Read the Book of Revelation.

Been there, done that.
Many of us respect your right and freedom to view the Scriptures any way you choose, but.

How about those of us who do not take the Bible literally?
Are you going to "jihad" our butts?

These guys in Iran think they represent the combined ambition of muslims worldwide. They talk with a twinkle in their eye about the ascension of the Mahdi Army. It's a source of pride that transcends borders.

I remember a guy who used to post here around 9-11 who had the script and verse about how the Mahdi (anti-christ?) would make himself known in a throng somewhere in Iraq/Iran after a glorious event. The guy on the white horse or whatever. The black flag. Remember? At the time we were thinking Bin Laden. The guy on the white horse or whatever.

I am concerned. Who was the fellow who used to post so many great points on ths topic? Of course we've been false alarmed before. Remember the double eclipse? But this is very different. Iran's guy has made the pronouncement.

If you get a ping list together with Howlin, please put me on it.
I'd hate to miss it because I forgot.

And shhhhhh, please don't be too loud about this. Being that it's summer, I have a really hard time getting my kids to stay on task with HS.
I can just hear it now, "BUT Mommy, the world is coming to an end today and besides I hate math>"

LOL!

[GreenAccord]

I have money on the Buckeyes to win the NC in JANUARY

AMEN TO THAT!

[Deo volente]

"Christians of the jihadist persuasion"

Present and reporting for duty!

[DustyMoment]

Will there be fireworks?

[BunnySlippers]

I know, but I have nothing to wear.

Put it on your credit card!

This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and, if necessary, of the world."

If one would read God's Word, they would know how laughable this is. We KNOW the prophesy of Israel!!

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

Crap, I have a vacation in Asia on the 24th!

[Red Badger]

Great. I didn't want to go to the Sunday School teachers' meeting, anyway, or the Parish Festival committee on the 23rd.

I guess I'll have to pick up my dry cleaning early...........

[fivecatsandadog]

Sorry, I can't go. I have to stay home and scoop my cat's litter box.

So, if I have a car payment due on the 20th, do you think it would be okay if I spent that money on golf, say on the 4 day weekend I may or may not be taking on the 18th thru the 21st?

I was wondering something similar - my car insurance installment comes due the 22nd, would it be okay to just have a little fun with that cash instead?

[dfwgator]

Sorry Cubs fans.

Here's the August Undead Thread. Hey, it's about Islam (cue the spooky end of the world music!).

Coloring books. And toilet paper.

And some cans of SPAM. It's dual use: you can eat it and/or use it as Islamist repellent.

[Red Badger]

Just ask him if you can "borrow" it (the 'Vette) on the 21st............

When the world ends you wear whatever you have on, except you remove your pants. You didn't know that?
