Oh, and the world will end on May 20th 2011

I don't know if this is the same rumor or a different one, but nutcase Harold Camping, the founder of Family Radio (which actually has some decent programming), again says he has calculated the day of the Rapture, which is May 21st, 2011 (according to him). Thing is, this is at least his third or fourth such prediction. He's been asked what he'll do or say on May 22nd after it doesn't happen, but he says if you believe something, you don't entertain such thoughts.

Aside from that, I don't know if this is in the same category, but I once heard a driver telling another that when he gets a cold, he downs antibiotics. If you've kept up with the news, you're familiar with growing antibiotic resistance due to their overuse. But this guy has things mixed up; says that it's vitamins you shouldn't take. But he sounds very sure of himself, can't tell him otherwise.

You are correct, it's May 21st 2011,

A bit off topic but I was waiting at an airport pick up location with a driver from another company last week.
Within 2 minutes he asked me if I was a Christian, I guess so as not to offend me with his diatribe on Muslims that he quickly went in to.
My phone did the secret ring shortly thereafter.

My answer to claims like this is that if no one but the Father knows the time and date, not even the Son, then logically we must conclude that as soon as any person or group claims a specific date we can rule out that date because that "sure knowledge" is ruled out by the Scriptural statement that no one knows. By definition, one cannot know that which is unknowable.

I think all of my seminary professors would have agreed with this analysis as well.

Hope your seminary professors told you that Christ returned in 70AD. Since He did.

I can personally attest that putting the Airtabs on backwards does nothing good for the fuel mileage....
[And no, I didn't put them on - it was a "we don't need no stinkin directions" kind of guy who did that. Surprise, surprise.] :rolleyes:

Another dysfunctional family. No communication between Father and Son.

That depends on their religious beliefs. Christian seminary professors teach about the Holy Trinity and therefor would totally disagree with your analysis. Even to the point of calling it blasphemous.

Yaeh, but when the tail wind is faster than your speed? Mount them on a swiverl.

I think I saw that guy, was it on his T/T?
