Well, here it's June 9 and the Website still hasn't changed:
http://www.wecanknow.com/

One would think they would revise the Website to the new date, but maybe they think it's better just to abandon that Website altogether and pretend it never existed.

I've seen several photos of "That Was Awkward" billboards. I wonder if the billboards are real, or if they are a Photoshop production.

I don't believe the Mayan calendar 2012 end-of-the-world date, either. I don't believe in predictions, period. I did find some really cool Rapture photos, though.

I dunno, Joe.... most of the images of actual 'people' going ^up seem to be WASPs. And the really interesting photos are on pages 2 and following. Did you see the naked girls and the bunny with the butterflies?

The whole thing reminds me of Heinlein's list from "The Notebooks of Lazarus Long"

"One man's theology is another man's belly laugh."

So many questions, lighter! ;-) You must be a very inquiring fellow. I shall attempt to answer some of them (merely for my own amusement, because I've got some free time on my hands at the moment, and I hardly care what you choose to believe or not believe...it doesn't matter...but why not amuse myself?).

Okay...

"Doesn't an unmistakable, divinely inspired experience violate one's free will to choose wrong?"

No, it doesn't. Not in the least. You are still free to choose wrongly if you want after having had that experience. For instance, an Angel could appear in front of you and advise you to stop smoking for your own good and to stop treating your wife and your dog badly. You would probably be momentarily shocked and a bit cowed in the face of such an unexpected event....but an hour later you would say to yourself, "What a load of bollocks! There are no Angels. I must have had a hallucination. And even if it was a real Angel, what right does an Angel have to tell ME what to do? To hell with that! I'm going to light up a cig right now, kick the dog, and make disparaging remarks to the wifey about her looks, character, and reasoning abilities. Ha!"

See what I mean? Your free will was NOT taken away by the divinely inspired experience. Not one whit. You remain 100% free to be any kind of idiot you want to be, and in your own special way.

(grin)

Okay, that's enough entertainment for the moment. If I get bored in awhile, I'll come back and answer some more of your rhetorical questions.

I kinda like this Rapture photo. Bill's comment about the naked girls makes me wonder - is Heaven a nudist colony?
Maybe not - the Good Book talks of the "children dressed in white."

It was a relief to see that this thread was revived by Joe. I thought for a second or two that I would only live until the end of the week or something.

*grin*...maybe Heaven is not... but some folks will use any excuse to show naked pics.
