Sink Holes

You can skip to the movie at the bottom of this post if you want to. This first part is just background information about sinkhole formation.


Here's how sinkholes work:

This next diagram shows the various types of sinkholes that are likely to appear in different areas of the planet:

The whole process might take ten or twelve thousand years, but all we see is the last few minutes when the surface finally gives way and drops to the bottom of the hole.



There is nothing new about sinkholes - they have been appearing throughout history. Some are so old they have jungles growing in them:



And this one (Lake Tulane in Florida USA) was formed 60,000 years ago:



In some areas they are so common you will probably drive past three or four of them on your way to work:



In fact they are so common that geologists have drawn up world maps showing where sinkholes are likely to appear; how big they might be, and how often they can be expected to appear:

Now listen to these two Christians as they pretend to know what is really going on:



The basic gist of their message is this:
(1) We've been hearing a lot about sinkholes recently.
(2) We don't know how they work.
(3) Therefore we do know that god sent them as a warning of the end times. 
Preachers like this just make me sick. By their own admission they know absolutely nothing about sinkholes, yet they have the audacity to tell their audience that they really do know what is going on: it's an oogedy-boogedy sign from god! Next thing they'll be telling us that Jesus walked on water! (And who knows; their ratbag followers will probably believe that as well.)


Go back to the video and listen again to the clown on the left when he says,
These sinkholes are happening in urban areas. They're not happening in the countryside so much, but only in urban areas.
And less than twenty seconds later he contradicts himself by saying,
It seems to be happening everywhere. It's not just one particular area in the world.

These guys are predicting that Jesus is about to return to earth, but I have an alternate prediction:

I predict the two preachers will spend their whole life waiting for Jesus to return but he will never arrive. They will go to their deathbed knowing that they got it wrong. They expected to see Jesus, and Jesus didn't turn up.

We'll have to wait a while, but let's see whose prediction comes true. I think mine will. What do you think?


[The thing that really pisses off Christians is that they know that I am right. They desperately want me to be wrong, and they fervently pray that Jesus will soon return, but realistically, deep down in their hearts, they just know it's never going to happen in their lifetime.]
