Subject: hello

sorry I didn't fall for the new millineum all the computers going down the world's going to end fallacy and I'm certainly NOT falling for the 2012 lie either, sorry missy, the BIBLE says NO man OR Woman will know the day or time of HIS JESUS CHRIST's coming and certainly NOT you my dear….

I have completely had it with these messages so if you are one who lives and swears by the Holy Bible and feel it appropriate to send me ignorant messages such as this, let’s get a few things straight. 

NUMBER 1:   You have obviously not read my book.  “The Signs of the End” does not state a convoluted interpretation that I am saying “The End is Coming.” Additionally, if you read my book, you would read and most certainly comprehend that I have not predicted the end of the world, I have not hopped on the boat of theories and ludicrous notions developed by those who have studied the Aztec calendar citing that the end is coming in 2012.  I am not a conspiracist nor have I made any attempt to disavow religious doctrines such as The Holy Bible.

NUMBER 2:  The False Prophet Accusation.  I have never claimed to be a prophet and furthermore, I have addressed “false prophets” in my book – who they are and what they are.  I am infuriated with the ignorance that befalls me and I am not taking it lying down anymore.  I am an Orthodox Christian by background and have an unyielding belief in God.

NUMBER 3:  The New Millennium Theorists:  I was never a part of these asinine theories and furthermore, I find such encroaching insinuations to be nothing more than manifested ignorance. 

NUMBER 4:  The Holy Bible and Other Relied Upon Religious Doctrines: Question:  Who penned the pages of The Holy Bible and other relied upon religious doctrines?  Were these life-affirming guidelines written by God Himself when he came down to earth, picked up a writing utensil and penned the verses contained therein?  Or were the pages within our Holy books penned by human beings? Now, let’s take this one step further.  Who interpreted these scriptures and published them into a book called The Holy Bible (or other religious doctrines as they are)?   Reality check people. 

NUMBER 5:  Ignorance is Bliss.  It must be extremely comfortable for many to remain in their swimming pool of ignorance and spit out their closed-minded dogma.  And while the spewing of such idiocy may in fact add to the bliss, I personally, will not sit idly any longer. Intelligent conversation is one thing however I am finding more inanity than I care to.  If you are one that flounders within a pool of ignorance, such as the one who sent me this message, than I would ask that you please keep your idiocy to yourself.  It is quite time consuming to read, let alone respond to, such absurdity.

NUMBER 6:  The End.  I have completed my rant.  If you comment to this blog post, I would ask that you do so with some sort of intelligence. AND I remind you that if you feel so inclined to comment on my book without having reading it, you have no authority to do so, as that would be an ignorant reply on your behalf.
