Hopefully the end of “religion.” Maybe Christians will stop merely spreading the Gospel and start carrying out the Gospel so that all may SEE the Truth.
Um, they forgot to take out Europe there at the end. There may be remnants of cultural “Christianity,” but most of Europe is no longer Christianized in any meaningful sense. And there are huge Islamic populations in places like Paris and London.
Seth has a good point with the rising church of generalized spirituality. The God self - worship places will be built with mirrors. (BTW I’m SO over calling to boycott so and so - we Christians are getting such a bad rep as sour whiners - where’s the JOY?!)So the countdown is to when we all go without comforts? Kind of unsettling(that is the purpose right?)even the one posting isn’t clear on what is the end moment of counting down.
About Oprah. I actually love her. I think she’s just great. I wish everyone who had a billion dollars would do their own T.V. show so they could have a giving competition. Actually, I just wish I had a billion dollars. Period. Screw that competition business. Shoot!
The only thing that ever bothers me about Oprah is that she misrepresents Christianity - in her doctrinal comments. She says she’s a Christian but then goes on to say that “Jesus didn’t come to die on the cross and rise again. He came to show us the Christ consciousness within us all. (parphrased)”
Huh? This is like, 1980’s-90’s new age stuff here. I mean, why don’t we just all break out our crystals and dream-catchers and throw on our frosted, pipe-legged blue jeans.
I think the worst is when she seems to make it a special project to “free” other weak-minded Christians that can’t seem to reconcile Christianity to Eckhart Tolle (duh) into thinking that the idea of a Jealous God doesn’t make sense and the we need to think outside of our box and think inside of her and Ekhart’s box.
But, even with that… instead of the Oprah-witch hunt, you just got to love her and nicely correct her doctrine to those that are buying her and Eckhart’s goofy crystals.
Yo Seth - you speak truth - nothing inherently wrong with Oprah. She is a good interviewer. Love her -what a radical thought - stemming back a couple thousand years as I recall from our history. I hope you DO get the billion Seth - it isn’t the money =evil it is the love of money. Money is a tool - use it wisely right?

What the heck is the countdown thing for?

Jen, my guess is that it is some sort of a countdown of stuff we take for granted. That would be my best guess

Parousia.
If not that, I’m hoping for more blue.
Also, they forgot to give the date for the birth of Oprah.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen it mapped out quite like that....makes one think.
As far as the stuff he’s counting down, maybe he’s packing his suitcase to go see Oprah.....

Next to E-mc2, this is my new favorite equation.

hopefully that some of that blue will actually be what it represents, then spread and that truth will prevail.
