Just.... Wow. A forum where the slogan is "deny ignorance" (which annoys the hell out of me the way people have it in their avatars or sigs or posts
or whatever, develop your own mind, thinking for yourself is good for you) and here we have yet another thread on all this jesus antichrist satan
crap. Science: Tricks and False Signs. Awesome.
I usually avoid subjects on religion because they make me absolutely livid, but when someone is so bold as to claim that they have solved everything
to do with a subject "once and for all" with a youtube video (which I suspected before opening and to my slight horror I was correct about) I can't
stay quiet.
How anyone can take seriously a book that essentially is a compilation of other, far older stories is so far beyond me, I sometimes wish I needed a
crutch just so I could understand where all of this wholly devoted to a fairy tale stuff comes from. Especially with the translations, use of slang
that no one knows the true meaning of anymore and selective editing. I mean, really?
Anyway, what difference does it make who the "antichrist" is? Say I'm totally wrong and all of this glorified Disney movie religion stuff is true.
Still, who cares? There is no need. Yes, this Scooby Doo character has something to do with the "end times". But guess what? People have been
predicting the end since jesus of place-that-didn't-yet-exist "died on a cross". For OUR sins, no less. Funny how he dies for our sins yet if we
look at a woman on TV and think about how attractive she is we still go to hell, no?
Have an affect on your daily life? Not as long as you don't obsess over it. And what happens if any of these predictions of this alleged antichrist
are true? You won't know until it's too late, so the best you can do is say "told you so" to the few remaining people, if you're even still
around to do so. But I can see how sitting around trying to decipher another imaginary being with numerical values and youtube is a worthwhile
existence.
One more thing: Why are people so fanatical when chances are truly stacked against them by their own beliefs? I mean really, what are the odds that
you will not be one of the roughly 2.1 billion people of your exact beliefs "left behind"?
