Cult predicts end of the world...again...

How many times must a religion be wrong before we can ignore its dire predictions?

Here is 50 years of bad predictions - https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-yea ... redictions

So, can we categorize climate activism as a faith, as described in this short video? -

Which is not to say that there is no legitimate climate science, rather can we separate the science from the faith and hysteria?

We should always be ignoring them. I don't know why people give them the time of the day. It should just be laughed at and then we move on.

There have been 2000 years of bad predictions and false prophesies, starting with the clear prediction of the failed apocalyptic prophet, Jesus of Nazareth. I revere and try to follow the values of that great man, but if his prophesy of "I'll be right back" is correctly attributed to him, he was a failure in the prediction dept.

The false, Bible based apocalyptic predictions have never stopped during those 2000 years. Hal Lindsay's Late Great Planet Earth was big back in the 70's. 1988 was the date he gave for the end of the world. He's revised it several times since.

The numerous false predictions are one of those arguments, that even standing alone, refute the entire fundamentalist Christian doctrine.

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Matthew 16:28

This verse makes it clear that the writer of Matthew did not expect his gospel to have a shelf life over a hundred years, much less 2000.

Th climate cult does not seem to have a problem with eating children.

One point about great moral teachers. They are a dime a dozen, in fact we are all great moral teachers. We all know what is moral and immoral, no one needs to be taught morals, we just need to be reminded, every now and then, to actually do what we know is right.

That's a stretch. A great moral teacher lives according to those great morals. Not only are they not "a dime a dozen," but we all can list many examples of people who are or have been the exact opposite of "great moral teachers," starting with the current occupant of the White House.

I live according to my own great morals, as do you and others. Even the orange man lives according to his own great moral values and spends days and nights making America great. Equality, liberty and fraternity (among other things) are just not a part of his moral values, and it would be the height of arrogance for me to insist that he should hold my great moral values as his.

For example, I think we should devote as little resources as possible to mentally challenged children and devote as much as is possible to mentally gifted children. To most people this is not moral at all. But, this gives us a stronger future as we will get more gifted children who will contribute more to society, instead of more challenged children who will never contribute anything other than the companionship of human pets.

I can't tell if you are serious about anything you post. But the orange man has no morals. He is amoral as opposed to immoral. He's a classic sociopath. He is still trying to learn how to be human he hasn't a clue. He's just guessing at what the rest of us consider good behavior. Example, he liberally uses profanity that would get him banned here a hundred times over, but he won't say 'jock strap' because that might be objectionable. He has no internal compass.

So, no, he is not like the rest of us.

Miss the news cycle? That was a plant by die-hard rightwing activists. They even claimed credit for it.
