And... I don't know. I even don't know if I believe in God or not. I do pray, but we simply don't know when Christ will return. Yup, He can return anyday now, and in fact Christians should live as if He was to return soon.


Here's the thing though. You believe that there is some chance that Jesus will return to earth in the near future. That must affect your decision making, doesn't it. Even religious moderation can be dangerous.

God pwnz this thread: But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only - Matt.24,36

This is why I laugh at people who spout things like the OP.

Yeah, I'm also confused as to why God is pwning the thread and not the idiots whose beliefs prompted the thread's creation.

I'm also confused as to why God is using crap internet slang. Is he an AWP fagot or something?

None of which explains why God pwnz the thread rather than the idiots who disbelieve his word.

Knowing a totally meaningless stat like what "YOUR" IQ is doesn't make one person smarter than another... I was basing it on what you post... which is a much better indicator

The only truly accurate IQ test I've ever taken is that one where they gave you a bullshit test where the questions kept repeating and they based your IQ on how many pages of the test you took before you gave up on it. I scored an 85.

(In my defense, I didn't actually fill out the last N pages of the test -- I just kept hitting "submit" to see if the questions would keep repeating. So I'm probably some kind of friggin genius or something.)

Last I heard, IQ tests aren't meant to measure common sense.

That's what all the dumbasses say...

Still, it is a source of embarrassment that a small but statistically significant minority of Americans are smarter than I am!!?

As far ast this poll goes, I doubt its accuracy. Afterall we saw how good the media did with the 2004 election. I just can't trust polls anymore.

So many interesting posts...

1st) Real Christians don't care when Christ returns. They are taught to live their lives as if every day was their last (morally speaking).

2nd) There is an apparent conversion of prophecies...their was also an apparent conversion of prophecy in the 3rd century as well. So what? We are told that neithier the day nor the hour of Christ's return is known but to God.

3rd) Even if Christians knew when Christ was returning it would not cause them to change their planning for the future. We were taught the lesson of the talents.

Perhaps one more versed than I could explain it further...

I thought that was only existentialists, because Christians are the ones who dedicate their whole lives to a hoax.
