    How would you define mentally ill, some people think I'm mad because I love dubochery and am a self confessed commitmentphobe...

    I think people who settle down for the sake of conformity are mentally ill...
    In a way they're indoctrinated in some sense or other....

    We're all mad one way or another.

    I'm going to take a punt on nothing will happen.
    Fancy a bet OP?

    You've been talking about this economic implosion for quite a while now on Boards. If you keep talking about it until the next crash, whenever that may be, you'll be proved right.

    I think he could be right. Trump is going to start a nuclear war to distract people from whoever gets arrested on/by Monday. I'm only half joking.

    There have been days of reckoning and great raptures but even if they are predicted, the prediction date is almost never correct.

    "almost" :D

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    I clearly missed them altogether. I'm totes disappointed. Have you evidence of this? Like, proper evidence...that doesn't require a lovely tin-foil balaclava?

    If there have been these before... Why weren't all the atheists already wiped out? Why don't the child abusers and murderers ever get targeted? If your god has the power to wave a "hand" and collect souls, why is not more done to help the innocents? It's all very confusing and dare I say it...unbelievable.

    I think you are wrong. The beatitudes refers to the state of those who would come to God and be saved.

    Only those who consider themselves impoverished of spirit (whether they label it so or not) will come to God. Those who consider themselves a.o.k don't consider themselves to have a need for God. And so they don't come and so theirs isn't the kingdom of God.


    The atheists are right in this regard: God is a crutch. The issue is whether all are objectively in need of a crutch or not.

    Are you the guy who has been "predicting" a massive economic crash of the worlds banks/economies for the last few years or am i thinking of someone else?

    Monday 30th October, 2017 comes 17 days after the centenary of miracle of Fatima. It may be a day of reckoning. Our Lady recommended the recital of the Holy Rosary every day.

    Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

    “‘He will command his angels concerning you,
    and they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
    7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’


    Bit against the teachings of your religion to boast and brag about bad things coming to atheists at the hand of your God tomorrow. Do not put the Lord your God to the test.

    And that's leaving aside all the previous "tomorrows" at which point those nasty atheists were definitely going to be punished. Have you considered that maybe the Rapture did actually happen on one of the many occasions it's been predicted (often in September for some reason) and you were one of those left behind with all us bad atheists?

    It's for the love of the group, just look at it like a group hug....
    We're Pagan, mostly single horny group of attractive looking people who are inspired by sharing the love....

    Think of it like, let's offer each other a sign of peace.... peace be with you and also with you...

    But ours is more loving that a flimsy handshake with a neighbor you despise.....

    The voices in my head say that Monday October 30 will NOT prove historically significant :p

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    October 30th continues. Kevin Spacey has come out as gay, following allegations of a sexual assault 30 years ago. How much more terrible news will this day bring?

    I'm in France, so an hour ahead. If anything happens I will try to give you a heads up, assuming, of course, I am not so badly affected by the non-event that I can't type.

    Hang in there brethern (and whatever the female equivalent of brethren is).

    Actually folks, there may be something going on... We have run out of butter and Weetabix, which means there is effectively nothing for me to have for breakfast. Sh1t. This might be it.

    OP, I think you may have posted in the wrong forum. This is the Atheisism & Agnosticism forum. If there's an Accounting & Auditing forum you might be better posting there. Every day is a day of reckoning for accountants & auditors.

    Maybe the rapture happened while we slept and we are currently in hell?

    Conditions are quite mild, not what I was expecting/hoping for.
