Christian group predicts the world will be 'annihilated' on Wednesday

Last edited Tue Oct 6, 2015, 12:10 PM - Edit history (1)

Just saying but you might want to skip work and not pay your bills today.

While our planet may have survived September’s “blood moon”, it will be permanently destroyed on Wednesday, 7 October, a Christian organization has warned.

The eBible Fellowship, an online affiliation headquartered near Philadelphia, has based its prediction of an October obliteration on a previous claim that the world would end on 21 May 2011. While that claim proved to be false, the organization is confident it has the correct date this time.

“According to what the Bible is presenting it does appear that 7 October will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away,” said Chris McCann, the leader and founder of the fellowship, an online gathering of Christians headquartered in Philadelphia.

“It’ll be gone forever. Annihilated.”

I was riding in Reach the Beach, wearing bib number 316. I figured I was golden. If I got raptured with my bike, I figured it was the pearly gates for sure. But I thought that if my helmet came with, that was probably a bad sign.

And, since it's already October 7 somewhere on the planet, it appears that Mr. McCann is just as full of shit as his mentor. That makes five or six apocalypses I've survived. These people should really take advantage of the opportunity to shut up more.

Of course, he'll jump at the chance. What could possibly go wrong?

I made my bed and did laundry already today.

It also might explain why my coffee maker acted up this morning. I surely thought the world was ending, until it finally started brewing.

Only learned about it while surfing YouTube, and I came across this video. It's 46 minutes of acute apophenia and Christian worldview conspiracy theory and actually fun to watch on a certain level.

"On September 16th, this wicked, wicked woman named MADONNA, has this concert at Madison Square Gardens. And if you follow Madonna at all, and I hope to god you don't, many of her concerts are nothing more than evil satanism. It's almost like she's practicing witchcraft on the stage in all of the ways that they dress up, and it's perverted, it's disgusting, it's not christian!"

Wicked, WICKED woman! She makes me feel funny and think bad things! Eeeeeeeevil!!!
