Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Wednesday that 2008 will be a year of violence worldwide and a recession in the United States, followed by a major stock-market crash by 2010…
That took a lot of insight.
Robertson also noted that one especially horrible prediction he made last year — that a terrorist act, possibly involving a nuclear weapon, would result in a mass killing in the United States — did not come to pass.
“All I can think is that somehow the people of God prayed and God in his mercy spared us,” Robertson said.
Funny how people think of the bible as a well laid out planned book which is not. The bible is simply a collection of documents that the church thought would be nice all stapled together. What about the volumes of documents that never got included in the bible? Take it to court!
Cheers

The bible is a story book where everyone can pick the pieces they wish to follow. It’s funny how fundamentalist Christians don’t follow the rules of stoning people for this and that.
#28, sparks,
… I am tired of these people claiming that GOD speaks directly to them …
Ya, me too. Just a little while ago I was taking a crap and god spoke to me. Actually, she yelled through the door for me to hurry up as she needed to take a whiz.

Yeah, that God you better believe in or you’ll sleep on the sofa… 😉
#33, MC, #34, Jäg, I certainly do dislike it when god is always right, it just squeezes my Wheaties.
And thus god spoke and verily she said, “Goest thou now and repair thy plumbing lest ye feel my wrath.”
So it was written, BubbaRay, knowing nothing of the ancient mysteries of copper tubing, summoned the angel “plumber” and was able to enjoy the football game while avoiding the wrath of god.
Moral: sometimes an angry god is just gonna cost ya’ some bucks. Pray in one hand and puke in the other then see which one fills up the fastest.
#35 – BubbaRay – …summoned the angel “plumber”…
That bought you some time before God got the holy scripture from MC at the end of month and realized that you didn’t do the magic yourself. 😉
#35, Hallelujah brother, Hallelujah !!! I feel ya brother, I feel your pain.
Let the light shine at the end of the tube. May the blessed waters spring forth (or fifth, whatever you drink) after you have connected all the fittings. May that drop of water on the floor fall from the brow sweat of the Archangel Plumber. And may the Archangel Plumber have underwear that covers the whole hole of her butt.
Amen.

You remind me of the the disciple Thomas who had been with Jesus during his earthly ministry and witnessed many miracles, healings, and casting out of demons but said he would not believe Jesus had risen “Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.” John 20:25. After eight days Thomas saw Jesus and he said, “My Lord and my God.” John 20:28. “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” John 20:28.
I guess you don’t believe in electricity either because you can’t see it but how long can you hold onto a paper clip after you insert it into an outlet? And I suppose you don’t believe in air either since you can’t see it but what do you think helps keep your heart beating?
“The fool has said in his heart there is no God”. . .Psalms 14:1.
“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.” I Corinthians 3:19,20.
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep [died]. After that, he was seen of James then of all the apostles. I Corinthians 15:3-7.
Not one person at this time in history successfully refuted these claims.
And speaking of the sufferings of the faithful, Paul wrote, “And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, and tormented: Hebrews 11:36,37.
They suffered so because of their faith in God and because of their salvation through his Son Jesus Christ.
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is one other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13
#38, I love the way you Christians quote the Bible to unbelievers as if it has any credibility. When Psalms calls unbelievers foolish, are we supposed to fall on our knees, instantly recognizing the error of our ways? And when people are lauded in the book of John for their ability to believe that for which they have no evidence (an absolute requirement for religion), does that strike you as a bit self-serving? Sheesh!
#36, Jägermeister,
And BubbaRay, being a devout believer in “leavest thou no written evidence” after witnessing firsthand the Lord’s many holy CSI scriptures, didst remunerate the Angel Plumber with the holy currency, upon which is written “In God We Trust”. Thus didst BubbaRay avoid the wrath of God and enjoy the holy waters until such time as God deems it necessary for mortal intervention once again.
And from the myriad of cupric tubes did the holy waters pour forth, delighting God who deemed BubbaRay worthy of such a ‘sacrifice’.
Thus was BubbaRay spared the humility of sleeping with the small animals in the Inn of Sofas.
