As the year progresses, more and more christians are frothing at the mouth about their imaginary friend coming “soon”. Caroline, who has been noted before on this blog is ever so sure:
“The end is near. Jesus is coming back soon; I just know it. If you’ve been putting off faith in God because you figured you had plenty of time to repent, I’d suggest getting on your knees right now.
I’m not by nature an alarmist, and I don’t have any inside information so take my prediction with a grain of salt. It just seems like we’re getting too far off the rails to avoid jumping the tracks completely and colliding with the reality of a God who has had enough.”
Yep, as always, the caveat, but oooh, surely it’ll be “soon”.
The term “soon” doesn’t mean just anything the false prophet wants. Merriam Webster has “before long : without delay soon after sunrise 2: in a speedy way as soon as possible”
So it isn’t months from now, or years from now. At best, soon could be construed to perhaps a month from now. If I’m going on vacation to Hawaii “soon”, that doesn’t mean it’ll be three months from now.
Youtube is infested with these claims of “soon”, though of course, the christians can’t agree if it’s the “rapture” or any of the other variants of their end times nonsense.
And “soon”, they’ll all be changing their claims, insisting that they “misread” the “signs”, that their god conveniently gave humanity another chance, etc. The same set of nonsense they’ve used for the last 2000+ years.

I think the general minded person cannot imagine how bad things can really get. If they think this is bad, just wait til the power goes off and the food supply interrupted for a month or two. They ain’t seen nothing but a life of luxury up to this point, and have no idea what bad is.

And in this day and age, the possibility of such things happening is not that unthinkable.

I have no time for those people. What is true is that I have this life and I need to live it without the guilt and annoyances of the bull shit that has been shoveled upon humanity for centuries.
Love the memes. There is no god, thus no JC, and no coming, sooner or later. 🙂

Yeah, God wants to kill everybody, again.
Excellent dissection of SOON.
