Um, yes.....
The prophets are still among us, here in the states at least, in the nausea inducing personages of Falwell, Robertson, Reed, Graham, the cretin Hovind, et al.. Their main prophtcy is not so much that Big J is on the way, but what wonderful things must be done with the faithful's money before he wakes up and finally performs his belated encore. And they got to have that "gift of faith" right now, 'cause he's a'coming back any day now!
Pile o' crap, entirely.
"... and the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls,
And tenement halls......." -- Simon and Garfunkle
It's none of my business, verlch, so tell me to fuck off if you wish, but I'm curious; how much do the prophets take off you in a year?

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

I wonder how much 'Darwin' profited off of his unproved fiction???? or perhaps drivel???
Hey, look, he learned a new word! And you guys thought he wasn't capable of learning. |
The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.
