What do you think would happen if.........

Wait- what thread is this?

The "Can we do our own armed group to confront Antifa, and please come back Jesus so that the world ends and we can all go to that great Golden Corral in the sky and cluck our tongues at all of the heathens who are burning in Hell for touching their pee-pees and following one of the other thousands of wrong religions and not mine" thread.

I'm reluctant to express my "faith" on the issue. I'd like to be able to. But I don't think many Christians here would take it as being anything but...I'm at a loss for the most descriptive adjective. Let's say I'm reluctant to have the appearance of crapping on your faith. I'll just say, kingdoms rise and fall and yet the world keeps turning as if it doesn't care. Ages have been worse than now, but the trials of the day seem to always hasten the second coming. I wonder what talk of Armageddon the Civil War must have wrought.

Well, Carl Sagan was a **********. So...

My thinking is that it's silly to be confident in unknowable things. Atheists are quite certain God doesn't exist. Religious people are quite certain he/she/it does. I strongly suspect the atheists are closer to being right. But I'm open to being wrong about that.

You might want to nail down the answer to that question in this life

I cannot! Only Christ can save a soul that wants to be saved.

​Saved from what?

 

[Liberty Sanders]

Buy excepting Christ offer of redemption. He signed the check, you have to cash it.

​Redemption from what?

So take Pascal’s wager? Nah.

Let's apply Pascal's wager to masks...

 

[jamil]

Let’s apply Pascal’s wager to ****ing.

 

[foszoe]

With all the swearing, I am not sure if I would opt for lubricant or toilet paper.

Let’s apply Pascal’s wager to ****ing.

 

[BugI02]

So take Pascal’s wager? Nah.

I conclude that Pascal didn't have the table stakes to make such a wager, he never posessed true belief in order to be able to bet it, only a dry assessment of the odds. I don't believe that would be enough

Edit: Not really trying to head where we're going, the Sagan quote just somewhat fit my mental picture of you jamil

I remember seeing Kamala say on tv that when we (the dems) gain power we hunt down the Republicans and make you pay. If you want the exact guote look it up. But their coming after our homes, our guns and our Bible's, no doubt about it. Best be prepared ahead of time.
