We have lived through September 9, 1999 or 9999.
We esaped the end of the millinium wrath on 12-31-99 or was it 12-31-00. But, my friend, what are we going to do on June 6, 2006 = 666. Will our fundy friends ask congress to have two
June 5ths that year?

I'm still thinking about this:

Christians worried and saved and panicked about 12-31-99 and nothing happened.

Then...September 11th.

What's the point?

911 is an evil number, and no one shall get an ambulance, nor speak their name

BigJim

Of course most of the planet's inhabitants refer to that date as 11-9, not 9-11.

Viti

Good point BigJim. I seriously doubt the terrorists specifically chose the emergency number which is only used in the US...

Mecha_Dude

loophole! it could be 6606!

Amos

Not to put a spell on you Jim, but does that not make it worse for America?

kwigibo

as do i, it's just easier to compromise with americans

Ahhh, but Helen, something DID happen. The makers of SPAM (the canned...guess what it is...meat> had their biggest year with the Y2K panic. Do christians eat a lot of Spam?

Hmmm...good question. But then it was not only Christians who stored up food just in case .

The best reason I heard for this was 'if we have food we can help other people who don't, if a crisis happens'.

But I still would have liked to hear more serious discussion among Christians over where to draw the line between "God will take care of us if a crisis happens - of course!" and "Where is the nearest spam vendor?"

If a theist always takes care of their own needs - real and even potential - then they will never know whether God would have done it for them in awesome ways, demonstrating His personal love and care for them, had they waited for him to do it.

They will never know; of course people here would have an opinion about that, though
