Like I said, I wasn't posting to offend anyone.  I was stating my views on the matter in a relevant thread.

I take a lot of offence at religion itself, and people never seem to find that a valid reason to be offended.  Again, I'm sorry to have offended anyone, I just can't stand religion.  Imagine if I were to go into a theist's house and spend an hour disproving their deity of choice.  I get something similar from everyone else.
Don't read into what I say too much.  Very rarely is it a personal insult, or meant to be offensive.  I just say it how it is, and I don't sugar coat anything to make it less so.

I can see where you were coming from, because it happens to me too.  I mean no offense, yet it happens.

BUT, it would have been best to stay on topic.  A post such as "I agree that something like this is not needed to disprove Christianity" would have been sufficient.

For real believers it is impossible to disprove a religion. religion is impossible to disprov

I understand why you posted it and how you don't want to sugar coat it but sometimes you have to

I agree with hot_dog. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. If your post got a -5 rating but not others, there's a reason, and generally such posts can lead to a ban (which, in this case would be for life, because you already got a 7+ day ban before).

Back on topic, I did not believe the judgement day thing. To me it seemed more like a hoax or an attempt to gain attention from medias, plus it seemed like a total misinterpretation of the Bible.

For me, the Bible should never be taken literally. It's just a bunch of metaphors to teach us about life. That's what, for me, Christianity (and a bunch of other religions who have similar books) is and should be. This Camping guy (not Camper), like too many people in the past, took it literally, this is what I believe is a great error.

That's interesting.  In my opinion, on the other hand, I think he didn't take it literally enough.

Well, the thing is that also he might have misinterpreted some things. It's like terrorists with the Kuran: In no way the Kuran itself encourages to kill people.

For me, he just added a bunch of random numbers he found in the Bible and said it was legit. Which is kinda stupid.

Yeah true, and if it could work, maybe he did math errors too, because he did the same thing with 1994 apparently.

At 6-8 PM at work I pretty much forgot it was apparently supposed to happen, then later I was like "hey wasn't the world supposed to end or something earlier lol?"

Yeah, from what I heard, apparently he subtracted something instead of adding it, I wonder what he'll say this time.
