Apparently the world should have ended this week.
The world was due to be engulfed in the flames of God’s wrath on Wednesday. People told us what they were doing on their last day on Earth and what they were having for their last meal.
The overriding sentiment was that at least we were going to be alive to find out who won the Great British Bake Off.
Chris McCann, leader of the eBible fellowship and apparent all-round God expert, believed the world will be engulfed and destroyed by a great fire on October 7.
Um… It’s now Friday evening and we are still waiting.
That’s what I love about these fruitcake doomsday cults. They are always wrong.
“According to what the Bible is presenting, it does appear that October 7 will be the day that God has spoken of,” he explains.
It must be true, then…
He continues: “God destroyed the first Earth with water, by a flood, in the days of Noah. And he says he’ll not do that again, not by water. But he does say in 2nd Peter 3 that he’ll destroy it by fire.”
If you are going to believe a bunch of myths and legends put together by primitive desert nomads, I guess being wrong all the time is the least of your problems…
I have lived through many more end of the worlds than I’ve had birthdays.
I’m 65
LR; Have you got your Apocalypse Gift card yet? Survive nine, get the tenth free?
Well, they will be right, one way or another, in the next 5 billion years, or so … what will you say, then, huh?
Not a lot. I’ll be stardust by then.
Growing up in a Jehovah’s Witness household I was exposed to the doomsday bollocks all the time. The JWs have made a few predictions in the past about the ‘Great Tribulation’. And yet we still endure……
I’ve wrote about this nonsense some time ago. For amusement and edification:

Oh dear! It’s Friday night and – err – I still seem to be here. Same old chair. Same old (beloved!) computer. Same old me.
Hello? Hello? Is there anybody out there? Hello?
Oh dammit! That’s the fifth apocalypse that I’ve missed in my lifetime!! Note to self: Take more notice of those four passing horsemen in future …
…turn your radio on…
Wots a radio?
Oddly I missed this one until it had already gone past. Harold Camping gave his doomsday prediction a lot more publicity. With Camping quite a few atheist groups held end of the world parties in order to take the piss.
I think that I am right in saying that the Seventh Day Adventists are the group that formed from what was left of the Millerites after Miller’s umpteenth failed prediction. The fact that he had any followers left at all is a sad comment on the human condition.

Be careful, Mr Stonyground, otherwise they be calling you,’Two comments Stonyground.’ Sometimes two comments are better than one, but only if the contents are dissimilar.
I’ve no idea why that happened, I only posted it once. Perhaps if our host would be kind enough to delete one of them I will look less of an idiot.
But then Mr Saxon will look like an idiot… 😛
Thankyou you sir for protecting my integrity. In a world of idiots one less is always welcome.
