Stereotypical religious nutjobs in the 80s and 90s were all "The end is nigh!" Now that science supports them, they're all "Everything is A-OK!"

  • That is another, yes.

  • Matthew 16:28

    I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.

    Mark 9:1

    And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.

    Luke 9:27

    I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God

    Re saying John wouldn’t die, that’s actually an inference but a not uncommon theological belief among evangelicals. John 21:20-23

    “20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

    22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”” .

  • It’s actually the antichrist that’s the real sign.

    And interestingly enough, there are (imo solid) arguments that Trump fits nearly all the descriptions of what the antichrist would look like.

  • They’ve believed the end is near for 2000 years.

    Shit, the Bible says that the rapture would happen before a particular apostle would die. Yet, here we are without a 2000 year old apostle.

    The gymnastics to make it make sense are that he had a vision of the end when he ‘wrote’ Revelations.

  • Hmm. Ok I’ll look into it. Thanks!

  • I’m not so worried with the electrical or plumbing (I imagine it’s not far off from the dishwasher I just installed), it’s more the installing it to code that I’m worried about. I don’t know all the tools I need and I’m not keen on screwing up and it turning into a multi day job.

    Water heater and breaker box work are two things I contract out.

  • It would be about $400/year cheaper to operate, but cost between 1200-1500 up front to buy and get installed (no idea how much installation actually is because no one wants to spill I guess).

    So I’m guessing between 2-3 years to recoup the cost.

    Bigger problem is that I’m not liquid enough to afford the up front cost right now.

  • As soon as I can afford it, I’m getting one. I just don’t have the 4 figures laying around to pay for it and I won’t do it on credit if it’s not an emergency.

  • I’ll vote Biden because I know at the end of his term he’ll leave office.

    I’ll take that over the uncertainty of trump who will surely be on the ballot. Not to mention, as a person whose just come out this year, I’m not confident I’d be safe under a trump presidency.
