Precisely iantimothy, if he had actually read the bible, he would realise that it CLEARLY states that NO ONE can know when it will be.
Also he's a nut case and presents a bad image for Christians- Most Christians don't believe him, but his STUPID prediction has made us look stupid and has sparked more religious hatred comments towards us such as: "This be great. All the Christians off to enjoy their holiday in eternity, if this guy is to be believed, and then the rest of us can get on without homophobics, creationists, islamophobes and all those right wing fundamentalists. Nice. Let's hope they close the door when they go."
Which is completely not true. Of course there are some homophobics and so called islamophobes, but the vast majority of Christians are not like that. Of course, two different religions' views will conflict but that does not mean Christians hate Muslims. And Muslims don't agree with Christians, that doesn't mean either hate each other. Christians are NOT homophobic, they just do not agree with the principal, because it conflicts upon their beliefs. Muslims are allowed to marry more than one person in Sharia law countries, but they aren't allowed to in Western countries such as the UK- does that make us islamophobes? No, of course not, we just don't agree with their way of life and the same can be applied to the view of Christians with regards homosexuality. The word homophobic is used far too quickly nowadays, when in fact it's just a disagreement with beliefs. Christians do not hate gay people, we respect them for who they are, but they should also respect us for who we are, and our views.
I've just ranted on an inappropriate forum- oops
