I remember one such guy on a forum I used to post on some years ago, admittedly his posts were quite amusing.

You never know this forum might be favoured with 'Jesus' popping in to say 'Hi', nothing would surprise me anymore. If he does NM can ask him about his 'accurate science'.  ;D

I find this interesting and not a little sad. Not a subject for a piss take.

So you like pointing and laughing? Do these people exist for your entertainment?

Ok, so I can see why, but it's still not actually amusing. Fascinating, yes, because if these people aren't psychotic and aren't con men then what is going on? And sad because they - and even more so their followers - are so detached from reality. And sad because none of these stories can end well.

This would be a bloody stupid place to post for anyone who cares what others think.

But there are people at whom we should point and laugh (anal hair bleachers for example) and others who are far more complex. Laughing at them just reveals an inability to be fascinated.

The second coming scenario is not credible, whether it involves that guy Jesus who died 2000 years ago or imposters, imo..

My reasoning makes it more than credible...but you are all in denial. You even deny what millions have already told you that ufos are constantly passing through our air-space who must have and have proven to your highest scientists and governmental authorities that their sciences far overwhelms ours. They have even established a fascinating way of communication through crop circles, which, if nothing else, tells many innocent bystanders...they, the ufo people, or at least many of them, are here to be helpful, through this very distressing period, where the planet is being overwhelmed by other, secret, and distressing tribulations recorded in the Holy Bible leading up to that last trumpet...I apologise for wanting to spare you from the full force of Wormwood, and other associated Biblically based tribulations...Try Revelation 21:8.

My intention is not to oppose the idea of the second coming but to oppose Floos continual and merely asserted claim that anything outside an arseclenching atheism is not credible.

Stop winking at me, it's creepy.

Don't people fascinate you? After seeing these pictures I'd like to meet someone the people involved, maybe on meeting them I would have to laugh, but maybe not. I don't get pointing and laughing without understanding though.

Your 'reasoning'?

Perhaps I should have said...My Biblical Reasoning...Floo...and here it is again, in a nutshell...The universe...the bouncy, fluffy, atomic bits, anyway, are all made from a wonderful, dynamic energy, or, spiritual energy, or, God's fountain of living waters, or God's Mighty Power...Not even scientists can deny this and one of your favourites, Albert Einstein, seemed to agree that 'everything is energy'...but here is the crux...Almighty God told us many years before Einstein, and he also told us through Jesus Christ, who told us how to bring this wonderful knowledge into harmony within our own, daily  lives. This is the 'word' made flesh...so don't burn your bridges just yet.

Sorry NM but in my opinion your reasoning on this topic is no better than those who think they are Jesus on his second coming.

That isn't really the insult you intended Floo. Remember...Jesus followed his father and so became like his father, so, to follow Jesus is to become like Jesus...that is the Biblical teaching. In fact...if 2 or 3 gather in Jesus' name then Jesus and righteousness stands up close and personal with you as well...according to Jesus, anyway.

Wormwood is coming and by reading the signs with Walter, included, then all the peaceful, harmonious, God fearing, in fact, those who call upon Jesus Christ's name will be harvested from all the distress that surrounds them, whilst those causing the distress will be gathered together as the waste from that harvest and spiritually be unceremoniously dumped into the furnace, represented by the fiery lake of sulphur and mentioned in Revelation 21:8.

I am trying to save you, but even if I fail, it might be counted as me being considered amongst the first fruits.

All Christians should be telling you this but few are so look out for those that do...they are your best friends.

I would tend to doubt that the feeling is mutual.

Having sympathy for those who inhabit the so-called "lunatic fringe" - whether actually, medically, psychologically, classifiable as "lunatic" is showing innate humanity not being too soft.

I am grateful that there is a "soft" Rhiannon to counter the "harsh and unfeeling" Walter's of this world.

why did you put harsh and unfeeling in quotes ? didn't you have the guts to say it yourself? pathetic!

I was quoting when I said "Soft" - quoting you, dear Walter - and I put "harsh and unfeeling" so as to make it cklear how I judge your comments.

As to my being pathetic, I would far rather be pathetic and have some concern for my fellow humans, especially those inflicted with some, in fact any, degree of mental illness, than someone, like you, who dismisses them as something laughable.

I cannot describe you as pathetic that would be praising you above your station and attitudes.

I have a dream of you in your dotage but to post it here will get me instantly modded and banned.
