    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.

    I might be wrong but I think in the beatitudes Atheists are referred to as the "poor in spirit" - but I will have to check that because the poor in spirit might refer to something else.

    Lot of "might"s there, oh look, a "may" too. Definitive stuff.

    Colour me sceptical

    I think that's something we can all agree on :)

    I'm going to go ahead and say, no, there will be nothing significant about this date in relation to a day of reckoning for atheists or anyone that may otherwise be poor in spirit.

    I have a questions for you. Is it difficult to keep reality when you can barely grasp it?

    Monday? There will be about twenty thousand very stiff people walking around Dublin. :pac: Probably some sort of zombie rapture.

    I'd rather go to that Pagan orgy up in the wood's Monday night...

    Getting ready for Samhain...

    Just how many "days of reckoning" have to pass with utter banality before you allow the blinkers to peel back?

    I've lost count of how many end of days, raptures, miracles or whatever else has been screeched as imminent and defining evidence of "our great creator" - usually with the smug addendum "that'll show them atheists"...

    Precisely zip has ever shown up - either he exists and your god enjoys taking the piss out of you...or...ya know...

    The Hellfire club will be thick with doggers no doubt, but nothing unusual there.

    I wouldn't really be into the dogging thing.

    But the pagan orgies are more classy and elegant.

    Only went to a few but thoroughly enjoyed the experience,it's ok for open-minded single people.
    Plenty of goth like women and merlin like men lol

    I suppose according to the Christian tradition my moral's are up my arse literally lol

    We're all mother earth's children...

    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.

    Welcome to the house of fun....baggy trousers....

    If you are "poor in spirit" on a bank holiday weekend you need to go buy more drink.

    I don't mean to sound petty or anything, but do you mean debauchery? Or is dubochery some new kink I haven't heard of, I'm nervous to google in case it is...

    Just as long as you're not planning to personally bring about that day of reckoning.

    @ realitykeeper: Since there’s little sign of the West imploding cataclysmically before the end of this year, I am putting all my faith in this prediction of yours instead.

    It’s about time we got some stimulating supernatural fireworks – a long time overdue.

    ill regret asking :D but what is the significance of 17 days after an anniversary

    Nothing wrong with being kinky lol

    Just sexual inhibition amoungst consenting adults....

    I only do it when I'm single, tried experimental stuff with a partner,it didn't work.

    But it's a lot of fun if one can handle it and not think of burning in hell.....or displeasing the Abrahamic God

    Well it's 2017. So the numbers are like significant or something.

    I always love prophesies based on significant numbers in a calendar. It sounds nice but then you realise that the numbers are completely arbitrary and the calendar is one of many. Monday could also be the 65473rd day of Arthifox.

    That sounds absolutely rank. And like something I'd have happily knocked back in college before some debauchery.

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

    I reckon an economic implosion on an unprecedented scale, so the biscuits might not last long.
