Sometimes I think I'm really not, but either way I had decided years ago to live my life to glorify God to the best of my ability and I will always continue to try for that and not to be ready for any specific date or time. The current "end is precisely now!" people are more than likely to be disillusioned once their counter-scriptural cult leader is proven wrong by nothing happening. However, for as much as I know this is a humor thread, being ready always is what is called for and not being ready for some randomly contrived arbitrary deadline. I really wish charlatans would stop making arbitrary deadlines, or hold themselves to the Levitical standard for false prophets.

Please take him please! :lol:

Leave me alone.

"Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me....That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave."

General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's reply when asked how he could remain calm in battle.

That's a very good quote!

@ Vigilans

Notice he changed his avatar after my admission to how sexy I found it and [I think Laz] someone noticing the bondage inferences of mine :lol:

For the record mine is actually an old piece of IWW artwork, your proverbial 'workers of the world struggling against bondage' however I really appreciated the joke, we Kiwi's are a brusque and uncouth bunch after all :oops:

Well, let's hope the rapture comes tomorrow, as we can finally get rid of all the damn fundies once and for all!

I posted this in N&CE.

**************************

I don't think it's going to happen today where I'm at. This was left at my front door this morning. Even Jehovah's Witnesses don't think so by scheduling these meetings next month.

But wait, Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christians? :shrug:

I don't really care. I'm just glad Vigilans will be left behind to keep me company.

So... Greece is God's schlong, and Medo-Persia is his man-titties? :lol:
I guess that explains all of the man-loving/bromance in classic Greek antiquity :wink:

I believe the rapture is supposed to happen at 6p.m. Here on the West Cost, we've still got about three and a half hours before the big event. I've asked my wife to tell me, in case I miss it. :lol:
