What is a solution for EMP? An antique oil burner with a spare alternator.
We already agree that our calendar is wrong, starting late by anywhere from 2 to 16 years, depending on who's doing the reckoning, and further in error because of the absence of a year zero.
The more fundamental point is that God did not intend us to mark His years by the birth of Jesus.
If He had intended this we would have a Biblical fixing of the date.
Further, the day of Jesus' birth is unremarkable as all men are born.
However, very few return from the dead, that event is remarkable, and it is the defining moment of Christianity, the very moment of proof that his sacrifice was not in vain. And the Bible gives a precise reference for when this happened!
Clearly this was the date the calendar was supposed to start!
For extra points, this makes our calendar off by anywhere from 18 to 31 years. That makes this something like Holy Year 1990 to Holy Year 1977, giving us anywhere from 10 to 23 years to get our affairs in order before the real end of the millennium...
Could be. Has been possible since 1956.
Vladimir "Black Bart" Renoir laughs at this guys name.
I guess if he keeps predicting the “end” one of those times he will be correct.
Crap! I haven’t even got my IRS “rebate” check yet! Well, at least I can stop “worrying” about “global warming” or “climate change” or whatever they are calling it this week.
Isn’t that Carbon Belch Day?

Them Texans sure do everything in a big way!
I have to fly to DC on the 15th, maybe it won't be there!
What a way to go. :-D
On a road through a desert in Arizona, a preacher named Nathaniel Evans walked every day, preaching to the many people who roared past in their cars.
“Repent, the End of the World is Nigh!” was his constant theme.
One day, as he was walking, he came to a big lever in the middle of nowhere, just by the side of the road. ‘Pull this to end the world’ said the sign on it.
Now Nathaniel saw this as the perfect spot for him to preach, and soon many automobiles were parked nearby, the people all swayed by his powerful elocution.
All was well, until there were so many people, and so many cars, that the road was nearly blocked. Then a big 18-wheel rig came down the highway, and couldn’t stop in time. The driver had a choice: run over Nathaniel, or run over the Lever.
As the driver explained to the Highway Patrol later, he actually had no choice. Pointing to the red smear on the road that used to be Nathaniel Evans, he said “Better Nate than Lever.”
Ouch. Slow day..
I sure hope he is just teasing us.
I am going to the the latest M Night Shyamalan movie on Friday.
It would be a bummer if the world ends before that!
