Ah. It may depend on what type of device you're viewing this on but above the OP in this thread is a bolded heading: "460 days until 2,300 days - Daniel 8:14", and it was posted on 25th Sept.

I don't actually know how you insert such a heading into a post. It doesn't get included if you quote the post and I suspect it wouldn't even show up if you were viewing the thread on, say, Tapatalk.

EG doesn't strike me as being someone who can take a hint.

This forum is a target rich environment of what they describe as filth, so I'm willing to bet that they won't be able to restrain themselves from spreading the good news about what type of slow bake is in store for us sinners.
 
I'm always curious - and have been asking this for a few decades now, When someone predicts the Biblical end of the world, what time zone are we talking about?

If it is supposed to end on July 19th 2018, is this midnight? When the 18th becomes the 19th? Then there's a cascading of doom around the planet?

And we should pay close attention to New Zealand, then, shouldn't we?

Kiribati would be first then. I would think most of the Biblical writers thought the day transition happened at sun down, right? So sundown in Kiribati is when it all goes down.

The big guy don't need no stinkin' time zones.

I've said my piece. The posters in this thread are now free to ignore me as usual and continue insulting and disparaging religion and religious people like they always do, the religious people will eventually go away, and the atheists can pat themselves on the back because they've chased away another potential conversation. Victory!

I agree with you, which apparently puts me in the minority. I'm for civil discussion, all the time, with all people. I do reserve the right to exclude someone that has to wear a face mask to prevent them biting people.

Yes you thread nannyed a bunch of people who were called "filth" that they were not being nice enough. Good job.

Let's be better than that.

You're welcome to engage him in a nice friendly conversation about how he plans to eliminate filth like us.

Say as you will. I do not think that the basic idea is without merit, but I believe it is misplaced here. I have great respect for many people with whose religion I do not agree, and I also believe that people who dismiss all religious ideas with rants about sky daddies and fairy tales are behaving badly. But this is not that. The notion that every crazy idea deserves respect leaves fools in charge of the discourse.

Which is a notion that I did not advance.

When religious people debate facts, they get decent respectful answers. When they seagull declarations of our well-deserved doom on us, and describe us as filth, then.........


........sorry, what were you saying again?

Do you really think civil or reasonable discussion can be had with someone whose opening gambit is to want you dead and rejoices in that prospect?

You always have the option to not engage.

Responding to insults with insults is never productive. If someone insults you, be better than them.
 
There you go folks we have heard it from arth. When they come out swinging you just turn the other cheek, (think I heard that said by some other dude), and come back all smarmy.:)

I gather we have to be better, Which apparently now involves little more than sitting quietly while you patiently wait for the churchgoer to kindly stop hitting you over the head with a brass crucifix.

I have seen confrontational posters before who suddenly thought that they could start playing the "be nice" card. They usually revert to form sooner or later.
 
I see no-one has any interest in being a reasonable or pleasant human being, so I'll leave you to your fun.

Notice, by the way, that you've successfully managed to bully the religious person away. Good job.
