Can you imagine the disaster if the J-Man returns and calls himself Mohammed? And what happens if he is born on 6 June 2006? Fear not for I seek more temptation. It's time for a beer.

He's just the kind of guy to play that kind of joke, too. Oh, Jesus, you're such a card!

On the record: Let's not overlook the birth of the red heffer and the possibility of Isreal rebuilding the temple. These plus all the natural disasters, technology allow the mark of the beast, wars should be enough to dust off your bibles and bone up on your redemption.

Off the record: I occationally lead a bible study group, and I teach kindergarten "Sunday school." Despite this, I have a hard time totally buying into the "sign of the times" concept. It's always typical of us humans to mold so called "signs" into a convient concept that suits the current idea. There have been killer storms for centuries. There have always been wars, starvation, etc. One of the reasons why we are more aware of it is becuase we live in an age where information can reach us the second it happens. CNN, internet news. Plus the news outlets love to spread bad news. Flavor of the day. How much information are we recieving from Bagdad as of late becuase of the hurricanes?

Something else we do as humans is put God on a time schedule. Time is a manmade concept. God follows his own clock, time means nothing to him. We can't predict anthing biblical, that's why we're told to always be ready.

I guess what I am saying is, I am not totally discounting the "signs", and sometimes rain is just....rain.

Jeeze, I'm starting to sound like TW, maybe it is the end of times

So then, what's a good little Athiest to do?

Perhaps you'd say I'm part of the problem.

That's the thing about being an Athiest, you can do whatever you want.
