Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

That begs the question -- would you rather know that "doomsday" is coming at some point in the imminent future (date semi-certain), or would you rather have it happen without warning (bang, it's over)?themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/17/do ... latestnews

I am satisfied with this
Kinda of like never telling your teenagers exactly when you will be coming home.
Mark 13:32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

The rabbis explain why Jacob summoned his sons twice. The first time, he was about to reveal the end of days to them, so God momentarily withdrew the gift of prophecy from him.Genesis 49:1-2 wrote:Then Jacob called for his sons and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father."

Exactly. There's a word for claiming you know what Jesus said even he didn't know, and that word is HUBRIS.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:I am satisfied with this

In the new season of Lillyhamer there is a scene of a doomsday cult failing and Torgeir and Roar's mother leaves in disgust.
In an unrelated matter Viktoria Winge as Tiril later convincingly advocates reindeer racing. There are no Rainbow Reindeer involved in the racing.
