Is This The End ?

[docrob57]

Well, we figured it might at least a slight disincentive for some of these doomsday prophets to post their drivel here...

And that's another thing, as a Christian, I rather look forward to "doomsday," however, many seem to dread it.

Good for you! :jump:

Myself, I don't believe it's going to happen. :nono:

Besides, I know for sure that Jesus isn't coming back before tomorrow...

I'll bet you $1 that he is if you give me only 10,000:1 odds. That seems fair.

Er, this bet seems sort of one sided. If the atheists win, they get a pay off. But if the Christians win, then money will be utterly useless .

What, tomorrow?

I'd give you virtually any odds that he won't.

The issue is what odds would you be willing to give me that he will...

Hmmmm?????

:greedy:

Rats, I forgot about that.

Yup. And you'll be in heaven so you won't care about such mundane things.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

I'll give you infinite odds that He will return someday. Tomorrow? Nah, I'd have to pass on that.

:| how is that win win??? Going to heaven is completely unrelated to this bet.

So you don't consider gaining eternal paradise and beholding the face of your deity as winning?

You are certainly a strange Christian, bookworm. :noway:

Oddly enough I've been getting the same response for decades... and other non-beleivers have been hearing it for almost two thousand years...

:yawn:

But that is completely unrelated to this bet. if indeed i am predestined to eternal life, then it really doesn't matter this bet occurs or not.

So don't bet.

No one is forcing you to do so...

i just don't see the purpose of this bet. it is mundane.

 

[Zakath]

It's immaterial whether you see any point in it at all, bookworm.

The bet was between two other posters - they apparently saw enough of a point to make the bet worth their whiles.

i personally think that the end of the earth is coming in the year 2012.

Do you own a home?

 

[Scholastic]

Do you own a home?

i am 16.

 

[Zakath]

i am 16.

No surprise there, either...

The smily beside your name is a smily face with a glass of beer that constantly replenishes itself. No suprise there, either! :readthis:

Come back after you're old enough to legally purchase alcohol and I'll explain it to you.

Until then you're about one more post from the Ignore List. :wave2:
