Doobie, why is it that you think all relicious people are mentally Ill?

I happen to be religious, but I don't let that effect my common sense.

Thanx for the info, but I'm very familiar with the salem witch trials. Early american history (pre-revolution) used to be one of my favorite subjects as a matter of fact. But again, thanx for the reminder Med.

After reading some of your posts, Dank. I could tell you're a pretty sensible person. But go on a Christian chatroom, and converse with some of those people, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I'm kind of in a state of not knowing about the evangelicals predictions, they could be right! on the other hand this planet has probably got a couple thousand years of mankind left on it if man gets it together amd stops global warming and gets rid of nuclear arms etc. I'm kinda leaning towards the Armegeddon scenario as I've watched Mankind for 60+ years and haven't been impressed with their peace making abilities. Seems like they use every weapon they've invented, and it takes only one Idiot to start the end! Gw Bush or Aminimijad or whatever the fuck his name is or our friend in N. Korea or the islamists in Pakistan, or the Indians, Hell it only takes one mistake and kaboom were all dust, so the armegeddon scenario sounds more probable. I don't think I'll buy any 30 year bonds!

Even if mankind did kill itself (which is definitely a possibility), it does not mean that the evangelical beliefs and the bible was right. It would be nothing more than coincidence.

I could make plenty of predictions and I guarantee you that some of them will come true, but that does not make me a psychic, or an oracle.

Of course if some of them came true and I DID claim to be a psychic, I'm certain that I'll find plenty of suckers to believe me.

Evangelicals = Suckers
