Are We In Danger?

[Theland]

What do you think?

//If you're prepared to have a one to one debate about it then count me in//

As you ARN'T prepared, as YOU wish!

[Theland]

Don't be so spikey Nailit.

[woofgang]

spikey.......Nailit........I see what you did there.

[spathiphyllum]

Every religion is metaphoric

[spathiphyllum]

the issue with religion is people taking it (in their own interpretation) so literally

[jim360]

I think you're in serious danger of getting repetitive.

[mibn2cweus]

The greatest danger might well be from those who believe first without consideration for and a full understanding of the consequences.

[Theland]

Mibs - so use your faith in rational thought, to first look at the prophecies.
Second, study current affairs in the Middle East.
Third, consider, are they congruent?

Ah, Christadelphian then, Theland. (What did you say about the trinity when I asked you about it the other day?)

To other posters: Christadelphian is one of the millennial sect which developed out of the Milleritemovements in the USA in the early 1800s. Miller promised that the Rapture would take place in 1844, and the faihful duly assembled and endured the usual disappointment when JC did a no-show.

Better known Millerite derivatives are the Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.

[Theland]

Vetuste - And I don't subscribe to either.

Yes, of course, we all in danger. I am sitting here wring my diary and can see the trucks with the revolving aerials searching for hidden radios. I just watched as Mr. and Mrs. Rothstein just got herded into a large transport. Frankly, I have reached the conclusion that I am in real danger.

[Theland]

Clever but a bit off target. Relevance? Not really.
But clever though. And sad.

[sanmac]

Theland, I was just trying to point out that the concept of danger and its results vary wildly according to the situation.

[Theland]

Sanmac - I get it. Clever.

//faith in rational thought//

I'm not a subscriber to the oxymoron of the month club.

[vetuste_ennemi]

"Rational thought" rests on axioms.

Axioms are articles of faith.

[THECORBYLOON]

Millerite? Is that not a lager?

[THECORBYLOON]

THELAND said the other night he drinks eight cans of lager a night so I think I see a connexion...

[vetuste_ennemi]

Could be, couldn't it?

[naomi24]

Theland, what do I think? I think you're scraping the barrel. We’ve had offerings from all sorts, from Islam to Jehovah’s Witnesses - and now from the equally potty Christadelphians…. but to the real question, ‘Are we in danger?’ You’re not in danger. You have faith so whatever happens you’re going to survive death. What’s your problem?
