[Adrienne Martinez] thought she'd go to medical school, until she began tuning in to Family Radio. She and her husband, Joel, lived and worked in New York City. But a year ago, they decided they wanted to spend their remaining time on Earth with their infant daughter.
"My mentality was, why are we going to work for more money? It just seemed kind of greedy to me. And unnecessary," she says.
And so, her husband adds, "God just made it possible — he opened doors. He allowed us to quit our jobs, and we just moved, and here we are."
Now they are in Orlando, in a rented house, passing out tracts and reading the Bible. Their daughter is 2 years old, and their second child is due in June. Joel says they're spending the last of their savings. They don't see a need for one more dollar.
"You know, you think about retirement and stuff like that," he says. "What's the point of having some money just sitting there?"
"We budgeted everything so that, on May 21, we won't have anything left," Adrienne adds
sucks to be her 2 kids when they realize that mommy is batshit insane.
Whoops!

Hey, thanks to the Illuminati we have no real way of knowing what time it is. Who knows when May 21, 2011 will actually happen, it might be this Saturday or it might be next week sometime.
Sometimes when shit has really gone wrong for me I wish that I could believe there was some big plan behind it. Like someone knew this would happen and had something cool planned to make it okay some day.

Oh don't worry, they'll go on public assistance and then vote against national healthcare and food stamp programs later on in 2012.

If god's plan included things like child rape, genocide, cancer, AIDS, starvation, racism, and Fox News, then maybe he's just not good at being an omnipotent being.
Maybe he's a bad god. Like the guy at your work that just fucks up everything he touches. Other planets get a competent supreme power, and Earth gets an office temp with a bad attitude. There's a plan, but it's a shitty plan by someone who doesn't give a fuck.
holy crap that is a depressing image, brb writing a poem
purgatory doesn't exist
the pope retconned it only as condition of existence, and not a place
didn't John Paul II erase Limbo from existence and not all of purgatory? Fool's Paradise still exists for people too simple to not notice they are not in heaven and that was near limbo and purgatory but not in either
John Paul II was the best pope. That guy seemed legitimately compassionate.
Now we have Hitler-Youth Sith Lord Darth Benedict XVIth. That's a guy you know does not believe in the inherent good of mankind. That is a dude that probably rubs it out to the Old Testament under his robes every day.
In regards to faith, even though I gave up God I still have faith that the universe will keep chugging no-matter what happens to any individual human's personal life. The idea that a benevolent being actually gives two shits about any one ant in his billion-square-mile ant farm and has planned out every event in their timeline was concocted by a desperate mind trembling before the enormity of existence.
also, he was elected under the assumption he wouldn't live very long and a new leader would emerge
well uh, that hasn't really worked out for the cardinals
Yeah, it's funny when that happens.
I guess they didn't have much of a choice. The media was talking all kinds of bullshit about them electing strong Catholic leaders out of South America or Africa where membership isn't in such a decline but can you imagine? A dark-skinned Pope?
Goodness, why not a mule or a dog while we're at it. Preposterous!

Which pope though? Cosmic Powered Pope, Legacy Virus Pope, Zombie Pope, or Crisis on Infinite Popes?

Haha
Retconned
It's funny because that's usually only heard in reference to comic books
limbo is on the outskirts of hell and is where those who die with original sin are consigned
also, john paul 2 made a commission that concluded that unbaptized babies would probably still go to heaven because god is not an asshole about it

I found myself being a lot happier once I gave up faith like that.
john paul deuce

"God's special love for the little ones" is how it was put, I think.
There's probably space for a joke about Catholic Priests and Paedophilia here but I can't be bothered

Like Hell. Plenty of Christians don't believe in it because Eternal Damnation means that God would have to be a real asshole.
I think spiders prove something about what kind of dick god may or may not be.

I really like this phrase.
Because Jesus said it would happen
and it hasn't happened since he said it would
ergo it must happen in the future
or something
Yeah, it's funny when that happens.

Must be because he siphons the life out of children through some dark ritual
What if we were all created 5 minutes ago, and everything before that is an implanted memory.
What if we are memories in the making? o_O
