Oh, you care about them all of a sudden?
You have screws loose.. Too much time cowering I suppose.

A disease that kills so few that come down with it as this one does is far far from a disaster. and yes I would say the same to relatives of those who died from it.
You're a funny little man... :lol:
So, in the religious forums you seem to think that the virus is the end of the world, but in the political ones it's not a big enough threat for you to take the scientific approach and do what is needed to minimize it.
Either you're really dumb, or you're rooting for the end of the world....but I'm the one with the loose screws... :lamo
Keep going, bud, you're doing just great.
When one of your loved ones die, it feels like the end. For older couples, it often is.
Go back to cowering, bud. You aren't even keeping up with your own lies.
The end is not coming.
In the context the OP is going with, keep up.
But humanity has experienced pandemics before, and this one is mild compared to the Black Death or the Spanish flu, so how is this one any different?
Sorry - but all this is repulsive rubbish.
And what I find especially repulsive is this constant Bible "Christian" joy about the end of the world, when Bible "Christians" think they will go to heaven and everybody else will go to hell.
Christians would be better suited imo. Just look at modern White Evangelicals. They support scamming money from children with cancer, stealing from charity, bragging about sexually assaulting women, scamming people with fake universities. There seems to be literally nothing most won't support for personal gain. According to White Evangelicals:
Survey: White Evangelicals See Trump As 'Honest' And 'Morally Upstanding' : NPR
Unlike White Evangelicals, the vast majority of people of Jewish decent I know are against this kind of stuff.
Maybe the false prophets we were warned about.
Can we stay on-topic, please? This thread isn't about Trump!
And I surely don't want this to be a venue for racist bashing of white folks! Create your own thread!
NASA isn't claiming to be a religious prophet.
And, I surely didn't make any insinuations in the OP that it is.
NASA gave a foerecast................ based on science.
Furthermore, to describe a big disaster as "biblical proportion" is not uncommon. Another term for it is "apocalyptic."

I was replying to someone that was trying to make fun of prophets and Biblical scripture.
See post #19
You need to work on your English comprehension skills. We're discussing movies about Catastrophe's of Biblical Proportions, and I was pointing out how Christians would be perfect for the role of the Mayans in the movie. Trump was just part of a survey where the majority of Evangelicals acknowledged they support racism, stealing from charity, scamming children with cancer, etc..
Please, do try to keep up.
Pointing out admitted racists is now racist? What pretzels the Trump base twists themselves into to justify their behavior. :lamo
this thread isn't meant to discuss movies.
No, I was just pointing out how ridiculous those "prophecies" were. Predicting there will be earthquakes and famine is no different than predicting there will be rain. Particularly when earthquakes and famine were common.
J.K. Rowling must be a prophet too, because she predicted there would be cars in mankind's future.
No you were doing exactly as I said.
Your lack of religion doesn't diminish the faith of others.
I was pointing out that I can make prophecies just as impressive as those in the bible.
Obviously that's going to make people who think they are something special look foolish, but that's not my fault.
I don't believe in Santa Claus,
but that doesn't diminish the faith of those who do.

So based on your logic, you must believe Santa Claus exists, because every Christmas, people describe gift givers as Secret Santa, Santa Claus, etc.
Everyone can make prophecies, lol. As impressive and outrageous you want them to be, too.
Making prophecies is one thing. Making PROPHECIES THAT COME TRUE, is quite another!
....people who don't know the difference between making prophecies and making prophecies that come true, that is. :lamo
I hope so! Lol. How old are you? :lol:
LITTLE CHILDREN, you mean.
Eh? Do you understand what you quoted from me?
You've got big problems with comprehension, I can see that. And, with logic too! :mrgreen: Pathetic, as a matter of fact!
Why would you conclude I believe Santa Clause exists because......"every Christmas, people describe gift givers as Secret Santa, Santa Claus, etc."
What the heck what others do or say, got to do with me?
How old are you? :lol:
LITTLE CHILDREN, you mean.
Much like what is described in the Bible.......
Luke 21
9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
.......... might be coming!
The virus might just be one of many disasters and upheavals that's about to descend on us........IF NASA's prediction proves to be bang-on!
NASA Predicts Next Solar Cycle will be Lowest in 200 Years (Dalton Minimum Levels) + the Implications - Electroverse
It had happened before. The question is: how will it compare with the precedents?
