Not to knit pick, but...

I was bashing some Christians, not all. I mentioned bible-thumpers, however, I should have been more specific. Who I'm bashing are Christians who ignore a very clear warning not to try and predict his return (Mark 13:32), but twist themselves in knots doing so anyway. Often these Christian are called backdoor Christians, because they become so due to being introduced to the last book of the Bible, Revelations, and the fear of the end times. Often these Christian, ironically, focus on the book of Revelations, and the Old Testament, while pretty much ignoring the New Testament, and the red letter passages; those believed spoken by Jesus.

It's amazing so many bible-thumpers fall for this when they can read that Jesus said no one will know when it will happen. They ignore what is clearly said on the matter, while going though elaborate machinations predicting the end times.  ;)

I suspect it's much like the Republican's raising money on so called scandals of Democrats. Just another way to make money. Or, perhaps an extreme case of self-righteousness, thinking that they will be spared, while all others perish.   ;)

I can't find the date, and I am not talking about the prediction for this last May, but I remember back in the late 80's, supposedly smart people were leaving California by the droves because supposedly Nostradamus had predicted that California was going to fall into the ocean due to a mega earthquake.

The "end of the world" has been predicted so many times it should merit no more attention than the 675th dick size thread on TER.

Christianity is based on stupidity and stupid, gullible people, but it hardly has a monopoly on either stupidity or gullibility.
