Teddy,
I don't think ALL applies here.
Just like others that take their religion to the extreme, Christians extremist are the exception,, not the norm.
Now,, there are those that hate all religions (the other extreme), but fortunately they are also a minority..

You've got a point JJ,but I've heard more jokes about how foolish and in some cases how stupid Christians are for believing in this guy........... It would be funny if only it wasn't so sad......... I've heard interviews with people who are taking this very seriosly,several even plan to take their life because they don't believe they are saved.............

Then they don't truely understand what the Atonement or Salvation is, even by Christian standards.
Has God ever asked you or I, and anyone we know to die for Him?
God never asked His Son to die, it was volunteered by His Son to lay down His life for us in order for the debt to be paid.
All that is required is for us to live, and live enriched lives.

For those on PS.com, who believe or do not beleive in God, or Spirit, but believe in something entirely different, the lesson here is Ideology. And for all on PS.com, I consider all of you family, though I don't agree will all, I do respect your opinion, and as an American will defend your opinion, agreed or not.
For a comedy zone thread, it has just turned philosophical.
What is sad, or to some funny, is the fact the world might be a little better with a few less nut jobs running about. What is not funny, and will remain sad is this will never stop, nor will the TV Evangelical, Jim Jones types, (for those young ones, look up the 70's), seduce the weak mind that salvation comes from dates, self esteemed false prophets, or hip-hop celebreties spouting opinions as to coke, speed, hookers, booze and self destruction, (which I find to be extremely hilarious),...
but that's just me.

Well said Wet Dog.
Some of those who base their salvation on the words of man are bound to be mislead. Go to the source, read, and study for yourself. Some Christians are just another kind of sheeple.
That said ---
Who's up for game of Rapture on Saturday morning? We'll take our old clothes and shoes, sneak out early and place them randomly on the sidewalks.

Is that 1800 hours, Eastern, Pacific, or Zulu (....which in actuality would be Omega) ????

I thought plastic covers were standard issue equipment around here. You didn't get yours when you signed up?
Maybe it was Raptured.

I like the way you think.....  As a guy that would use a gun in a Texas heartbeat I'd never overlook the chainsaw as a satisfying alternative.......

sdiver -
I thought you were wanting to set the DVR as to the accruate time, so it no longer flashes "12:00".
TS -
Pulp Fiction, (the movie), had a scene when "Butch", after self recue and before leaving the Army/Navy surplus store has a moment of clarity when he realized he could not leave a man behind, whether he liked him or not. He first picks up a hammer, then a chain saw, and finally selects a Samuria Tanto Sword.
Fitting.

Heck, I set the DVR so I don't miss the main event. I've done it with eclipses and even tried it with earthquakes. They don't seem to be able to get the timing right on the 'quakes, though.

Ohhhh ..... I figured that out a loooooong time ago.
A piece of black electrical tape over that flashing clock does the trick.
Out of sight, out of mind .......
