The September Doomsday Bust: 'Prophets' Blow Claims About Series Of Calamities

The September Doomsday Bust: 'Prophets' Blow Claims About Series Of Calamities
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 10/1/2015 2:35 pm

Matthew 7:15-20

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ...

in secure facilities with tall walls that are topped with razor wire.

And given horse-sized doses of Thorazine every hour on the hour.

In perpetuity.

that believes we live in a country formed to be totally neutral regarding any favoritism toward any religion, including my own.

It works and that's how it should remain. Any of these false prophets that claims the founders of the USA wanted to set up a "Christian nation" are outrageous liars.

Jeez Washington, Jefferson and Adams must be spinning in their graves with the total BS being said about them in these idiot days!
