That Geezus didn't come because they hadn't killed enough homosexuals and abortionists in '07. - Ifishbein, on 10/12/2007, -15/+135I'm not surprised since 80% of Americans who can name the 5 members of the Simpson family can't name the 5 parts of the 1st amendment.
- smojo12, on 10/12/2007, -15/+120I'm one of those 80%.
- DJCult, on 10/12/2007, -0/+89@atdigg: then 25% of Americans will believe Jesus will return in 2008.
- kevinmotel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+59A lot of people think that the world will end in 2012 due to some calculation of the Mayan Calendar . My Christian fundamentalist friend (and I'm an atheist, so our conversations are interesting, to say the least) is sure the Rapture will come in his lifetime. I, needless to say, am not so sure about that.
- atdigg, on 10/12/2007, -7/+64Big deal! If there would be a show with 1st amendment 2 times/day at TV and it would be funny people will know it by heart.
Interesting what those 25% will think at the end of 2007. - sirloin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+43I live down the street from Jesus.
Jesus Martinez - kuzotz, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4690% of Americans believe that Jesus was White.
- maiku00, on 10/12/2007, -6/+38this makes me ***** SCARED. I can't believe it, how could this be true? One quarter of America is THIS far removed from reality? I mean, I know that a vast majority are pretty clueless, but they actually believe this? Insanity.
AFK to throw up - thesauce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Actually, basic psychology/sociology will teach you that the general opinions of a small group of people will almost always reflect the opinions of the majority with a small margin of error.
Then again, if they took this poll only using people out in West Texas, then it would be full of *****. - clubmasta2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27This just in, recent poll from AP finds those same 25% of americans are dumber than rocks.
- swiftekho, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27It's the same 25% that approve of Bush in the approval ratings
- scott1, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30It seems like some Christians want apocalypse to happen, during their lifetimes.That's something they should not want to live to see. And if it does happen their going to regret it.
- d00ley, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25The Mayan Calendar ends on December 21, 2012.
- FushBuck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23I was just about to question this statistic -only 25% of americans believe the rapture is going to occur? I thought it was more like 44%. But then I read the rest of it -in 2007. Wow, just wow.
Let me rephrase that, in case it didn't quite sink in.
One out of four americans believe the rapture is going to occur next year. - blapierre, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25@scratched
The Bill of Rights doesn't "give out" rights. It just enumerates some of the rights that all humans are born with that the government must not violate. - DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21@MASTERPL
"You can't just ignore scripture because it goes against your religion."
So how often are you stoning bad children and disrespectful slaves? - D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19No, he's right...5 rights by 1st amendment, 10 amendments in the Bill of rights....
- orbit1979, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18In the last century of the Roman Empire, it was all doom-and-gloom for those people as well. Many believed the world was coming to an end. Christianity flourished because it offered the illusion of a better place after death.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20@scott1
I suspect that most of the people who want the Rapture simply want to make to heaven without that icky business of dying. Others simply hate the world and everyone who inhabits it (and before you digg me down for being too mean to fundamentalists, just read http://www.rr-bb.com/). - AmishRefugee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17This just in, 25% of americans are retarded.... wait woah, that was in south park a few weeks ago, heh
"The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. . . . They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. . . . I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened." -Jesus (Matthew 24:29-34)
"For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. 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." -Jesus (Matthew 16:27-28)
if Jesus really is the messiah, you already missed him, considering he's infallible according to christians... - freff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I swear, that people that I'm surrounded by on a daily basis are beginning to look less and less familiar to me.
- slicedoranges, on 10/12/2007, -15/+31This just in: 25% of Americans are stupid
- Y0tsuya, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18"I live down the street from Jesus."
Hey me too. My gardner is named Jesus. He told me he'll be visiting relatives in Venezuela so I'd have to wait until he comes back in 2007 to have my hedges trimmed. - mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -5/+20I hate all those left behind books and I'm a good devout Catholic. Everyone who believes those are inspired by the Bible are ridiculous. In the Bible it says NOTHING about people being left behind.
- pesh2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Nope, the Muslim beliefs are plenty ridiculous also. But the Muslim vote doesn't put politicians into office. Most of the US is Christian, not Muslim.
Most of the people who mock fundie Christians have no use for Islam, and mock fundie Muslims too. - Yareking, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16I think 25% are affected by mental illness
- reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15That's because Muslims are a very small minority in the US. If they were the majority, diggers would be making fun of them.
- Ellsass, on 11/05/2008, -0/+14Interesting how 29% think we'll go to war with Iran or North Korea, but 35% think we'll have a draft. Where do they think we'll be sending those drafted soldiers? Iraq?
- offput, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17You can believe in an afterlife if you wish. However, I reserve the right to ridicule you when you believe that all the dead of the world will come to life and be physically brought to heaven or hell as an apocalyptic battle of good vs evil scorches our planet.
- arduenn, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1675,000,000 people can't be wrong... Or can they be?
- Ellsass, on 11/05/2008, -1/+13Most polls are conducted with about 1000 people. As long as the sample is random, it should be relatively representative -- that's that the margin of error accounts for.
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"I hate all those left behind books and I'm a good devout Catholic."
Hardcore Evangelicals don't consider Catholics to be "real" Christians. Read this: http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0071/0071_01.asp - SammyJr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14In other news, out of the 25%, 100% of them unquestioningly support George W. Bush.
- greymaxcat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13this just in: 95% of Americans think that 95% of Americans are stupid.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11And now you see why the leaders encouraged Christianity. Don't revolt against your God-given King! I mean, sure your life sucks now, but you'll be rewarded in the afterlife with a whole new King! No seriously, I'm not making this up and if you DARE question me, I'll have you burned to death at the stake, heretic.
- akira117, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I believe Flying Spaghetti monster will fly over the mountain again,
but I'm not holding my breath (we all know he is a lazy bastard,
unlike Jesus) - maehem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I agree. However, the last election suggests that the number is closer to 1 in 2 Americans are retarded.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Jesus better be careful, he might get drafted.
- uptown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10You live in Texas, huh?
- jasonprussell, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14Jesus was already here, we just hung him in Iraq. Do I have to explain everything to you people?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I find it humorous how some people shrug off modern day explanations, but if it comes from the Bible it "Must Be Right".
In Example,
In Revelations, it states that John being exiled to Patmos "Had a Vision". Christians regard his accounts as what will come.
BUT
Let someone come forward today who had been exiled to an island and had "Revelations and Visions" about the future, and he will be labled as a crazy.
Just my two pennies. - Derrekito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10So does this prove that at LEAST 1 out of 4 people in the U.S is retarded? (South Park)
- simondotcalvin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12@scratched
The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments, Corky. The first amendment gives citizens the rights of free religion, assembly, speech, petition, and press. - jasonsbytes, on 10/12/2007, -13/+22@polyGone: Christinaty isn't stupid; it's just that a lot of the people who claim to be Christians are...
@Ulisses: Jeses never spoke on the topic of homsexuality. He did say to love all as you love yourself. This includes homosexuals and everyone else. And for those stupid Christians who think homosexuals are the enemy... Well the bible says to love thy enemy, so there's no way around... A true Christian must not hate homosexuals or anyone else. - hwulykthmapples, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9@ offput
Can anyone say zombies? It's Time to Lock And Load. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9You can just imagine what sort of plans they make for the future. I'd fear for them if they just skipped investments because they foolishly believed that Jesus would come back to carry them off before they got to retirement age. But when they disregard long-term damage (such as that caused by global warming) to the rest of the world because they believe that Jesus is coming any second now, that's when I fear for myself and my neighbors. They vote, and government policy is actually influenced by these nuts.
- Mousse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Saddam died for your sins
- h2d2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11I hope his abilities weren't overstated or exaggerated...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScfUjvE1NCg - ebolaworld, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9These same people thought the rapture would occur in 2006.
