Quote# 37086

I had an experience this past July that really woke me up I was talking to a friend about world events being like endtime prophecy from the Bible. Well my friend went on vacation to Bullhead City and on to Malibu when he got back he said"those people out there are not living like it's the end times they are building houses like crazy and livin' it up". Well the lightbulb came on in my head and I said "that's what Jesus said it would be like just before he returned."Matthew 24:36-39 My friends reply was "I been hearing that my whole life and it aint happend yet" well that's when the sirens went off in my head; 2nd Peter 3:3-4 I told him that's just what the Bible said people would say .Now he just thinks I'm crazy, anyway that's one of the reasons I joined this board !

Please Jimmy! Consider, just for a brief moment, just once, your friend may be right.

Oh my Gawd! People building houses, living it up, and just in general going on as if everything's normal???? No! Say it isn't true! That's just got to be a sign of the endtimes.

So, because people are ignoring the impending apocalypse, that means it must be coming?

Cyborgtroy - that is it, exactly. Also, the proof that there is an invisible cat following you around, is that you can't see it.

Your "signs of the end times" consist basically of "no sign that anything is likely to happen". Can you see the obvious flaw yet? That's right, every moment of the millenia since that shit was written qualifies as a sign of the impending doom; and even if that doom were millions of years off, every second leading up to them would count as an indication that it could be mere seconds away. That way lies paranoid insanity.

You can't take the total absence of any indicator as an indicator; rationalism, and real life, do not work that way.

Even if the world was about to end then you're going to really want to live it up, because you'd only have a little bit of time.

Rapture Airlines now welcomes the Proselytes with reservations for rows seventeen through twenty-five. Leave clothing, intelligence, and all material possessions in the terminal lobby.

There you have it. The less evidence for the rapture, the more convinced these people get that it's coming.

I read this and couldn't help but think of those boards that anorexic and bulimics go to talk and reinforce their delusion that they're fat and need to lose weight.
RR is like that for the end-times delusional.

You joined RR to be with others of your own kind. Crazy is as crazy does.

"I been hearing that my whole life and it aint happend yet"

Therefore it's going to happen now.

"Now he just thinks I'm crazy,"

I wonder why.

"that's one of the reasons I joined this board "

Good choice, this is one of the main crazy person boards.

For the better part of 2 millenia people have seen signs of the "endtimes" all around them and yet it never seems to happen. Just consider that maybe living our lives to the best of our ability, is exactly what we are supposed to do. Maybe "living it up" is the very best thing we all can do with the life we have.

Well Jimmy, I'd say you found your true home. I look forward to more of your insanity.

Following your stupid logic, the end of the times should have been coming since 2000 BC.

Talk about a self-fulfilling prophesy. If something bad happens, it's a sign that the end-times are near. If nothing happens, that's a sign, too. What would Jimmy see as a sign that the end-times aren't coming yet?

In the immortal words of Michael McDonald, "what a fool believes, he sees".
