[Chizzang]

"Chris McCann, founder of the Christian group eBible Fellowship, says the world is going to end on October 7, 2015. He confidently claims that the Earth will be completely “annihilated.”

You can't say I didn't warn you guys.... (Thank me later when we meet up in Hell)

If you’d like to follow along while the world ends on Wednesday, you can listen to the eBible Fellowship’s audio webcast. Curiously, they still have a schedule up for October 8th and the days following that.

What gets me about this sort of thing is that the Jesus character in the Bible explicitly says that nobody knows when the end will come (see https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+13" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). Yet people continue to do this. I just don't get it.

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Jesus told ME when the world will end. HE gave me permission to tell the true believers. To become a true believer, you must sell all your worldly possessions, give me the proceeds, and offer your sons of legal age for marriage into my sacred flock.

"I just don't get it" you say...
Like there's all these logical reasonable things to "get"
with the exception of this one thing...



Christianity is a compilation of absurdities
held together by the thinnest of intangible threads
which is our egocentric and deeply held desire for a cosmic parental figure / santa clause

Good call StOnge. First thing that crossed my mind.

I love how people who don't understand the Bible constantly use this as proof. Proof they don't know the Bible.

As a. bible believing Christian, I hate this kind of garbage. This gives a black eye to legit Christian belief and allows the skeptics to have a field day.

True, but the positive is it makes those that bring it up in any serious fashion, look like this guy.

I wouldn't worry too much about the eBible Fellowship giving Christians a bad reputation...
They're pretty harmless

BTW:
Is God punishing South Carolina..?
He must be lookin' to weed out the evil down there

Why such a long thread over the modern day internet version of some dude on the street with a sign that says "repent - the end is near"

is this particular nut somehow special

Um... eBible Fellowship claims to have 17 million global subscribers



That is a big street corner

So this particular nut is special because he has 17 million subscribers

Potential outcomes:

All 17 million subscribers rethink their belief system when the world doesn't end

All 17 million subscribers commit suicide out of disappointment when the world doesn't end

All 17 million subscribers seek out Chris McCann and string him up by his balls and take their money back when the world doesn't end

I'm not seeing the problems here

[ASUG8]

Nice knowing you guys.

[kalm]

Hey, didn't hit the link, super busy right now. Did he give a time? Need to plan the day accordingly.

[ASUG8]

The guy will be correct for a lot of people.

Live a good life. When it all ends. It's over. I'm cool with it. I've done some really shitty things in my life, but I like to hope I've done more good things. I just pray that will make a difference for what ever comes next.

[Ibanez]

So...I shouldn't have come into work today? Damnit.

I'm rooting for ya, Andy!

My internet bill is due tomorrow, and I'd rather not pay it.

Then again, I have a 3 day weekend coming up.

C'mon Jebus! Take me home!

I just paid bills this weekend. If I had known today was the end, I would've blown it all on booze, broads and pizza.

If only I had known!

I haven't worked for the last year and a half because I knew this day was coming.
Just ordered a pizza as I await the end. Loaded with sausage and pepperoni.
Just sent in a big check to the D1B Fan Club. I know he won't get it in time but I feel good about sending it anyway.
Also have been ordering porn all day on my TV. That shit is wild on a 65" screen as compared to my laptop.

That and you don't have to clean it up when done!

This is some bullshit.

If I wake up tomorrow, I'm going to be pissed.
