Others are tearing their hair and clothes. Children being torn from their parents' breasts!!! It's horrib.... wait a minute, they're taking me. All I see is a blinding, beautiful light and I'm floating up and my clothes are falling away and I see something far in the distance. It's Jesus, wait a minute, someone is sitting next to him, it's Gautama Buddha!! And there's Laozi and Moses and Mohammed!!! And there are virgins everywhere! And harps and angels. This is way cool guys. See ya around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otis Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Is there a lesson for us, in here somewhere? I hope so. The followers of the good Reverend claimed that they could see the impending rapture, because they had some "special vantage point" from which they were able to view the true workings of the universe. Of course, they turned out to be a bunch of loonies, who talked themselves into believing they were on the inside track to truth. How different is it when a Taoist or Buddhist claims some special vantage point, from which they can see the true workings of the universe? Are these Xtians to be ridiculed, but our own self-proclaimed enlightened Bums are seen as authorities? Edited May 21, 2011 by Otis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nanashi Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Are these Xtians to be ridiculed, but our own self-proclaimed enlightened Bums are seen as authorities? Yes. Kidding; good point. Willful ignorance is a problem, though. There was a family with a 2 year old daughter and another kid on the way who sold all their possessions because of this fiasco.

Otis Posted May 21, 2011 Yes. Kidding; good point. Willful ignorance is a problem, though. What do you mean, in this context, by "willful ignorance"? I mean, I was willfully ignorant about the reasoning behind the May 21st end date, even though it could have been the most important thing to know. I saw it as silly, and so didn't bother, but that was certainly "willful ignorance". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buddha addressed this - look at everything he said and his followers said as critically as possible. If it doesn't stand up to scrutiny, throw it out!

And a lot more "Christian!" That is, less intolerance, less gay-bashing, less judgmental. These moron fundamentalists are anathema to everything true Christian doctrine teaches (love, acceptance, tolerance, being non-judgemental). Perhaps the Rapture is a win-win: these losers get to leave earth for a better place and we get to live without their insecurity, intolerance, and hatred, allowing us to live in a better place.

ralis Posted May 22, 2011 What a fantastic guitar! He even tried to get a little psychedelic on us. Hehehe. (He does so much better with the Blues format.) Pain & sorrow? Well, sure, I have pain. Yey!, I am an old man. But no sorrow. I ain't got time in my life for that. I'm listening the The Kinks today. "Superman" just finished playing. He is amazing and yes, his blues style is second to none. Kick ass stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
