What, like the world ending last week? Or all the other doomsday predictions in the past. Or that jesus would return within one generation after his death?
Could you name me a single prediction from the bible that has actually come true?
How can anyone view the bible as a book of truth, or being the words of god?
It was written my men.
Bronze age men, who knew nothing of the world except that it was flat.
Men with an agenda!
NEVER!
As much as you'd like it, religeous types will never silence the truth. Hopefully, with enough education, the truth will eventually silence religeon!
Only people who waste thier lives dissappear when they die.
Did Einstiens discussion "fail" when he died?
Bowing down to some imaginary creator does not "give you a shot at continuance", this is only achieved by doing great things while you are alive. Stop wasting your life and go do...
