The rapture has been coming any day now for two thousand years. It’s funny too because the Bible states itself that nobody knows when the second coming will happen and yet these idiots still try to predict it

Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

After talking about end times and signs of end times the bible literally says

Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. (Matthew 24:34).

Christians need to read their own book.

Some evangelical sects believe that one of the apostles was transported to heaven without dying, so they believe that that generation has technically not passed away.

Get around biblical contradictions with this one weird trick!

What if all the apostles were buried alive

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 20 points 2 years ago

It’s already happened and nobody noticed.

A couple of hippies disappeared no one else was worthy.

Hey, at least there’s beer and weed here in hell-on-earth. It’s supposed to only be 7 years though, I guess the clock broke.

Every few years it's "the end of the world" 😂

I rarely chime in on these sorts of things, but maybe the bible was talking about AGI. ahahaha. We have no idea if it is really coming and at what hour. Might already be here. The Bible never said the Son of Man would be a human and AGI is our offspring.

[-] ChemicalPilgrim@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

AGI can't be worse at running things than a bunch of temperamental apes so let's go for it

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Hey, I’m no ape! Don’t make me filling shit at you

[-] Immersive_Matthew@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Right. I have been saying this all over the place when I see humans doing awful things. I am not worried about AGI or ASI as much as I am worried about humans destroying the planet one way or another. Just ask the rest of the animal kingdom who they rather have in change.
