Title: Crackpot Armageddon Championship
Post by: BCEmporium on May 20, 2011, 04:12:45 PM
Well... looks like some folks are betting tomorrow to be the "Judgment Day". It's an old team in this crackpot championship, with its last prediction to be 6th September 1994. Ahhhh! They missed! But here they're again.
Will they aim to challenge the uncontested champion of this crackpot championship, the Jehovah Witnesses (which counts already with 5+ Armageddon announcements - with a perfect score: 100% fails)?  ;D

If the rapture does occur tomorrow according to a nuanced prophecy in the Bible, then the Bible is probably more literal than people take it to be. Only one strict fundamentalist or so will be lifted up and the rest of us are going to hell.

Yay!

That's cool, so we could hang around with other folks in Hell and that fundamentalist will spent eternity in pure loneliness... Heaven must be a really boring place!

You know... I tend to agree with Cathars, there's no hell, because we're already on it.

With an outstanding score of 100% prediction FAILS, meet Harold «the Armageddon Crackpot» Camping.  ;D
Still 5 or 6 fails behind Jehovah Witnesses, but looking good.

Atlas,

Sorry if it ruined your plans to become a fundamentalist.

Maybe this one would be a good motto to change that saying in dollar bills, clearly God ain't to be trusted. Poor Harold trusted him and ended up mocked (once more).

You can't blame God for the folly of man.  Harold is a fool, and I'm developing a plan to get filthy rich off of him and his cronies when he comes up with his next Rapture prediction.  Perhaps reducing these simpletons to a life of poverty will help them learn some things about life.

Actually you can't blame God of anything. It's God's most funny feature.
"God" operates like a company with 2 managers:

If everything went well you thank God
If it doesn't you blame the Devil

And this system is so freaking perfect that sometimes when one thing is good for one but bad for another, that one will thank God and the other will blame Devil...

But still, yep, why blame (or thank) "God" when himself is an invention of man?
