It got copied and summarized and retold so many times over the next few days that it is part of the myth set now. It was included in countless Sunday sermons over the weekend. A great many people BELIEVE it really happened, despite the illogical aspects of the story. I was discussing some of the obvious flaws in the story at lunch yesterday with a friend whose mother owned all they guy's books and some fellow diners gave me the death glare and left the restaurant. I was kind scared as they passed closer to our table than need be, glaring all the while.goprairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532311590000341237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-13006605032842240572009-03-17T22:15:00.000-04:002009-03-17T22:15:00.000-04:001.

But you guys salivate over these kind of stories, yes he's one of us, but every time one of these guys comes out with these silly predictions, there are 20 more of us rolling our eyes. <BR/><BR/>I remember in 7th grade at Sacred Heart school sitting in Sr. Christine's class and pooping my pants because she told us that by the time we would have our drivers license we'd all be on the metric system. That was 33 years ago and probably the last time I took any prediction serious. If it wasn't for 2 liters of soda I wouldn't know what any metric measurement was.<BR/><BR/>You want a prediction, O.K. red alert the Louisville Cardinals will win the NCAA tournament this year.<BR/><BR/>Peace out, feenofeenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483769284197614547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-44886002148283437442009-03-17T04:18:00.000-04:002009-03-17T04:18:00.000-04:00heh heh. if you read around about this, you will ...heh heh. if you read around about this, you will find them saying we should put great faith in this prediction and stockpile emergency supplies to last 30 days. why? on 31st day, god will provide? and they say we should pay attention to this man because on 9/10, god told him to make sandwiches and in a great act of faith, he and his congregation made sandwiches and then 9/11 happened so they had sandwiches for emergency workers. they are all agoo about this miracle. yet no one remembers it or remembers participating or remembers hearing about it at the time - seems like great big urban legend! and if god DID know and only tell him to make sandwiches and not, oh maybe, tell airline employees names of people not to let on airplanes, their god is pretty petty and ineffectual and they should want to HIDE the sandwich story, not prclaim it a miracle. they are all so silly!goprairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532311590000341237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-30845443257338509252009-03-17T04:02:00.000-04:002009-03-17T04:02:00.000-04:00'Under God's wrath'?This alleged god is powerless ...'Under God's wrath'?<BR/><BR/>This alleged god is powerless against me.<BR/><BR/>The non-existent have no power. <BR/><BR/>Even the Bible recognises this when it claims that the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike.<BR/><BR/>This alleged god is not going to single out people as being under his wrath.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure John Loftus does not worry himself one little bit about being on God's hit-list.Steven Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983601793874190779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-53178434782181457752009-03-17T03:15:00.000-04:002009-03-17T03:15:00.000-04:00Sounds like someone accidentally saw Watchmen.Sounds like someone accidentally saw Watchmen.MHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700875611169531647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-28791058237539389272009-03-17T00:36:00.000-04:002009-03-17T00:36:00.000-04:00I think he meant "metroplex."I think he meant "metroplex."New Family Bureauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14111234717220005143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-55424387638449182912009-03-17T00:32:00.000-04:002009-03-17T00:32:00.000-04:00That's not to say all doomsday prophecies are wron...That's not to say all doomsday prophecies are wrong. <BR/><BR/>Someday the world WILL end.

Wishing your own country to blow up (which he isn't doing here per se, but I've heard some conservatives say they do) is Anti-American.

Plus there are large riots in major cities all the time, just look at Greece and France recently. He should have added that there will be conflicts in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa just so that he could cover all the bases.<BR/><BR/>And the "I do not know when these things will come to pass" sentence at the end is just precious.
