Yeah, they posted this on FB and my response was, I guess they got bored predicting the end of the world, now they're on the end of religion kick. Really? Why not put that government funding to good use and figure out something that could really help mankind. Dumbasses!

I don't think that "unaffiliated" means "non-religious" or "non-spiritual" or "atheist."

As we move deeper into this pseudo, loosely-knit community of the internet, many of the real gatherings in life are sacrificed...you know, like time for family, church & pubs & such. I know I have far deeper conversations on-line than I do in real time, because it's just easier to do. I never sit around & talk politics at the local bar. I'd prolly get my butt kicked for even mentioning many of the things I do, in here. LOL

That being said, it's going to be easier for ppl of like mind to hook up, here, than it ever was in a church setting. So the church becomes obsolete for many ppl, but it DOESN'T mean that they will leave behind their religious beliefs. It's only the venue that changes.

Haha, Phil, I ran across this quote and immedately thought of you because of your signature by Buckley - just gotta share cause it's funny! Here's the quote

In the early 1960s, opinionist William F Buckley, Jr., wrote: "The Beatles are not merely awful, I would consider it sacrilegious to say anything less than that they are godawful.... They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of anti-music."

This prediction was made hundreds of years ago. It was supposed to happen by the late 1800's. :roll:

I remember everyone freaking out on this tugboat I was on, on New Years Eve 1999. You know, that whole Y2K thing? Would have interesting to see everything go out while floating underneath the Golden Gate bridge.

How can anyone predict the end of the world? The weatherman/lady can't even get tomorrow's weather over half the time!
