorry to hear about your bf.bones keep us up to date.
Actually, I thought they were touting yesterday as the BEGINNING of the apox. Except that no one asked them exactly what’s going to happen to let them know it’s started… Well, except they were inferring it was becuase Iran said they’re not giving up their uranium enrichment program. But we all knew that anyway, so I guess it had already begun? so they’re wrong anyway, right? (I mean outside of them always being wrong anyway–buts that’s just do to their stupidity and them being a dickhead.)
Did I miss something? Apocalypse Yesterday?
This site is as bad as the Democratic Underground and 100MonkeysTyping. You guys are more concerned with an apocalypse than the religious folks are.

Comment from Slowsky:
It sounds like you’re the ignorant one in this case. Why not take an ESL class or get your GED?
Hey guys, sorry that I joined and then left in the space of about two weeks. I joined the Atheism vs Christianity google group so that’s were I’ve been. If you don’t know who I am I had that little debate with sirboxer on topics such as Hitler’s beliefs. How is he these days?
On topic:
I’m not at all suprised by the apocalypse not coming today. If there was a God he would want to catch us off-gaurd.
I think he’s slowsky.
