It doesn't create them, it just gives them an outlet.

Without religion we'd still have all the psychotic nutjobs, they would just be of the alt met / metaphysics variety (you know, like all those guys in the 90s writing books about how cold fusion is easy, or Unified Force theory & whatnot).

:lol: Good point Rigel.

Anyway, I'm not too worried. It's unfortunately highly unlikely. And IIRC, the guy who started this already predicted it once in the past...

As usual, a lot of people will feel vaguely silly, and not much else. :lol:

Of course you can

Did anyone check on Lord Foul. I'm trying to find a clue in his post as to where it is coming from but I can't get a handle on it.

And Catfairy - that is one of the most ridiculous generalisations I have come across on the Watch or anywhere else. I refuse to believe that anyone with the good sense to be on this site could be simple enough in their thinking to believe such a statement to be true - therefor I can only conclude that you must be trolling!

I think he was just free associating his death on or before doomsday.

I really didn't take it to that extent. A lot of people have anger at religion that gets expressed with huge vehemence. I was angry like that as a teen until I developed some depth and understanding about religion and peoples relationship to it. It's just young stuff. I'm sure he/she meant no harm or disrespect.

In a self-published book, "The Doomsday Code," Fitzpatrick says the Bible offers "proof that cannot be dismissed."
I am kinda sad about the Bible verses that this guy apparently didn't read- like the numerous ones which are specifically about making EOW predictions! :lol:

Well, for me, this thread is a bit of a silver lining to this latest of human predictions. Y'all pretty much crack me up! (And I appreciate ppls' defense of "really, we can't blame all people's messed-up idiosyncrasies on religion.")

Ah, this just sucks. IRS Hounded me for a supposed $2000+ mistake on my 2008 Fed Tax Return, even cleaned $1100.00 out of my Checking account, rather than arranging payments for me. After they cleaned out my checking account, I was finally able to work out payments.

$200 a month (They take about $50 interest every month and $100 non-payment fee [isn't that what interest is for?], so little goes to the principal). Well, I just sent in my last payment, and now Judgement Day has to come along before I can even enjoy getting that $200 a month back in my pocket? This is so NOT RIGHT :-x

I hope so Lorin - it was quite weird and not a little unsettling to a sensitive soul like me (hem hem :D ), but then I suppose being Lord Foul it would be!

And Catfairy - yes, Lorin is quite right. We all have a right to our views without a dork like me railing us out for having them. Please accept my humble appologies.
